Chapter 7 Maintenance Flow
This chapter describes the maintenance workflow.
Be sure to check the notes on FRUs requiring maintenance in the Product Notes for your latest XCP version.
Check the notes on maintenance in "4.2 Precautions for Maintenance" before performing maintenance, and then proceed with your work according to the following maintenance workflow.

4-c Cold removal "7.3.2 Cold Removal"
* To perform PCIe card maintenance using PHP, confirm that the card is PHP enabled. To do so, check "Appendix B Cards That Support PCI Hot Plug and Dynamic Reconfiguration" in the Fujitsu SPARC M12 PCI Card Installation Guide or "Appendix A Cards That Support PCI Hot Plug and Dynamic Reconfiguration" in the Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 Systems PCI Card Installation Guide.

*1 Maintenance work is performed using PCI hot plug (PHP). While referring to "3.3.2 How to Check Whether PCI Hot Plug (PHP) Can be Used," check whether PHP is usable. If the setting for the direct I/O function is enabled, then maintenance with the system stopped must be performed because the PCIe card cannot use PHP.
*2 It is necessary to use PCI Hot Plug (PHP) to release the link card mounted on a destination server from the system. If the setting for the direct I/O function is enabled, then maintenance with the system stopped must be performed because the link card cannot use PHP.
*3 This is supported only for a redundant configuration.
