4.2.2 Active/Cold Replacement Workflow of a PCIe Card


4.2.2 Active/Cold Replacement Workflow of a PCIe Card
You can perform active/cold replacement of a PCIe card in the following configuration:
  1. Configuration connecting two or more SPARC M12-2S units to a physical partition
Table 4-9 shows the workflow for active/cold replacement of a PCIe card.
