ACTIVE:

1. Stop all connection to target tape and DVD.
2. From OS, execute cfgadm -a to verify Ap_Id of tape and DVD.
3. From OS, execute cfgadm -c unconfigure TAPE_Ap_Id to unconfigure tape from domain.
4. From OS, execute cfgadm -c unconfigure DVD_Ap_Id to unconfigure DVD from domain.
5. From OS, execute cfgadm -a to verify the status of tape and DVD changed from "configured" to "unconfigured."
6. From XSCF, execute cfgdevice -c detach -p <port #> to detach target tape from port.
7. From XSCF, execute cfgdevice -l to confirm the port is not displayed in current connection.
8. Remove and Replace tape unit.
9. From XSCF, execute cfgdevice -c attach -p <port #> to attach tape to port.
10. From XSCF, execute cfgdevice -l command to verify that port number is displayed in current connection.
11. From OS, execute cfgadm -c configure TAPE_Ap_Id and DVD_Ap_Id to configure devices to domain.
12. From OS, execute cfgadm -a to verify the status of tape and DVD changed from "unconfigured" to "configured."

HOT:

1. Stop all connection to tape.
2. Ensure customer has powered down domain.
3. From XSCF, execute cfgdevice -c detach -p <port #> to detach target tape from port.
4. From XSCF, execute cfgdevice -l to confirm the relevant port is not displayed in current connection.
5. Remove tape drive and replace with new one.
6. From XSCF, execute cfgdevice -c attach -p <port #> to attach tape unit to port.
7. From XSCF, execute cfgdevice -l command to verify that specified Port number is displayed in current connection.
