6.6 Incorporating an Internal Disk


6.6 Incorporating an Internal Disk
This section describes the procedure (workflow) for incorporating an internal disk by using the hot plug function.
To use the hot plug function, the hotplug service of Oracle Solaris needs to be enabled. Check the status of the service. If it is disabled, enable the hotplug service in the following procedure. The hot plug function is available only on the control domain and root domain.
# svcs hotplug ← If the STATE is disabled, enable the service.
# svcadm enable hotplug ← Enables the hotplug service.
For details on the cfgadm command used here, see "2 Dynamically Configuring Devices" in the Managing Devices in Oracle Solaris 11.2 or "Dynamically Configuring Devices (Tasks)" in the Oracle Solaris Administration: Devices and File Systems.
  1. Log in as a super user to Oracle Solaris on the logical domain (control domain or root domain) into which the target internal disk is to be incorporated.
  2. If the hotplug service is disabled for the logical domain (control domain or root domain) into which the target internal disk is to be incorporated, execute the svcadm enable command to enable the hotplug service.
# svcadm enable hotplug
  1. Execute the cfgadm command to check the status of the incorporated internal disk.
    With the cfgadm -al command, confirm that Ap_ID of the replacement internal disk has been changed.
    Confirm that Occupant shows "configured." If it does not show "configured," perform step 4.
# cfgadm -al
Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition
<Omitted>
c2 scsi-sas connected configured unknown
c2::dsk/c2t50000394281B50C6d0 disk connected configured unknown
c2::es/ses0 ESI connected configured unknown
c2::smp/expd0 smp connected configured unknown
c3 scsi-sas connected unconfigured unknown
c4 scsi-sas connected unconfigured unknown
c5 fc connected unconfigured unknown
c6 fc connected unconfigured unknown
c7 scsi-sas connected unconfigured unknown
<Omitted>
  1. If the system does not recognize the incorporated internal disk, make it recognized in the system.
    a. Execute the cfgadm -c configure command to incorporate the target internal disk into the logical domain.
# cfgadm -c configure Ap_Id
  1. b. With the cfgadm -al command, check the status of the internal disk.
  1. If the CHECK LED on the mounted internal disk is not off, execute the cfgadm -x command to turn off the CHECK LED on that internal disk.
# cfgadm -x led=fault,mode=off Ap_Id
  1. If you have enabled the hotplug service, execute the svcadm disable command to disable the hotplug service.
# svcadm disable hotplug
  1. Assign the I/O device of the incorporated internal disk to the logical domain.
    To configure the hardware RAID by adding a new internal disk, see "14.2 Configuring Hardware RAID" in the Fujitsu SPARC M12 and Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 System Operation and Administration Guide.
