9.4 Enabling the Removal of Hardware


9.4 Enabling the Removal of Hardware
This section describes the procedure for releasing an I/O device from the Oracle Solaris device configuration and enabling the removal of the I/O device from the SPARC M12 while Oracle Solaris is operating.
For details on the cfgadm command used here, see "Dynamically Configuring Devices" in the Managing Devices in Oracle Solaris for the Oracle Solaris version used.
When using the cfgadm command, log in to Oracle Solaris with administrative authority on the control domain or root domain. When using the PCI Hot Plug function, confirm that the hotplug service of Oracle Solaris is enabled.
Note - When using the PCI Hot Plug function, confirm that the target PCIe card supports the PCI Hot Plug function. For details, see "Appendix B Cards That Support PCI Hot Plug and Dynamic Reconfiguration" in the Fujitsu SPARC M12 PCI Card Installation Guide.
