10.4.4 Incorporating the XSCFU


10.4.4 Incorporating the XSCFU
This section describes the procedure for incorporating the replacement XSCFU into the SPARC M12-2S. This procedure is done after the faulty XSCFU is removed, as described in "9.6.4 Releasing the XSCFU," and the replacement XSCFU is mounted.
  1. Incorporate the XSCFU into the system.
    After mounting the replacement XSCFU, wait at least 10 seconds. Then, return to the operation screen of the replacefru command and enter "f".
Please execute the following steps:
1) Confirm the XSCF STANDBY LED of BB#0/XSCFU is not lit.
2) Remove BB#0/XSCFU.
3) After installing the exchanged device, please select [f:finish] :f
  1. During the incorporation process, the following screen is displayed to let you check the status.
Waiting for BB#0/XSCFU to enter install state.
[This operation may take up to 20 minute(s)]
(progress scale reported in seconds)
0..... 30..... 60..... 90..... 120..... 150..... 180..... 210.....
240.. Done

Waiting for BB#0/XSCFU to enter ready state.
[This operation may take up to 90 minute(s)]
(progress scale reported in seconds)
0..... 30..... 60..... 90..... 120..... 150..... 180..... 210.....

710..... 740..... 770..... 800..... 830..... 860..... 890..... 920.....

950..... 980.....1010... done
  1. Check the result of incorporating the XSCFU.
    Check that Normal is displayed under Status. Then, enter "f" to finish the maintenance of the XSCFU.

Please confirm the error(s) by "showlogs error".
In addition, please confirm the hardware configuration by "showhardconf".
The replacement of BB#0/XSCFU has completed normally.[f:finish] :f
If the displayed status is abnormal (Degrade or Fault), finish the maintenance of the XSCFU and return to the maintenance start screen. Perform maintenance on the XSCFU again, and check whether the XSCFU is correctly mounted.
  1. End the replacefru command.
    When the maintenance start screen appears, enter "c" to end the replacefru command.

The action to take if the command does not end normally is as follows.
  1. replacefru failed with [Warning:051] as the response.
    The unit cannot be replaced because the XSCF is running as master switching, power-on, reset, or the like is in progress. Wait a moment, and then retry.
  2. replacefru failed with [Warning:042] as the response.
    One of the commands listed below is running. Wait for the command to end, and then retry.
    - addboard(8)

    - addfru(8)

    - addpowerschedule(8)

    - clearremotepwrmgmt(8)

    - deleteboard(8)

    - deletepowerschedule(8)

    - diagxbu(8)

    - flashupdate(8)

    - initbb(8)

    - ioxadm(8)

    - poweroff(8)

    - poweron(8)

    - rebootxscf(8)

    - reset(8)

    - restoreconfig(8)

    - setcod(8)

    - setremotepwrmgmt(8)

    - setupfru(8)

    - testsb(8)

    - setinterimpermit(8)

    - sethsmode(8)
  3. While the XSCFU was being replaced, the replacefru command was aborted because the XSCF was rebooted due to an XSCF panic or other cause.
    Wait for the XSCF reboot to complete. Then, execute replacefru again to resume the replacement work.
  4. Active replacement of the XSCFU failed because of a defective part (XSCFU).
    Prepare a new replacement part (XSCFU) immediately to complete the replacement. If left unfinished, the failed replacement work may have a serious effect on the system.
    If you cannot prepare a new replacement part (XSCFU) immediately, release the target SPARC M12-2S from the system by following the procedure below.
    1. Shut down Oracle Solaris on all the PPARs and domains.

    2. Execute the poweroff -f command to forcibly power off all the PPARs.

    3. Remove the power cords of every SPARC M12-2S.

    4. Release the target SPARC M12-2S from the system.

    5. Install the power cords of every SPARC M12-2S.
  5. During the active replacement of the XSCFU, the physical partition was restarted because the hardware of another SPARC M12-2S failed.
    After completing the XSCFU replacement work, execute the showboards command to check the status of the target PSB. If Pwr is y, Conn is n, and Conf is n for the target PSB, restore the system by performing the procedure below.
XSCF> showboards -av
PSB R PPAR-ID(LSB) Assignment Pwr Conn Conf Test Fault
---- - ------------ ----------- ---- ---- ---- ------- --------

00-0 00(00) Assigned y y y Passed Normal ← PPAR reset completed
01-0 00(01) Assigned y y y Passed Normal ← PPAR reset completed
02-0 00(02) Assigned y y y Passed Normal ← PPAR reset completed
03-0 00(03) Assigned y n n Passed Normal ← During XSCFU replacement, PPAR configuration is released.
  1. Restoration procedure:
    1. Shut down Oracle Solaris on all the PPARs and domains.

    2. Execute the poweroff -f command to forcibly power off all the PPARs.

    3. Remove the power cords of every SPARC M12-2S.

    4. Replace faulty parts if any.

    5. Install the power cords of every SPARC M12-2S.
