7.1.2 Cold Replacement


7.1.2 Cold Replacement
This section describes the cold replacement workflow.
References to detailed descriptions are written in the work procedure tables. See any of them as required.
Cold replacement work varies depending on the method of releasing the link card mounted on the destination server. The following are the work patterns.
Cold Replacement (Releasing the Link Card After Stopping the System)
Cold replacement can be performed for all the FRUs mounted on the PCI expansion unit after stopping the system to which the PCI expansion unit is connected. This operation can be done when the connection destination of the PCI expansion unit is the SPARC M12-1/M12-2/M12-2S/M10-1/M10-4/M10-4S.

Cold Replacement (Releasing the Link Card Using PHP)
Cold replacement can be performed for all the FRUs mounted on the PCI expansion unit after releasing the link card mounted on the destination server from the system using PCI hot plug (PHP). This can be done only when the connection destination of the PCI expansion unit is the SPARC M12-2/M12-2S/M10-4/M10-4S and the setting for the direct I/O function is disabled.

Cold Replacement (Releasing the Link Card Using DR)
Cold maintenance can be performed for all the FRUs mounted on the PCI expansion unit after releasing the chassis in which the link card is mounted from the system using physical partition dynamic reconfiguration (DR). This can be done only when the connection destination of the PCI expansion unit has the building block configuration of the SPARC M12-2S/M10-4S.
