addition added
*1 For XCP firmware versions and Oracle Solaris versions that support a system in which the SPARC64 X+
processor is mounted, see the following: "1.6 System Configuration and Software Conditions for Configuring
Physical Partitions" in the Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 Systems Domain Configuration Guide and the Fujitsu M10/
SPARC M10 Systems Product Notes for the latest XCP version.
*2 Executing the addfru command for installation automatically updates firmware to match firmware versions.
The update matches the version on the master XSCF, so we recommend updating XCP on the master XSCF to the
latest version in advance.
Notes on use of dynamic reconfiguration (DR) for the physical
partition
Note - When using the dynamic reconfiguration function for the physical partition (PPAR
DR), check the contents of "2.5 Dynamic Reconfiguration Conditions and Settings" in the
Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 Systems Domain Configuration Guide beforehand.
When incorporating a system board (PSB) into a physical partition with the
■
addboard command
The addboard command with the -c configure option specified cannot incorporate
a system board (PSB) into a physical partition where the PPAR DR function is
disabled. Execute the setpparmode command beforehand to set the PPAR DR
setting to "on".
Important - Be sure to save the logical domain configuration information before changing the
PPAR DR mode setting.
When executing the setpparmode command to change the PPAR DR mode setting from
"disable" to "enable" or vice versa, you must reset the physical partition to reflect the setting.
This reset restores the logical domain configuration information to factory-default. Since the
logical domain configuration information that has been saved beforehand is required for
reconfiguration of the logical domain, be sure to save the data before changing the PPAR DR
mode setting. For details on how to save and restore logical domain configuration
information, see "1.7.3 How to save/restore the logical domain configuration information
and the OpenBoot PROM environment variable" in the PCI Expansion Unit for Fujitsu
M10/SPARC M10 Systems Service Manual.
When adding a system board (PSB) on which the SPARC64 X processor is
■
mounted in auto mode
When the CPU operational mode is set to "auto" mode, an attempt to add a
SPARC64 X-mounted system board (PSB) to a SPARC64 X+-mounted system by
using dynamic reconfiguration (DR) fails because SPARC64 X+ functions are being
used for operation.
When adding the system board by using dynamic reconfiguration (DR), set the
CPU operational mode to "compatible" mode beforehand.
For details on the change procedure, see "2.6.2 CPU operational mode settings"
