15.3.2 Removing a Physical I/O Device From an I/O Domain


15.3.2 Removing a Physical I/O Device From an I/O Domain
This section describes the procedure for removing a physical I/O device from an I/O domain by using the dynamic reconfiguration function for PCIe endpoint devices.
  1. Cancel the physical I/O physical I/O setting on the I/O domain.
    Before the removal of the physical I/O device can be enabled, the physical I/O device setting on the I/O domain must be canceled.
    The procedure for making this setting varies depending on the Oracle Solaris version of the target I/O domain, and the physical I/O device. For details, see the following Oracle Solaris related manuals.

  1. Remove the physical I/O device from the I/O domain.
# ldm remove-io device io_domain
  1. To perform active maintenance of the PCIe card by using PCI hot plug (PHP), etc., reassign the physical I/O device removed in step 2 to the root domain.
# ldm add-io device root_domain
