DISPATCH INSTRUCTIONS

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

Time Estimate: 60 minutes

Task Complexity: 0

REMOVAL/REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS:

PROBLEM OVERVIEW: Blade related failure

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

The customer should conduct an orderly software system shutdown using "[clia] deactivate" command from ShMM.  The blud LED (How-Swap) should be light up and solid.

WHAT ACTIONS ARE REQUIRED?:

Preparation: This action plan may require the use of a coin cell battery. The coin cell battery should be retrieved from your personal stock of coin cell batteries. If you cannot readily obtain the correct quantity of these batteries, please contact dispatch to arrange for order.
0.  Be sure also to purchase the battery (150-2850, BR/CR 1632 3V)
    NOTE: A list of battery: https://mosemp.us.oracle.com/handbook_internal/Devices/Miscellaneous/MISC_Batteries.html
    NOTE: The battery should be purchased by FE --- See Global Systems TSC communication dated 10/12/12 (https://mosemp.us.oracle.com/handbook_internal/Systems/common-docs/tsc_battery_comm.html)

1.  Obtain correct value of "boot-device" OBP parameter or any needed ones
2.  Able to upgrade/downgrade SysFW to a desired level

1) Remove Blade

0.  Verify that you have taken the necessary antistatic precautions
1.  Disconnect all cables connecting to front panel if any
1a. Label and make sure cable could be restored properly
2.  Unscrew top and buttom locking screws
3.  Slid UP buttom latch and pull it out slightly
3a. Make sure blue LED (Hot-Swap) is light up and solid before proceed to next step
4.  Slightly open up top latch
5.  Hold onto both top and bottom latches and open them fully
5a. Blade should be disengaged with backplane and slided out about approx. one inch
6.  Pull out entire blade

2) Staging Blade

0.  Verify that you have taken the necessary antistatic precautions
1.  Move AMC card from pulled-out blade to new one if any
2.  Move CF card from pulled-out blade to new one if any
3.  Move DIMMs from pulled-out blade to new one
4.  Replace battery to new one

3) Install Blade

0.  Verify that you have taken necessary antistatic precautions
1.  Opening injector/ejector latches
2.  Carefully align edges of blade with card guides in appropriate slot
3.  Taking care to keep blade aligned in guides, slide blade in until injector/ejector latches engage card cage
4.  Push blade slightly into midplane connectors, and then close latches to seat blade in connectors
5.  Tighten the locking screws to ensure blade is secured into shelf
6.  Connect the cables back to the front panel

4) Change the ILOM time

1. Set Oracle ILOM clock to synchronize with a primary NTP server:  -> set /SP/clients/ntp/server/1 address=ntpIPaddress
2. Wait for ILOM to sync up with NTP clock (should occurred within 2 hours as SysFW 3.2 is set to update time each hour)
3. When the time is set correctly, disable NTP as needed
4. Please refer to the following doc on why NTP is used: ILOM based SPARC Server's Solaris Clock Initialization During Boot (Doc ID 1929967.1)

OBTAIN CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE

WHAT ACTIONS ARE REQUIRED TO RETURN THE SYSTEM TO AN OPERATIONAL STATE:
1.  Upgrade/Downgrade SysFW to desired level
2.  Set "boot-device" or other OBP parameters to correct value
3.  Follow steps in "Users Guide" of the CP3x0 blade to boot up the blade
