partition (PPAR) returns to the factory-default state at the next start time. Furthermore,
the OpenBoot PROM environment variables of the control domain are initialized for
any guest domains in the logical domain configuration.
In a configuration with the PCI expansion unit connected, the firmware is updated
■
from XCP 2043 or earlier to XCP 2044 or later.
The PCI expansion unit is installed in or removed from a system with the
■
firmware XCP 2044 or later.
Save the logical domain configuration information from Oracle Solaris to XML in
advance. Execute the ldm list-constraints -x command to save it to XML, and execute
the ldm init-system -i command to restore it from XML. Also, keep a note of the
setting information for the OpenBoot PROM environment variables of the control
domain in advance to set them again. To display the information, execute the
printenv command at the ok prompt. For detailed procedures, 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.
The following table outlines the required work for saving/restoring each type of
information related to the PCI expansion unit configuration.

SPARC M10-4/M10-4S
If you install SPARC M10-4S together with a PCI expansion unit connected to it, keep
the following points in mind.
Pull out all the PCIe cassettes with the PCIe card for the PCI expansion unit to be
■
installed. After incorporating the link card into the server, attach the pulled-out
PCIe cassette to the PCI expansion unit. Then use the PHP to incorporate the link
card into the server.
Before installation, execute the ldm list-constraints -x command to save the
■
configuration information of the logical domains in an XML file. In the unlikely
event that the logical domain configuration resets to the factory-default state as a
result of restarting the physical partition, execute the ldm init-system -i command
to restore the configuration information of the logical domains from the XML file.
If you execute the setpciboxdio command to set the enabling/disabling setting of
■
the direct I/O function of the PCI expansion unit, perform it before you execute the
addboard command to install it on the physical partition.
When you have changed the setting of the direct I/O function with the setpciboxdio
■
command, do not restart the logical domains until you execute the ldm add-
