6.4.5 Inactive/Cold Removal Workflow of the PCI Expansion Unit
6.4.5 Inactive/Cold Removal Workflow of the PCI Expansion Unit
You can perform inactive/cold removal of a PCI expansion unit in the following configuration:
- Building block configuration where two or more physical partitions are operating
Table 6-17 shows the workflow for inactive/cold removal 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 | Releasing the assignment of the I/O resources of the PCIe cards mounted in the PCI expansion unit to be removed | "9.3 Releasing I/O Resources From a Logical Domain" |
3 | Confirming that you can remove the PCIe cards mounted in the PCI expansion unit 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 is connected to the PCI expansion unit 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 connected to the PCI expansion unit to be removed, from the building block configuration | "9.6.1 Releasing the SPARC M12-2S From the Building Block Configuration" |
8 | Releasing the PCI expansion unit to be removed and the link card | "11.3 Removing a Link Cable" in the PCI Expansion Unit for Fujitsu SPARC M12 and Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 Service Manual |
9 | Removing the PCICS in which the link card is mounted 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 | Incorporating the SPARC M12-2S from which the PCI expansion unit was removed into the building block configuration | "10.4.1 Incorporating the SPARC M12-2S Into a Building Block Configuration" |
13 | Powering on the physical partition containing the SPARC M12-2S that underwent maintenance | "10.9.1 Starting the System With an XSCF Command" |
14 | 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" |
15 | Switching the mode switch on the OPNL to Locked | "2.3.2 OPNL Control Function" |
16 | 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" |
17 | 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. |
