9.7 Removing the SPARC M12-2S


9.7 Removing the SPARC M12-2S
Note - When removing the SPARC M12-2S due to a change in the building block configuration, be sure to perform the procedure described below.
This section describes the procedure for releasing the SPARC M12-2S from a building block configuration.
Before removing the SPARC M12-2S, make sure that it is not assigned to any physical partition.
For details on the commands used here, see the Fujitsu SPARC M12 and Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 XSCF Reference Manual of the XCP version used.
  1. Log in to the master XSCF.
    After logging in to the XSCF shell, you can check whether it is in the master state, by using the showbbstatus command.
XSCF> showbbstatus
BB#00 (Master) ←(*1)
XSCF>
*1 If the XSCF you have logged in to is in the standby state, Standby is displayed.
  1. Check the status of the target SPARC M12-2S.
    Log in to the master XSCF, and check that the target SPARC M12-2S is not used.
XSCF> showboards -a -v
PSB R PPAR-ID(LSB) Assignment Pwr Conn Conf Test Fault
---- - ------------ ----------- ---- ---- ---- ------- --------

00-0 00(00) Assigned y y y Passed Normal
01-0 00(01) Assigned y y y Passed Normal
02-0 SP Available n n n Passed Normal ←(*1)
XSCF>
*1 If Available or Unavailable is not displayed under Assignment, release the PSB from the physical partition.
  1. Delete the CPU Activation key.
    Delete the CPU Activation key of the target SPARC M12-2S.
    Regarding CPU resources assigned to logical domains, release from the logical domains the assignment of as many CPU resources as the number of CPU Activation keys to be deleted. After that, delete the CPU Activation keys.
    For details, see "Chapter 5 CPU Activation" in the Fujitsu SPARC M12 and Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 System Operation and Administration Guide.
  1. Release the SPARC M12-2S from the building block configuration.
XSCF> initbb -b 2
You are about to initialize BB/XB-Box.
NOTE the following.

1. BB/XB-Box is exclueded from the system and halted.
2. PPAR-ID of the same value as BB-ID becomes invalid.

  1. Check that the LEDs of the released SPARC M12-2S are off.
    Wait for the READY, CHECK, and MASTER LEDs on the XSCFU to turn off. (Approx. 10 minutes)
    For the LEDs on the XSCFU, see "Figure 2-11."
  1. Check the status of the building block configuration.
    Check that the released SPARC M12-2S is not displayed.

  1. Disconnect the power cord, crossbar cable, XSCF BB control cable, and XSCF DUAL control cable.
    Disconnect all the cables connected to the locations enclosed in dotted lines.
    Note that, when the XSCFU is the slave XSCF, the XSCF DUAL control cable is not connected.

  1. Set the BB-ID of the released SPARC M12-2S.
    To release the SPARC M12-2S and use it as another system, set the BB-ID as appropriate for the system configuration.
    For the position of the BB-ID switch, see Figure 2-8.
