/cx/px remove [noscan] [quiet]
This command allows you to remove (or export) a port (or drive) /cx/px. Exporting a port instructs the firmware to remove the specified port from its pool of managed ports, but does not retain the DCB (Disk Configuration Block) metadata on the attached disk. You can import (or re-introduce) the port by rescanning the controller.
noscan is used to not inform the operating system of this change. The default is to inform the operating system.
quiet is for non-interactive mode.
 
Warning: Use caution when using this command as this operation will degrade any redundant units. This command will fail if you attempt to remove a drive from a non-redundant unit. After the drive is removed in CLI it can be removed physically, without powering down the system if a hot swap bay is available. System hangs and damage can occur if a hot swap bay is not used.
