6.3.1 Inactive/Hot Removal Workflow of a PCIe Card
6.3.1 Inactive/Hot Removal Workflow of a PCIe Card
You can perform inactive/hot removal of a PCIe card in the following configuration:
- Building block configuration where two or more physical partitions are operating
Before removing a PCIe card, see "Precautions for PCIe card removal" in "7.3 Precautions for FRU Reduction."
Table 6-10 shows the workflow for inactive/hot removal 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 | Checking the usage status of the PCIe card to be removed | "9.2.2 Checking the Assignment Status of I/O Devices" |
3 | Releasing the I/O resources assigned to the PCIe card to be removed | "9.3 Releasing I/O Resources From a Logical Domain" |
4 | Confirming that you can release the PCIe card to be removed | "9.2.1 Checking the Operation Status of Physical Partitions and Logical Domains" |
5 | Saving logical domain configuration information | "9.1.1 Saving Logical Domain Configuration Information" |
6 | Powering off the physical partition containing the SPARC M12-2S from which to remove the PCIe card | "9.5.1 Stopping a Specific Physical Partition" |
7 | Switching the mode switch on the OPNL to Service | "2.3.2 OPNL Control Function" |
8 | Removing the PCICS in which the PCIe card to be removed is mounted from the SPARC M12-2S | "12.3.1 Enabling the Removal of a PCIe Card" |
9 | Removing the PCIe card to be removed, from the PCICS | "12.3.2 Removing a PCIe Card or PCIe Card Filler" |
10 | Installing a PCIe card filler in the PCICS, and installing the PCICS in the SPARC M12-2S | "12.4.1 Installing a PCIe Card or PCIe Card Filler" |
11 | Powering on the physical partition containing the SPARC M12-2S that underwent maintenance | "10.9.1 Starting the System With an XSCF Command" |
12 | Confirming that there is no problem with the system from which the PCIe card was removed | "10.5.3 Checking the FRU Status After Maintenance" |
13 | Switching the mode switch on the OPNL to Locked | "2.3.2 OPNL Control Function" |
14 | Checking the operating condition of the system (*1) | "9.2.1 Checking the Operation Status of Physical Partitions and Logical Domains" |
15 | Saving logical domain configuration information | "9.1.1 Saving Logical Domain Configuration Information" |
*1 Reassign I/O resources to logical domains as required. For details, see "3.2.18 Configuring an I/O Device" in the Fujitsu SPARC M12 and Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 Domain Configuration Guide. |
