4.4.2 Inactive/Cold Replacement Workflow of a PCIe Card


4.4.2 Inactive/Cold Replacement Workflow of a PCIe Card
You can perform inactive/cold replacement of a PCIe card in the following configuration:
  1. Building block configuration where two or more physical partitions are operating
Table 4-30 shows the workflow for inactive/cold replacement of a PCIe card.
Table 4-30   Inactive/Cold Replacement Procedure 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 PCI Expansion Unit for Fujitsu SPARC M12 and Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 Service Manual
4 Powering off the physical partition containing the SPARC M12-2S that houses the PCIe card 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 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 "9.8.2 Removing the Power Cords"
8 Removing the faulty PCIe card from the SPARC M12-2S "12.3.1 Enabling the Removal of a PCIe Card"
9 Removing the faulty PCIe card from the PCICS "12.3.2 Removing a PCIe Card or PCIe Card Filler"
10 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"
11 Placing the SPARC M12-2S that required maintenance into the hot state "10.1.1 Installing a Power Cord"
12 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"
13 Diagnosing the SPARC M12-2S requiring maintenance "10.5.1 Diagnosing the SPARC M12 Hardware"
14 Powering on the physical partition containing the SPARC M12-2S that underwent maintenance "10.8 Powering on a Physical Partition" (*1)
15 Confirming that there is no problem with the replacement PCIe card "10.5.3 Checking the FRU Status After Maintenance"
16 Switching the mode switch on the OPNL to Locked "2.3.2 OPNL Control Function"
17 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.
