    Hi to all,

    We had a problem in replacing an Ethernet Card on a 8204-E4A server. The problem is that it can not remove the card ent3.
    We tried to replace the Ethernet Card with concurrent procedure in both ways from HMC and from AIX (VIOS). The procedure failed with the attached errors from HMC.

    After that we tried to remove it manualy with the rmdev -Rdl ent3, the output is as below:

    > # rmdev -Rdl ent3
    > Method error (/usr/lib/methods/ucfgcommo):
    > 0514-062 Cannot perform the requested function because the
    > specified device is busy.

    Could you help us how to replace it in concurrent mode??

    Thanks and

    Best regards

    We thought to remove the Ethernet Adapter online, as the removed online failed , becouse of some investigation, it was seemed that it was a sw that was not leting the ethernet to be removed, we choosed the simple way with shutdown procedure, replaced the ethernet adapter and ipl-ed. After that everything worked fine.

    I hope that i helped you a little :)
