7.2.2 System-Stopped Replacement


7.2.2 System-Stopped Replacement
This section describes the workflows for system-stopped/hot and system-stopped/cold FRU replacement. References to detailed descriptions are written in the workflow. See any of them as required.
Note - If the XSCF startup mode is high-speed mode, hardware cannot be replaced using the replacefru command. Replace hardware by performing system-stopped/cold replacement.
System-stopped replacement on the SPARC M12-1 has the following patterns:
System-stopped/hot replacement (PSU and FANU)
System-stopped/hot replacement can be performed on a PSU and FANU. Perform the following procedure to replace the unit.

*1 Simultaneous replacement of the MBU and PSUBP is prohibited. To replace the MBU and PSUBP, first replace either of the units and perform the work up to "10. Confirming that there is no problem with the replacement FRU." Then, return to "6. Replacing the faulty FRU," and replace the other unit.
*2 If the motherboard unit is replaced in a system with internal storage used in a RAID volume configuration for a hardware RAID, you need to reactivate the hardware RAID volume before performing the work in "12. Starting the system." For details, see "14.2.11 Re-enabling a Hardware RAID Volume" in the Fujitsu SPARC M12 and Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 System Operation and Administration Guide.
*3 For details, see "Notes on Maintenance of a CPU Memory Unit, Motherboard Unit, XSCF Unit, PSU Backplane, or Crossbar Backplane Unit" in the Fujitsu SPARC M12 Product Notes for the latest XCP version.
