8.3.1 Confirming the reduction pattern


8.3.1 Confirming the reduction pattern
Figure 8-3 shows the reduction patterns of building block configurations. The necessary tasks vary depending on the reduction pattern. Check which pattern applies to your case. For details on system configurations, see the Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 Systems Quick Guide.
Remarks - For reduction patterns not described here, contact a sales representative.

Table 8-4  Reduction patterns and references
Pattern Reduction description Reference
A Removal of the SPARC M10-4S mounted in an expansion rack
Example:
From the 16BB configuration to the 14BB configuration, and from the 8BB configuration to the 6BB configuration
"10.2 Removing the SPARC M10-4S"
B (1) Removal of the SPARC M10-4S with direct connections between chassis
Example:
From the 4BB configuration to the 3BB configuration, and from the 4BB configuration to the 2BB configuration
"10.2 Removing the SPARC M10-4S"
B (2) Release of the connections between the chassis in an existing multiple-BB configuration (direct connections between chassis) to change every chassis to the 1BB configuration
Example:
From the 4BB configuration to the 1BB configuration
"10.2.3 Removing the server after stopping all the physical partitions (PPARs)"
C Removal of expansion rack 2, and decrease of the number of SPARC M10-4S units to four or less
Example:
From the 16BB configuration (connections through crossbar boxes) to the 4BB configuration (connections through crossbar boxes)
"10.3 Removal of Expansion Rack 2, and Decrease of the Number of SPARC M10-4S Units to Four or Less"
