9.3.1 Active Reduction


9.3.1 Active Reduction
This section describes the method of reducing while the target physical partition (PPAR) is running. Do this work by following the reference procedures.
Note - If the serial number of the chassis targeted for reduction is being used as the system serial number, the initbb command cannot be used to release the chassis. In this case, execute the switchscf command to switch the master XSCF.
Table 9-2  Active Reduction Flow
Procedure Work Description Reference  
1 Confirm the flow of active reduction work.   Required
2 Confirm the running status of the system from the master XSCF. "9.2.1 Checking the Operation Status of Physical Partitions and Logical Domains" in the Fujitsu SPARC M12-2/M12-2S Service Manual Required
3 Check the I/O device usage status of the SPARC M12-2S to be removed. "9.2.2 Checking the Assignment Status of I/O Devices" in the Fujitsu SPARC M12-2/M12-2S Service Manual Required
4 Check the HDD/SSD usage status of the SPARC M12-2S to be removed. "9.2.3 Checking the Usage of the HDD/SSD" in the Fujitsu SPARC M12-2/M12-2S Service Manual Required

12 Release the SPARC M12-2S from the physical partition. "9.4.3 Dynamically Releasing the SPARC M12-2S From the Physical Partition" in the Fujitsu SPARC M12-2/M12-2S Service Manual Required
13 Confirm the system running status. "9.2.1 Checking the Operation Status of Physical Partitions and Logical Domains" in the Fujitsu SPARC M12-2/M12-2S Service Manual Required
14 Confirm the system running status after the release of SPARC M12-2S. "9.2.1 Checking the Operation Status of Physical Partitions and Logical Domains" in the Fujitsu SPARC M12-2/M12-2S Service Manual Required (*1)
15 Save the logical domain configuration information. "9.1.1 Saving Logical Domain Configuration Information" in the Fujitsu SPARC M12-2/M12-2S Service Manual Required
16 Turn the OPNL mode switch to Service mode. "2.11 Checking the Functions of the Operation Panel" Required
17 Release the SPARC M12-2S to be removed, from the building block configuration. "9.7 Removing the SPARC M12-2S" in the Fujitsu SPARC M12-2/M12-2S Service Manual Required (*2)(*4)
18 Turn the OPNL mode switch to Locked mode. "2.11 Checking the Functions of the Operation Panel" Required
19 Remove the chassis targeted for reduction. When removing from the rack, follow the reverse procedure of mounting. "3.4.1 Mounting the SPARC M12-2S in a Rack" Required (*3)(*4)
*1 Set the logical domains again as necessary. For details, see the Fujitsu SPARC M12 and Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 Domain Configuration Guide.

*2 Before executing the initbb command, you need to confirm the chassis serial number from the system board to be released by executing the showhardconf command.

*3 The removed SPARC M12-2S will be at the factory default status after the execution of the initbb command. If you want to use it as another system, see "1.1 Workflows for the SPARC M12-2S" to perform installation.

*4 To disconnect expansion rack 2, it is necessary to remove the cables interconnecting the racks. In addition, disconnect expansion rack 1 and expansion rack 2 if necessary.
