  9. 4.2.11 Active/Cold Replacement Workflow of the BPU

4.2.11 Active/Cold Replacement Workflow of the BPU


4.2.11 Active/Cold Replacement Workflow of the BPU
You can perform active/cold replacement of the BPU in the following configuration:
  1. Configuration connecting two or more SPARC M12-2S units to a physical partition
Table 4-18 shows the workflow for active/cold replacement of the BPU.
Table 4-18  Active/Cold Replacement Procedure of the BPU
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 Checking the logical domain assignment status of CPU resources mounted in the SPARC M12-2S requiring maintenance "3.2.4 Checking the Assignment Status of Resources" in the Fujitsu SPARC M12 and Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 Domain Configuration Guide
3 Checking the logical domain assignment status of memory resources mounted in the SPARC M12-2S requiring maintenance "3.2.4 Checking the Assignment Status of Resources" in the Fujitsu SPARC M12 and Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 Domain Configuration Guide
4 Releasing I/O resources of the SPARC M12-2S requiring maintenance from a logical domain "9.3 Releasing I/O Resources From a Logical Domain"
5 Releasing the SPARC M12-2S requiring maintenance from the physical partition "9.4.3 Dynamically Releasing the SPARC M12-2S From the Physical Partition"
6 Releasing the SPARC M12-2S requiring maintenance from the building block configuration "9.6.1 Releasing the SPARC M12-2S From the Building Block Configuration"
7 Placing the SPARC M12-2S requiring maintenance into the cold state, and removing the BPU from the SPARC M12-2S "18.4 Removing the BPU and PSUBP"
8 Installing the BPU in the SPARC M12-2S, and placing the SPARC M12-2S that required maintenance into the hot state "18.5 Installing the BPU and PSUBP"
9 Incorporating the SPARC M12-2S that required maintenance into the building block configuration "10.4.1 Incorporating the SPARC M12-2S Into a Building Block Configuration"
10 Diagnosing the SPARC M12-2S requiring maintenance (*1) "10.5.1 Diagnosing the SPARC M12 Hardware"
11 Diagnosing the XBU and crossbar cable of the SPARC M12-2S requiring maintenance "10.5.2 Diagnosing the XBU and Crossbar Cable"
12 Confirming that there is no problem with the replacement BPU "10.5.3 Checking the FRU Status After Maintenance"
13 Incorporating the SPARC M12-2S that required maintenance into the physical partition "10.6.1 Incorporating the SPARC M12-2S Into the Physical Partition Using PPAR DR"
