  9. 6.4.1 Inactive/Cold Removal Workflow of a PCIe Card

6.4.1 Inactive/Cold Removal Workflow of a PCIe Card


6.4.1 Inactive/Cold Removal Workflow of a PCIe Card
You can perform inactive/cold removal of a PCIe card in the following configuration:
  1. Configuration connecting two or more SPARC M12-2S units to a physical partition
Before removing a PCIe card, see "Precautions for PCIe card removal" in "7.3 Precautions for FRU Reduction."
Table 6-13 shows the workflow for inactive/cold removal of a PCIe card.
Table 6-13  Inactive/Cold Removal 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 Releasing the assignment of the I/O resources of the PCIe card to be removed "9.3 Releasing I/O Resources From a Logical Domain"
3 Confirming that you can remove the PCIe card to be removed (*1) "9.2.1 Checking the Operation Status of Physical Partitions and Logical Domains"
4 Saving logical domain configuration information "9.1.1 Saving Logical Domain Configuration Information"
5 Powering off the physical partition containing the SPARC M12-2S that houses the PCIe card to be removed "9.5.1 Stopping a Specific Physical Partition"
6 Switching the mode switch on the OPNL to Service "2.3.2 OPNL Control Function"
7 Releasing the SPARC M12-2S that houses the PCIe card to be removed, from the building block configuration "9.6.1 Releasing the SPARC M12-2S From the Building Block Configuration"
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 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 Incorporating the SPARC M12-2S from which the PCIe card was removed into the building block configuration "10.4.1 Incorporating the SPARC M12-2S Into a Building Block Configuration"
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 PCIe card 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 physical partition and logical domains (*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 Reconfigure logical domains as required. For details, see "Chapter 3 Operations for Domain Configuration" in the Fujitsu SPARC M12 and Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 Domain Configuration Guide. If you have reconfigured a logical domain, save the logical domain configuration information.
