7.2.1 Active replacement


7.2.1 Active replacement
This section describes the workflows for active/hot FRU replacement. References to detailed descriptions are written in the work procedure tables. 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.
Active replacement on the SPARC M10-1 has the following patterns:
Active/hot replacement (for a power supply unit or fan unit)
Active/hot replacement can be performed on a power supply unit/fan unit. Perform the following procedure to replace the unit.

Item Work procedure Reference
1 Opening the rack door  
2 Checking the operating condition of the system "5.3.1 Checking the operating condition of the physical partition or logical domain"
3 Releasing a faulty FRU from the system "5.7 Releasing a FRU from the System with the replacefru Command"
4 Replacing a faulty FRU "Chapter 11 Maintaining the Power Supply Units"
"Chapter 15 Maintaining the Fan Units"
5 Incorporating the replacement FRU into the system "6.2 Incorporating a FRU into the System with the replacefru Command"
6 Confirming that there is no problem with the replacement FRU "6.7 Checking the FRU Status after Maintenance"

Active/hot replacement (for an internal disk in a RAID configuration)
Active/hot replacement can be performed on an internal disk. If the internal disk is in a RAID configuration, perform the following procedure to replace it.
