3.2 Active Maintenance
The type of maintenance performed with Oracle Solaris operating on the physical partition to which the FRU requiring maintenance belongs is referred to as active maintenance.
Table 3-1 and Figure 3-1 show FRUs of the crossbar box with active maintenance enabled.

*1 Maintenance is performed on the XSCF in the standby state or a slave XSCF. If the XSCF is operating as the master XSCF, switch it to a standby XSCF.
*2 Hot maintenance is enabled only when you perform maintenance work on an XSCF BB control cable connecting crossbar boxes to each other.
*3 This is supported only for a redundant configuration.
*4 To maintain the XSCF BB control cable that connects the crossbar box to the SPARC M12-2S/M10-4S, the connected SPARC M12-2S/M10-4S must be powered off after it is released from the physical partition by using the PPAR DR function.
