5.4.2 Releasing FRUs in the Chassis of the Physical Partition


5.4.2 Releasing FRUs in the Chassis of the Physical Partition
This section describes the procedure for releasing FRUs in the chassis of the physical partition, in an example where the physical partition is connected to a crossbar box.
Before releasing FRUs in the chassis of the physical partition, enable maintenance on the FRUs by stopping Oracle Solaris on the physical partition, which this chassis belongs to, or releasing the connecting chassis from the physical partition. For details, see "3.4 Types of Maintenance Applicable to the SPARC M12-2S (Multiple-BB Configuration)" in the Fujitsu SPARC M12-2/M12-2S Service Manual or "Figure 7-6 Active/cold replacement flow (building block configuration only)" in the Fujitsu M10-4/Fujitsu M10-4S/SPARC M10-4/SPARC M10-4S Service Manual.
  1. Log in to the XSCF shell.
  2. Execute the replacefru command to display the maintenance menu.
XSCF> replacefru
  1. Select the model requiring maintenance by specifying it with a numeric key.
    Specify the chassis where the FRU requiring maintenance is mounted. In this example, since the physical partition chassis requires maintenance, "1" is entered.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maintenance/Replacement Menu
Please select a type of model which has FRU to be replaced.

1. BB (4s Building Block Model)

2. XBBOX (XB-BOX Model)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Select [1,2|c:cancel] :1
  1. Select the chassis requiring maintenance by specifying it with a numeric key.
    Select the chassis that indicates an abnormal status. In this example, since maintenance is performed on BB#0 that indicates an abnormal status, "1" is entered.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maintenance/Replacement Menu
Please select the chassis including replaced FRU.

No. FRU Status
--- ------------------- --------------

1 /BB#0 Degraded

2 /BB#1 Normal

3 /BB#2 Normal

4 /BB#3 Normal

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Select [1-4|c:cancel] :1
  1. Select the FRU requiring maintenance by specifying it with a numeric key.
    In this example, since maintenance is performed with the chassis removed, "1" is entered.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maintenance/Replacement Menu
Please select the BB or a type of FRU to be replaced.

1. BB itself

2. FAN (Fan Unit)

3. PSU (Power Supply Unit)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Select [1-3|c:cancel] :1
  1. Select the part requiring maintenance by specifying it with a numeric key.
    For the FRU selected in step 5, each part status is shown. In this example, since the chassis of BB#0 is to be removed, "1" is entered.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maintenance/Replacement Menu
Please select a FRU to be replaced.

No. FRU Status
--- ------------------- --------------

1 /BB#0 Degraded

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Select [1|b:back] :1
  1. After confirming that the selected FRU is displayed, enter "r".
You are about to replace BB#0.
Do you want to continue?[r:replace|c:cancel] :r
  1. Confirm that the CHECK LEDs on the operation panel of the chassis requiring maintenance and the system locator are blinking and the CHECK LED on the FRU requiring maintenance is on or blinking.
    For details on the locations of LEDs, see "2.3.2 LEDs on the Rear Panel (System Locator)" and "2.3 Checking the LED Indications."
Please execute the following steps:
1) Confirm the XSCF STANDBY LED of BB#0 is not lit.
2) Turn off the breaker of BB#0.
3) Remove BB#0.
4) Execute either the following:
4-1) After the exchanged device is connected with the system,
turn on the breaker of BB#0, and please select 'finish'.
4-2) If you want to suspend the maintenance without exchanging device,
please select 'cancel'.
[f:finish|c:cancel] :
Then, remove the FRU requiring maintenance. For the procedure for removing a FRU, see the maintenance procedure on FRUs in Chapter 8 and later. Do not enter "f" until you complete the maintenance work.
After replacing the chassis or the FRU requiring maintenance, enter "f" to start restoring the chassis of the physical partition. For details, see "6.2.2 Restoring the FRUs of the Chassis of the Physical Partition."
