5.2.3 Releasing the Chassis for a Connecting Physical Partition From a Physical Partition


5.2.3 Releasing the Chassis for a Connecting Physical Partition From a Physical Partition
This section describes the procedure for releasing the chassis of a physical partition by using dynamic reconfiguration of a physical partition (PPAR DR).
Note - For the versions of XCP and Oracle VM Server for SPARC/SRU that support dynamic reconfiguration of a physical partition (PPAR DR), see the latest Product Notes.
Note - To use the dynamic reconfiguration (PPAR DR) function for physical partitions, you must configure the logical domains in advance as described in "2.5 Dynamic Reconfiguration Conditions and Settings" in the Fujitsu SPARC M12 and Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 Domain Configuration Guide.
  1. Confirm that no logical domain is using an I/O device in the chassis for the connecting physical partition.
    For details, see "9.4 Enabling the Removal of Hardware" in the Fujitsu SPARC M12-2/M12-2S Service Manual or "5.3 Checking the Operating Condition and Resource Usage Status" and "5.4.1 Releasing the assignment of I/O devices" in the Fujitsu M10-4/Fujitsu M10-4S/SPARC M10-4/SPARC M10-4S Service Manual.
  2. Log in to the XSCF shell.
  3. If the chassis for the connecting physical partition is operating as the master chassis, execute the switchscf command to switch the master XSCF to the standby XSCF.
    Enter "y" in response to the confirmation message.
    If the chassis for the connecting physical partition is a slave XSCF, go to step 5.
XSCF> switchscf -t Master
The XSCF unit switch between the Master and Standby states.
Continue? [y|n] :y
  1. Log in to the XSCF again.
  2. Execute the showboards command to check the status of the chassis for the connecting physical partition.
    The BB-ID of the chassis for the connecting physical partition is displayed as a system board (PSB) number.
    In the following example, the [Fault] column displays "Degraded" for PSB 00-0, indicating that the system board is operating with some faulty parts.
XSCF> showboards -va
PSB PPAR-ID(LSB) Assignment Pwr Conn Conf Test Fault
---- ------------ ----------- ---- ---- ---- ------- --------

00-0 00(00) Assigned y y y Passed Degraded
01-0 00(01) Assigned y y y Passed Normal
02-0 00(02) Assigned y y y Passed Normal
03-0 00(03) Assigned y y y Passed Normal
  1. Execute the deleteboard command with the -c disconnect option specified to release the chassis for the connecting physical partition from a physical partition.
    If any of the CPU cores, memory, and PCIe root complex resources were not manually released beforehand, be sure to specify the -m unbind=resource option. With this option specified, the command automatically deletes the resources and then releases the system board.
Note - The -m unbind=resource option of the deleteboard command is supported by Oracle VM Server for SPARC 3.2 or later.
  1. In the following example, PSB 00-0 is released from the physical partition.
XSCF> deleteboard -c disconnect 00-0
  1. Execute the showresult command to check the end status of the deleteboard command that was just executed.
    The following example shows that "0" was returned as the end status because the execution of the deleteboard command completed successfully.
XSCF> showresult
0
  1. Execute the showboards command to confirm that the chassis for the connecting physical partition has been released from the physical partition.
    In the following example, the [Pwr], [Conn], and [Conf] columns all display "n" for PSB 00-0, indicating that PSB 00-0 has been released.
XSCF> showboards -a
PSB PPAR-ID(LSB) Assignment Pwr Conn Conf Test Fault
---- ------------ ----------- ---- ---- ---- ------- --------

00-0 00(00) Assigned n n n Passed Degraded
01-0 00(01) Assigned y y y Passed Normal
02-0 00(02) Assigned y y y Passed Normal
03-0 00(03) Assigned y y y Passed Normal
  1. Execute the ldm list-domain command from the control domain console of the physical partition to check for any change in the operating condition of the logical domain after the deletion of the system board.
