  9. 6.3.3 Inactive/Hot Removal Workflow of the PCI Expansion Unit

6.3.3 Inactive/Hot Removal Workflow of the PCI Expansion Unit


6.3.3 Inactive/Hot Removal Workflow of the PCI Expansion Unit
You can perform inactive/hot removal of a PCI expansion unit in the following configuration:
  1. Building block configuration where two or more physical partitions are operating
Table 6-12 shows the workflow for inactive/hot removal of a PCI expansion unit.
Table 6-12  Inactive/Hot Removal Procedure of a PCI Expansion Unit
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 PCI expansion unit to be removed "9.2.2 Checking the Assignment Status of I/O Devices"
3 Releasing the I/O resources assigned to the PCIe cards mounted in the PCI expansion unit to be removed "9.3 Releasing I/O Resources From a Logical Domain"
4 Confirming that you can release the PCI expansion unit to be removed (*1) "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 PCI expansion unit "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 Releasing the PCI expansion unit to be removed and the link card PCI Expansion Unit for Fujitsu SPARC M12 and Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 Service Manual
9 Removing the PCICS that houses the link card, from the SPARC M12-2S "12.3.1 Enabling the Removal of a PCIe Card"
10 Removing the link card from the PCICS "12.3.2 Removing a PCIe Card or PCIe Card Filler"
11 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"
12 Powering on the physical partition containing the SPARC M12-2S that underwent maintenance "10.9.1 Starting the System With an XSCF Command"
13 Confirming that there is no problem with the system from which the PCI expansion unit was removed "10.5.3 Checking the FRU Status After Maintenance"
14 Switching the mode switch on the OPNL to Locked "2.3.2 OPNL Control Function"
15 Checking the operating condition of the system (*1) "9.2.1 Checking the Operation Status of Physical Partitions and Logical Domains"
16 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.
