You can remove a path so it is no longer available to the external volume. You remove a path to replace it with another external path or to perform maintenance on the physical link.

Note: If all external paths are not removed before detaching a channel board, the channel board cannot be detached.

Before removing a path, make sure it is disconnected. See Disconnecting an external path for instructions.
