Use this command to delete a path or device definition.
Requirements and Restrictions
- Enter the ZMPIF STOP command to stop the device or path before you delete
it.
- If your loosely coupled complex includes processors that are using a TPF
image with 32-way loosely coupled processor support and other processors that
are using images that do not include 32-way loosely coupled processor support,
be aware of the following:
- If the command is entered on a processor that does not include 32-way
loosely coupled processor support, any deletions that are entered must be
reentered when 32-way loosely coupled processor support is installed on the
processor.
- If the command is entered on a processor that includes 32-way loosely
coupled processor support, any deletions that are entered will be lost and
must be reentered if you fall back to a previous level of support on that
processor. If you restore 32-way loosely coupled processor support
after falling back to the previous level, the deletions are also
restored.
