9.4.2 Dynamically Releasing the HDD/SSD From a Logical Domain


9.4.2 Dynamically Releasing the HDD/SSD From a Logical Domain
This section describes the procedure for enabling the removal of an HDD/SSD from the SPARC M12 by using the PCI Hot Plug function.
To remove an HDD/SSD composing the RAID volumes using the hardware RAID function of the SPARC M12, this procedure is not required.
Note - When the target HDD/SSD has a RAID volume configuration generated by software, you need to enable the release of the HDD/SSD from the Oracle Solaris device configuration. Before releasing the HDD/SSD from the Oracle Solaris device configuration, be sure to see the manual for the software or application being used.
Table 9-10 lists the procedure for dynamically releasing an HDD/SSD.

3 Checking the mounting location of the target HDD/SSD (Ap_Id) primary domain

5 Confirming that you can remove the target HDD/SSD primary domain

6 Having the CHECK LED (amber) of the HDD/SSD released from the Oracle Solaris device configuration blink (*3) (*4) primary domain

7 (*5)
 Turning off the CHECK LED primary domain
Root domain		 # cfgadm -x led=fault,mode=off <‌Ap_Id>‌
*1 When using only one SPARC M12-2 or SPARC M12-2S, skip this operation.
*2 Check the device path of the target HDD/SSD and the LSB number of the SPARC M12-2S that houses the HDD/SSD, according to "Appendix A Lists of SPARC M12/M10 System Device Paths" in the Fujitsu SPARC M12 and Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 System Operation and Administration Guide.
*3 Before removing the HDD/SSD, confirm that the CHECK LED (amber) is blinking.
*4‍ When removing a hard disk, pull it out slightly from its slot, wait for 10 seconds, and then remove it from the slot.
*5 When replacing the HDD/SSD, incorporate it into the Oracle Solaris device configuration and then turn off the CHECK LED. For details, see Table 2-22.
The following example executes the commands for enabling the removal of an HDD/SSD by using the PCI Hot Plug function.
Confirming the HDD/SSD to be released
[Oracle Solaris 11 with SRU 11.4.27.82.1 or later applied]
  1. Use the diskinfo command to check the device pathname and BB-ID.

  1. Check the device path of the target HDD/SSD. (Take this step only for a building block configuration connecting two or more SPARC M12-2S units.)
    The following example assumes that the user logs in to Oracle Solaris on the control domain and identifies the device path from the logical device name of the HDD/SSD. Write down the character string (three or four characters) in the "****" part of ".../****_HDDxx/..." contained in the identified device path.

  1. Check the BB-ID of the SPARC M12-2S that houses the target HDD/SSD. (Take this step only for a building block configuration connecting two or more SPARC M12-2S units.)
    The following example assumes that the user logs in to the XSCF shell and checks for a SPARC M12-2S BB-ID where the character string written down in step 1 matches the last four digits of the CMUL serial number. If the character string written down in step 1 consists of three characters, add "0" at the beginning of the character string to make it four characters long for matching purposes.
