5.6.6 System-Stopped/Cold Addition Workflow of the SPARC M12-2S


5.6.6 System-Stopped/Cold Addition Workflow of the SPARC M12-2S
You can perform system-stopped/cold addition of the SPARC M12-2S in the following model:
  1. Building block configuration connecting one or more SPARC M12-2S units
Before adding the SPARC M12-2S, 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 5-27 shows the workflow for system-stopped/cold addition of the SPARC M12-2S.

11 Configuring memory mirroring if duplicating memory "7.6 Configuring Memory Mirroring" in the Fujitsu SPARC M12-2S Installation Guide
12 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
13 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
14 Switching the mode switch on the OPNL to Locked (*5) "2.3.2 OPNL Control Function"
15 Registering a CPU Activation key with the system (*6) "7.10 Registering a CPU Activation Key" in the Fujitsu SPARC M12-2S Installation Guide
16 Assigning CPU core resources to the physical partition "7.11 Assigning CPU Core Resources" in the Fujitsu SPARC M12-2S Installation Guide
17 Powering on all physical partitions "10.9.1 Starting the System With an XSCF Command"
18 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 Before adding the SPARC M12-2S, switch the mode switch on its OPNL to Service.

*2 If the XCP firmware version is different between the maintenance part and the existing system, the message "XSCF firmware update now in progress. BB#xx, please wait for XSCF firmware update complete." appears at login to the XSCF. Then, the XCP firmware version will be automatically matched. The version matching takes about 50 minutes. Execute the showlogs monitor command, and check for the "XCP firmware version synchronization completed" message. The displayed message indicates the completion of XCP firmware matching.

*3 If the "SCF:Gaps between BB-ID" message appears in the error log, ignore the message.

*4 If the "SCF:SCF Diagnosis initialize RTC" message appears in the error log, ignore the message.

*5 Also switch the mode switch on the OPNL of the added SPARC M12-2S to Locked.

*6 One CD-ROM disk containing a CPU Activation certificate is provided with the system. The CPU Activation key ordered together with the SPARC M12-2S was registered with the system before shipment.
