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 M10-1 has the following patterns:
System-stopped/hot replacement (for a power supply unit or fan unit)
System-stopped/hot replacement can be performed on a power supply unit/fan unit. Perform the following procedure to replace the unit.

*1 Simultaneous replacement of the motherboard unit and PSU backplane is prohibited. To replace the motherboard unit and PSU backplane, 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 a faulty FRU," and replace the other unit.
*2 If the motherboard unit is replaced in a system with a hardware RAID volume in a hardware RAID configuration using internal disks, 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 M10/SPARC M10 Systems Product Notes for the latest XCP version.
