Hello,
I have 3PAR 7400c and two cage M6720.
Service Processor 5.0.2.0-23974, 3PAR OS 3.3.1.215 (GA)+P01,P02,P04,P06,P13,P16
Code:
showcage
=====================================
Id Name  LoopA Pos.A LoopB Pos.B Drives Temp  RevA RevB Model FormFactor
 0 cage0 1:0:1     0 0:0:1     0     16 30-31 4082 4082 DCN1  SFF       
 1 cage1 1:0:2     0 0:0:2     0     12 32-35 4082 4082 DCS1  LFF       
 2 cage2 1:0:1     1 0:0:1     1     23 32-35 4082 4082 DCS1  LFF
I need to remove "cage2". My actions:
- all data deleted on cage2
- all physical disks are deleted using the command "dismisspd"
- all physical disk have status "new"
- trying to remove "cage2"
Code:
servicecage remove cage2
Are you sure you want to run "servicecage remove cage2"?
select q=quit y=yes n=no: y
Remove cage2 failed. It has active ports
And now interesting, i'm trying to offline the ports "1:0:1":
Code:
controlport offline 1:0:1
WARNING: Port 1:0:1 has active disks that may be disrupted.
Are you sure you want to run controlport offline on port 1:0:1?
select q=quit y=yes n=no: y
and "0:0:1":
Code:
controlport offline 0:0:1
WARNING: Port 0:0:1 has active disks that may be disrupted.
Are you sure you want to run controlport offline on port 0:0:1?
select q=quit y=yes n=no: y
Oops! And here the system 3PAR reboots with errors:
lost connection with virtual volume ".srdata" and "admin" who were on "cage0"
Tell me how to correctly remove "cage2".
Thanks!

Look at your showcage and see how cage0 is connected. When you offline 0:0:1 and 1:0:1 you're also cutting off cage0 which contains the FC drives which has the .srdata and admin volumes.

How to correctly remove "cage2"?
Thanks!

I would assume that you need to dismiss all pds in the cage prior to removing the cage.

I haven't done it before so just an assumption based on it complaining about active ports.

Contact HPE support, their recommendations:
- move data from the cage2 (http://3parug.com/viewtopic.php?p=5529)
- "dismisspd" all physical disks in cage2
- turn off the power supply units in cage2
- execute the command "servicecage remove cage2"
- disconnect all cables from cage2
- execute the command "adminhw"
Good luck!
