Description
Drains the memory (see "Drain" on page 26). After the drain
operation is finished, the drain button becomes the complete
button.
Completes the detach operation after the board has been fully
drained (see "Complete Detach" on page 27).
Permits you to complete the detach operation by forcibly quiescing
the domain (see "System Quiescence Operation" on page 11). If the
complete detach operation fails due to a forcible quiesce condition,
the force button is enabled.
Reconfigures device directories in a domain automatically. You may
want to run reconfig after permanently detaching a board. Use
reconfig with extreme caution (see "Reconfiguration After a DR
Operation" on page 7 for more information).
Cancels the DR operation, and returns the board to normal
operation. This button is enabled after the drain operation starts
and remains enabled until the complete detach operation starts. To
stop the draining of memory and cancel the detach, choose abort
(see "Detaching a System Board" on page 26).
Cancels any step that is in progress, and leaves the board in its
current state (In Use, drain, Present). At any point during the DR
Detach operation you can remove the DR Detach window by
choosing dismiss which terminates any work being done on the SSP
for the detach operation. Note that dismiss does not terminate work
being done on the host through RPC calls to the dr_daemon(1M).
After an RPC call is initiated, the host completes the RPC call
regardless of whether or not Hostview is waiting for the RPC call to
finish. The host dr_daemon(1M) keeps track of the progress of the
detach operation. After the drain is started, it remembers this state.
Therefore, you can dismiss the window and then return later to
either complete or abort the detach operation.
