Appendix B Cards That Support PCI Hot Plug and Dynamic Reconfiguration
This appendix describes cards that support PCI Hot Plug and dynamic reconfiguration.
The SPARC M12 on-board PCI slots and the PCI expansion unit support active replacement and active addition of PCI cards using PCI Hot Plug (PHP).
The SPARC M12 supports the physical partition dynamic reconfiguration (DR) function. If a card that does not support the dynamic reconfiguration (DR) function is mounted in a physical partition, the physical partition cannot be dynamically reconfigured. In that case, perform replacement or maintenance in the inactive state.
Table B-1 lists the PHP/DR supporting cards that have Fujitsu product IDs. Table B-2 lists the PHP/DR supporting cards that have Oracle product IDs.

*1 The suspend/resume processing time means the time required for the suspend/resume processing per PCI card. Calculate the total suspend/resume processing time for the PCI cards to be used.
*2 Supported by Oracle Solaris 11.2 SRU 11.2.2.8.0 and later and Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 150400-18 and later.
*3 Add up the suspend/resume processing time for all the PCI cards mounted in the PCI expansion unit.
*4 In a configuration that uses this card to assign SR-IOV (VF), DR is restricted.
*5 In a configuration that uses this card to assign SR-IOV (VF), DR (active replacement) is restricted.
*6 In 2x40 mode or 2x2x10 mode, the root domain must be restarted because the QCU tool is used to switch modes.
*7 To use the Ethernet function (qlcnic driver) in Oracle Solaris 10, apply patch 149167-07 or later.
*8 When the suspend/resume processing occurs as the port is being linked up, it takes about 3 seconds with a 1-port card and about 5 seconds with a 2-port card.
*9 The processing time for each card is 10 seconds in Oracle Solaris 11.3 or later and Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 149173-06 or later.
*10 Immediately after active addition of the PCI expansion unit, active addition of this card using PHP to the PCI expansion unit is not possible.
*11 Active addition and active replacement of the PCI expansion unit are not possible.
*12 Supported by Oracle Solaris 11.3 and later.
