5.2.6 Active/Cold Addition Workflow of the SPARC M12-2S


5.2.6 Active/Cold Addition Workflow of the SPARC M12-2S
Before adding the SPARC M12-2S to the building block configuration, see "Precautions for SPARC M12-2S addition" in "7.2 Precautions for FRU Expansion." To mount the SPARC M12-2S to be added in a rack, see "3.4.1 Mounting the SPARC M12-2S in a Rack" in the Fujitsu SPARC M12-2S Installation Guide.
Table 5-9 shows the workflow for active/cold addition of the SPARC M12-2S.

7 Configuring memory mirroring if duplicating memory "7.6 Configuring Memory Mirroring" in the Fujitsu SPARC M12-2S Installation Guide
8 Adding the added SPARC M12-2S to the PPAR configuration list for the physical partition that is the incorporation destination "7.7 Creating a PPAR Configuration List" in the Fujitsu SPARC M12-2S Installation Guide
9 Assigning the SPARC M12-2S (system board‌) to the physical partition "7.8.1 Assigning a Physical System Board (PSB) to a Physical Partition (PPAR)" in the Fujitsu SPARC M12-2S Installation Guide
10 Incorporating the SPARC M12-2S into the physical partition "10.6.1 Incorporating the SPARC M12-2S Into the Physical Partition Using PPAR DR"
11 Switching the mode switch on the OPNL to Locked "2.3.2 OPNL Control Function"
12 Assigning the resources of the added SPARC M12-2S to logical domains "3.2 Operations and Commands Related to Logical Domain Configurations" in the Fujitsu SPARC M12 and Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 Domain Configuration Guide
*1 Connect cables by following the workflow of the addfru command.
*2 If a SPARC M12-2S with no PCIe cards mounted was added, no diagnosis is necessary (because diagnosis was performed in the previous step).
