Link Aggregation HPUX

Hi,

Hoping someone can offer some advice on something i have not dealt with before.

We have a server that seems to have some very strange configuration done on it. It has 2 physical NIC's and rather than both be aggregated into LAN900 we have 1 in LAN900 and 1 in LAN901? (See Below)
Code:
root@uk205:/etc/rc.config.d> nwmgr --get

Name/          Interface Station          Sub-   Interface      Related
ClassInstance  State     Address        system   Type           Interface
============== ========= ============== ======== ============== =========
lan0           UP        0x00215ADE6C5A iether   1000Base-T     lan901
lan1           UP        0x00215ADE6C5B iether   1000Base-T     lan900
lan900         UP        0x00215ADE6C5B hp_apa   hp_apa
lan901         UP        0x00215ADE6C5A hp_apa   hp_apa
lan902         DOWN      0x000000000000 hp_apa   hp_apa
lan903         DOWN      0x000000000000 hp_apa   hp_apa
lan904         DOWN      0x000000000000 hp_apa   hp_apa

My question is this. We have been asked to remove the aggregation as we are trying to figure out some connectivity issues and want to revert back to running network traffic via 1 single NIC to start with. But how do i go about removing the aggregation configuration?

Can i just use the command nwmgr -d -A links=0 -I 900 -S apa for example to remove each port and then stop the daemon with /sbin/init.d/hpapa stop?

Would that work?

Why not remove the port from the aggregate? using
Code:
lanadmin -d [-X -d portPPA [portPPA...] linkAggregatePPA]

Sorted

I sorted it by managaing to find a test server we could put APA on and testing various options.

Thanks
