Hi all,
I have a redundant SZ controller (Software Rev: 12.3.1.5220.xr., Hardware Rev: 1.7), and 3 set of redundant CSLS; with DeltaV 12.3
Initially, i commissioned the SZ controller and i was also able to download it. Then i assigned the CSLS to their respective placeholders, then they were commissioned.
When i tried to download the CSLS, the download didn't complete. After trying many times without success, i then decided to unassign the CSLS, but they failed to unassign. All i could do was to decommission the controller and swapped the SCLS from their respective slots to see if they would decommission and unssign themselves in Explorer. The CSLS decommissioned hardware wise, but still showing as commissioned in explorer and also has X on it.
Current State
1. CSLC cards are decommissioned hardware wise.
2. CSLC cards are not decommissioned software wise.
3. SZ controller can be commissioned on the placeholder but doesn't download completely.
SZ Controller Error during download: Error Code 327781 RTC_NO_FB_DEFINITION_EXISTS.
Because of these errors, i then tried to create a new placeholder for the SZ controller. I commissioned it and was able to download it with the new placeholder without error. This shows the former placeholder is corrupt i guess.
I exported the old placeholder and deleted the license line when opened with note pad. For me to import it back to the database, i have to delete the old placeholder to have the license floating; but i can't delete the placeholder because of the (3) SCLS that are showing as commissioned in explorer.
Please help me with how i can unassing or remove or delete these CSLS and the whole SZ controller node from the Database.
Meanwhile, there are some other nodes that are live(Running Plants) in the database.
Thanks in advance for your kind replies.

In reply to Tadeu Batista:
From a KBA I found:
Important: To resolve the issue, you must apply the hotfix, and then import the database. For DeltaV v12.3 and v13.3 systems: A software solution is not available for these versions. We recommend upgrading your system to DeltaV v12.3.1, v13.3.1 or later.
So maybe though a version issue...
In reply to Stefan Muellner:
Thank you all for your concerns and contributions so far.
To update you:
I bypassed the switches (1 for Pry. and 1 for Sec.) connected in-between the SZ Controller and the Main Control Network hubs (Pry. And Sec.) then surprisingly I was able to download the SZ controller on the Old placeholder. Reasons for not being able to download with the former connections; I don’t know!
The issue I have left now is how I can unassign or delete the 3 CSLS nodes from the Database.
Thanks in advance for your resolution advice.
