4.3.2 Inactive/Hot Replacement Workflow of a PCIe Card
4.3.2 Inactive/Hot Replacement Workflow of a PCIe Card
You can perform inactive/hot replacement of a PCIe card in the following configuration:
- Building block configuration where two or more physical partitions are operating
Before replacing the PCIe card, see "Precautions for PCIe card replacement" in "7.1 Precautions for FRU Replacement."
Table 4-24 shows the workflow for inactive/hot replacement of a PCIe card.
Work Order | Task | Reference |
---|---|---|
1 | Checking the operating condition of the system | "9.2.1 Checking the Operation Status of Physical Partitions and Logical Domains" |
2 | Confirming the PCIe card to be replaced | "8.2 Troubleshooting" |
3 | Checking the operation status of the SPARC M12-2S that houses the PCIe card to be replaced | "Table 2-21 PCIe Card Slot LEDs and Their States" |
4 | Powering off the physical partition containing the SPARC M12-2S that houses the FRU requiring maintenance | "9.5.1 Stopping a Specific Physical Partition" |
5 | Switching the mode switch on the OPNL to Service | "2.3.2 OPNL Control Function" |
6 | Removing the faulty PCIe card from the SPARC M12-2S | "12.3.1 Enabling the Removal of a PCIe Card" |
7 | Removing the faulty PCIe card from the PCICS | "12.3.2 Removing a PCIe Card or PCIe Card Filler" |
8 | Installing the replacement PCIe card in the PCICS to install it in the SPARC M12-2S | "12.4.1 Installing a PCIe Card or PCIe Card Filler" |
9 | Powering on the physical partition containing the SPARC M12-2S that underwent maintenance | "10.8 Powering on a Physical Partition" (*1) |
10 | Confirming that there is no problem with the replacement PCIe card | "10.5.3 Checking the FRU Status After Maintenance" |
11 | Switching the mode switch on the OPNL to Locked | "2.3.2 OPNL Control Function" |
12 | Checking the operating condition of the system | "9.2.1 Checking the Operation Status of Physical Partitions and Logical Domains" |
*1 Do not switch the mode switch on the OPNL to Locked at this point. |
