3.1 Types of Maintenance Supported by the SPARC M12-1


3.1 Types of Maintenance Supported by the SPARC M12-1
The types of maintenance supported by the SPARC M12-1 depend on the system operation status during maintenance. The supported maintenance is divided into two types: active maintenance and system-stopped (inactive) maintenance.
  1. Active maintenance
    Type of maintenance performed while Oracle Solaris is operating
  2. System-stopped maintenance (inactive maintenance)
    Type of maintenance performed with the physical partition stopped
    The SPARC M12-1 has only one physical partition. Thus, the state in which the physical partition requiring maintenance is stopped is the same as the state in which the entire system is stopped.
Each of the above two maintenance types is divided into two further types: hot maintenance and cold maintenance.
  1. Hot maintenance
    Type of maintenance performed with the power cords connected to the SPARC M12-1 requiring maintenance
  2. Cold maintenance
    Type of maintenance performed with the power cords removed from the SPARC M12-1 requiring maintenance
