DISPATCH INSTRUCTIONS

WHAT SKILLS ARE REQUIRED?: No special skills required, Customer Replaceable Unit (CRU) procedure

TIME ESTIMATE:  20 minutes

TASK COMPLEXITY: 0

REMOVAL/REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS:

PROBLEM OVERVIEW:

PCI Card has failed

   WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE RESOLUTION ACTIVITY?:

Active/hot maintenance

Maintenance work is performed while the physical partition remains turned on and the input power of the cabinet on which the target Customer Replaceable Unit (CRU) is mounted and on (power cord is connected). Active/hot maintenance can be performed only on CRUs that have the redundant configuration or can use the PCI Hotplug (PHP) function.

Inactive/cold maintenance

Maintenance work is performed while the physical partition to which the maintenance-target CRU belongs is powered off and the input power of the cabinet on which the target CRU is mounted is off (power cord is disconnected)

System-stopped maintenance

Maintenance work is performed while all the physical partitions are powered off and input power of the cabinet on which the target CRU is mounted is off (power cord is disconnected).

   WHAT ACTION DOES THE FIELD ENGINEER/ADMINISTRATOR NEED TO TAKE?:

The steps to replace a PCI card are as follows;

For cold replacement:

1. Conduct an orderly shutdown of the system software and the PPAR

             XSCF>  poweroff -p 0

2. Verify the ppar has been shutdown with

         XSCF> showboards -a

3. Check that the POWER LEDs on all cabinets composing the ppar are off.
4. Display the maintenance menu (user must have fieldeng privileges)
    XSCF> replacefru
5. Select the maintenance-target cabinet
6. Remove cables connected to the maintenance-target PCI card.
7. Press latch on PCI Cartridge down and pull cartridge out.
8. Remove PCI card from cartridge by unscrewing the top screw and removing the PCI Card.
9. Install the new PCI card
10. Execute the testsb command to confirm that the maintenance-target PCI card is recognized normally.
When you input optional "-y" for the testsb command, the system automatically answers "y" (yes) to an inquiry.
The following example diagnoses the system board "00-0."

XSCF> testsb -v -p -s 00-0

For hot replacement:

1. Log in to the XSCF shell.
2. Execute the showboards command to confirm the physical partition that the maintenance will be done on.
3. Stop the guest domain that is virtually using the maintenance-target PCI card.
For details, see "3.2.5 Shutting down logical domain" in the SPARC M10 System Operation and Administration Guide.
4. console into the ppar as the super-user.
5. Execute the svcadm(1M) command to activate the hotplug service.
# svcadm enable hotplug
6. Execute the cfgadm(1M) command to release the maintenance-target PCI card from the logical domain.
# cfgadm -c unconfigure Ap_Id
7. Execute the cfgadm(1M) command to stop power supply to the maintenance-target PCI card.
# cfgadm -c disconnect Ap_Id
8. Execute the cfgadm(1M) command to blink the ATTENTION LED of the maintenance-target PCI card cassette.
# cfgadm -x led=attn,mode=blink Ap_Id
9. Replace the PCI Card
10. Execute the cfgadm(1M) command to start power supply to the maintenance-target PCI card.
# cfgadm -c connect Ap_Id
11. Execute the cfgadm -c configure command to incorporate the maintenance-target PCI card into the logical domain.
# cfgadm -c configure Ap_Id
12. Execute the cfgadm(1M) command to confirm that the maintenance-target PCI card is incorporated into the logical domain.
cfgadm -a
13.  Start the stopped domain.

WHAT ACTION ARE NEEDED TO RETURN THE SYSTEM TO AN OPERATIONAL STATE:

Check for full functionality. Card Specific - Refer to specific PCI Card manuals for additional steps as needed.
