4.1.2 Active/Hot Replacement Workflow of a PCIe Card


4.1.2 Active/Hot Replacement Workflow of a PCIe Card
This section describes the workflow for active/hot replacement of a PCIe card. The same workflow applies when you perform active/hot replacement for a PCIe card mounted in the PCI expansion unit.
Before replacing the PCIe card, see "Precautions for PCIe card replacement" in "7.1 Precautions for FRU Replacement." When replacing a link card connected to the PCI expansion unit, see the precautions for link card replacement in "4.2.1 Precautions for Replacement" in the PCI Expansion Unit for Fujitsu SPARC M12 and Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 Service Manual.
Table 4-2 shows the workflow for active/hot replacement of a PCIe card using the PCI Hot Plug function.
Table 4-2  Active/Hot Replacement Procedure of a PCIe Card
Work Order Task Reference
1 Checking the operating condition of the system and the I/O device usage status "9.2 Checking the Operation Status and Resource Usage Status of Oracle Solaris"
2 Releasing the assignment of the PCIe card "9.3 Releasing I/O Resources From a Logical Domain"
3 Enabling the removal of the faulty PCIe card from the system "9.4 Enabling the Removal of Hardware"
4 Removing the faulty PCIe card from the SPARC M12-2/M12-2S "12.3.1 Enabling the Removal of a PCIe Card"
5 Removing the PCIe card from the PCICS "12.3.2 Removing a PCIe Card or PCIe Card Filler"
6 Installing the replacement PCIe card in the PCICS to install it in the SPARC M12-2/M12-2S "12.4.1 Installing a PCIe Card or PCIe Card Filler"
7 Incorporating the replacement PCIe card into the system "10.6.2 Incorporating an I/O Device Into the Physical Partition by Using the Hot Plug Function"
8 Confirming that there is no problem with the replacement PCIe card "10.5.3 Checking the FRU Status After Maintenance"
9 Restoring logical domains "10.7 Incorporating I/O Resources Into a Logical Domain"
Note - Active/Hot replacement of the link card connected to the PCI expansion unit includes the work of incorporating the link card into the system. At that time, remove all the PCIe cards mounted in the PCI expansion unit.
