A tape adapter needs to be moved from one partition to another. On the HMC, after selecting the
partition which currently owns the adapter, the path below is followed:
Dynamic Logical Partitioning –> Physical Adapters –> Move or Remove
After selecting the appropriate resource and target partition, “OK” is selected. The HMC returns
the following error “Dynamic remove of I/O resources failed: The I/O slot dynamic logical
partitioning operation failed.”
What is the most likely cause of this failure?

A.
The tape device attached to the adapter is varied-on.

B.
The tape device attached to the adapter has media mounted.

C.
The tape device attached to the adapter is not connected to a power source.

D.
The adapter slot must be powered-oft through SST prior to the dynamic move operation.
