Find information for Host and SAN disconnect

Can someone point me in the right direction as to where I can find information on how to cleanly disconnect my AIX 5.3 host from our DS/4200 SAN. I have to do a firmware upgrade on the SAN.

-Thanks

shutdown -F
Check your HAS / driver and adapter / switch / DS and disk firmware levels are compatible before you go for it Smilie

If the rootvg is not affected it should be possible to use "varyoffvg" to disconnect from the SAN, no? No need to shutdown.

On the other hand, though, rebooting makes sure your newly installed drivers, firmwares, etc., are all used.
