9.6.1 Releasing the SPARC M12-2S From the Building Block Configuration


9.6.1 Releasing the SPARC M12-2S From the Building Block Configuration
This section describes the procedure for releasing the SPARC M12-2S from the system in a building block configuration.
For the procedure for incorporating the SPARC M12-2S with a replacement unit into a building block configuration after releasing the SPARC M12-2S by using this procedure, see "10.4.1 Incorporating the SPARC M12-2S Into a Building Block Configuration."
Confirm that the XSCF of the target SPARC M12-2S is in the standby state or is the slave XSCF. If the XSCF of the SPARC M12-2S to be released is the master XSCF, switch it to the standby state with the switchscf command. For details on the command, see the Fujitsu SPARC M12 and Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 XSCF Reference Manual of the XCP version used.
In this section, power off the SPARC M12-2S requiring maintenance by using the replacefru command.
In the following example, maintenance is performed on an abnormal (Degraded) BB#0 chassis with four SPARC M12-2S units in a building block configuration.
Even in cases where the status of the SPARC M12-2S requiring maintenance is not abnormal (Degraded), perform the same procedure.
  1. Log in to the XSCF shell.
  2. Execute the replacefru command to display the maintenance menu.
XSCF> replacefru
  1. With a number key, select the FRU requiring maintenance.
    Enter "1" since BB#0 is shown as "Degraded."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maintenance/Replacement Menu
Please select the chassis including replaced FRU.

No. FRU Status
--- ------------------- --------------

1 /BB#0 Degraded
2 /BB#1 Normal
3 /BB#2 Normal
4 /BB#3 Normal
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Select [1-4|c:cancel] :1
  1. With a number key, select the FRU requiring maintenance.
    Enter "1" to release BB#0 for maintenance.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maintenance/Replacement Menu
Please select the BB or a type of FRU to be replaced.
1. BB itself (*1)

2. FAN (Fan Unit)

3. PSU (Power Supply Unit)

4. XSCFU (Extended System Control Facility Unit)

5. Crossbar cable

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Select [1-5|c:cancel] :1
*1 This cannot be done with the SPARC M12-2.
  1. With a number key, select the faulty FRU.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maintenance/Replacement Menu
Please select a FRU to be replaced.

No. FRU Status
--- ------------------- --------------

1 /BB#0 Degraded
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Select [1|b:back] :1
  1. Confirm that the FRU requiring maintenance is displayed, and then enter "r".
You are about to replace BB#0.
Do you want to continue?[r:replace|c:cancel] :r
  1. Confirm that the CHECK LED of the FRU is on or blinking.
    To release the SPARC M12-2S, confirm that the system locator is blinking.
    For the LED location, see "2.4.2 System Locator" and "2.4.3 LEDs of Each Unit."
Please execute the following steps:
1) Confirm the XSCF STANDBY LED of BB#0 is not lit.
2) Turn off the breaker of BB#0.
3) Remove BB#0.
4) Execute either the following:
4-1) After the exchanged device is connected with the system,
turn on the breaker of BB#0, and please select 'finish'.
4-2) If you want to suspend the maintenance without exchanging device,
please select 'cancel'.
[f:finish|c:cancel] :
As instructed in the above messages, confirm that the XSCF STANDBY LED of the BB#0 is off. After removing the power cord of BB#0, release the SPARC M12-2S from the building block configuration for maintenance. After connecting the cables of the SPARC M12-2S that has undergone maintenance to the building block configuration, connect the power cord. Do not enter "f" before the READY LED on the XSCFU begins to blink.
For the location of the XSCF STANDBY LED on the operation panel, see "2.4.1 OPNL LEDs."
After performing maintenance on the SPARC M12-2S, incorporate it into the building block configuration by using the procedure described in "10.4.1 Incorporating the SPARC M12-2S Into a Building Block Configuration."
