[solved] Can't Remove Virt Adapter on VIO

Hello AIX GURU's
I try to remove Virtual Scsi from vio2 but it shows the following error:

Code:

 Virtual adapters that are marked as Required cannot be dynamically removed from the partition. Please change your adapter selections and try the operation again.

the adapter is removed from VIO using the following command:

Code:

rmdev -dev vhost2 -recursive

and in VIO profile there is no any definition about the virtual scsi adapter.. it exists only in
Dinamic Logigal partitioning sub menu .... I suppose there is some problem with RMC or HMC or Hypervisor .... P.S. on VIO1 everything works just perfect

Well I solved the above problem by shutting down VIO and starting again... rebooting VIO did't help because while rebooting it's doesn't read Nvram therefore VIO still was thinking that it still had Virtaual adapters added as required :-)

NAME

       scconf_transp_adap_qfe - configure the qfe transport adapter

DESCRIPTION

       Note -

	 Beginning  with  the Sun Cluster 3.2 release, Sun Cluster software includes an object-oriented command set. Although Sun Cluster software
	 still supports the original command set, Sun Cluster procedural documentation uses only the object-oriented command set. For more  infor-
	 mation about the object-oriented command set, see the Intro(1CL) man page.

       You can configure qfe Ethernet adapters as cluster transport adapters. These adapters can only be used with transport type dlpi.

       The  qfe Ethernet adapter connects to a transport switch or to another Ethernet adapter on a different node. In either case, the connection
       is made through a transport cable.

       When a transport switch is used and the endpoints of the transport cable are configured by using scconf, scinstall, or other tools, you are
       asked to specify a port name on the transport switch.  You can provide any port name, or accept the default,  as long as the name is unique
       for the switch.

       The default is to set the port name to the node ID hosting  the adapter at the other end of the cable.

       There are no user configurable properties for cluster transport adapters of this type.
