  9. 6.3.1 Inactive/Hot Removal Workflow of a PCIe Card

6.3.1 Inactive/Hot Removal Workflow of a PCIe Card


6.3.1 Inactive/Hot Removal Workflow of a PCIe Card
You can perform inactive/hot removal of a PCIe card in the following configuration:
  1. Building block configuration where two or more physical partitions are operating
Before removing a PCIe card, see "Precautions for PCIe card removal" in "7.3 Precautions for FRU Reduction."
Table 6-10 shows the workflow for inactive/hot removal of a PCIe card.
Table 6-10  Inactive/Hot Removal Procedure of a PCIe Card
Work Order Task Reference
1 Checking the operating condition of the system "9.2.1 Checking the Operation Status of Physical Partitions and Logical Domains"
2 Checking the usage status of the PCIe card to be removed "9.2.2 Checking the Assignment Status of I/O Devices"
3 Releasing the I/O resources assigned to the PCIe card to be removed "9.3 Releasing I/O Resources From a Logical Domain"
4 Confirming that you can release the PCIe card to be removed "9.2.1 Checking the Operation Status of Physical Partitions and Logical Domains"
5 Saving logical domain configuration information "9.1.1 Saving Logical Domain Configuration Information"
6 Powering off the physical partition containing the SPARC M12-2S from which to remove the PCIe card "9.5.1 Stopping a Specific Physical Partition"
7 Switching the mode switch on the OPNL to Service "2.3.2 OPNL Control Function"
8 Removing the PCICS in which the PCIe card to be removed is mounted from the SPARC M12-2S "12.3.1 Enabling the Removal of a PCIe Card"
9 Removing the PCIe card to be removed, from the PCICS "12.3.2 Removing a PCIe Card or PCIe Card Filler"
10 Installing a PCIe card filler in the PCICS, and installing the PCICS in the SPARC M12-2S "12.4.1 Installing a PCIe Card or PCIe Card Filler"
11 Powering on the physical partition containing the SPARC M12-2S that underwent maintenance "10.9.1 Starting the System With an XSCF Command"
12 Confirming that there is no problem with the system from which the PCIe card was removed "10.5.3 Checking the FRU Status After Maintenance"
13 Switching the mode switch on the OPNL to Locked "2.3.2 OPNL Control Function"
14 Checking the operating condition of the system (*1) "9.2.1 Checking the Operation Status of Physical Partitions and Logical Domains"
15 Saving logical domain configuration information "9.1.1 Saving Logical Domain Configuration Information"
*1 Reassign I/O resources to logical domains as required. For details, see "3.2.18 Configuring an I/O Device" in the Fujitsu SPARC M12 and Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 Domain Configuration Guide.
