Scenarios requiring a VCS shutdown
It is necessary to stop VCS and unconfigure GAB and LLT in certain circumstances.
VCS must be shutdown under the following circumstances:
When performing dynamic reconfiguration on a system board (CPU/Memory board) with permanent memory.
When the I/O board requiring reconfiguration contains all the private network links used by the domain.
When the I/O board contains the only public network links used by the domain.
When the I/O board contains all of the paths to a storage device.
The necessity of performing a VCS shutdown can be reduced by some device layout planning before clustering the domains.
