Points Of Concern During Removal - Fujitsu M10 Installation Manual

In the above figures, "BB" indicates the SPARC M10-4S and "XBBOX" indicates a
crossbar box.
Pattern Removal description
A Removal of the SPARC M10-4S mounted in an expansion rack
Example:
From the 16BB configuration to the 14BB configuration, and from the
8BB configuration to the 6BB configuration
B (1) Removal of the SPARC M10-4S with direct connections between chassis
Example:
From the 4BB configuration to the 3BB configuration, and from the 4BB
configuration to the 2BB configuration
B (2) Release of the connections between the chassis in an existing multiple-BB
configuration (direct connections between chassis) to change every
chassis to the 1BB configuration
Example:
From the 4BB configuration to the 1BB configuration
C Removal of expansion rack 2, and decrease of the number of SPARC
M10-4S units to four or less
Example:
From the 16BB configuration (connections through crossbar boxes) to the
4BB configuration (connections through crossbar boxes)

Points of concern during removal

Before removing the SPARC M10-4S, check the following items, which are points of
concern.
If you stop a PPAR and remove the SPARC M10-4S belonging to the PPAR, logical
■
domain configuration information is switched to factory-default the next time that
the PPAR is powered on.
In that case, reconfigure the logical domains by referring to the logical domain
configuration information in the XML file saved at the system configuration time.
Multiple SPARC M10-4S units cannot be released from the system by using the
■
initbb command at the same time. Do this work on one unit at a time.
The serial number of the chassis of either the master XSCF or standby XSCF is
■
used as the system serial number. If the serial number of the standby chassis is
being used as the system serial number, the initbb command cannot release the
standby chassis. In this case, execute the switchscf command to switch the master
XSCF.
For the initialization of the chassis of the master XSCF, perform that work at the
■
end.
Execute the restoredefaults -c factory command to return to the factory defaults,
including the CPU Activation key information. Perform this work with a serial
connection to the master XSCF.
For XCP 2041 or later, execute the restoredefaults -c factory -r activation command.
