Notes On Configurations With A Pci Expansion Unit Connected - Fujitsu M10 Product Notes

Notes on configurations with a PCI expansion unit
connected
[SPARC M10-1]
■
If one of the following cases, the logical domain configuration of physical
partitions (PPARs) is restored to the factory-default state at the next startup.
Moreover, when there is a guest domain in the logical domain configuration, the
OpenBoot PROM environment variable is initialized.
- Firmware of version XCP 2043 or earlier is updated to that of XCP 2044 or later
in a configuration with a PCI expansion unit connected.
- A PCI expansion unit is added to or removed from a system with firmware of
XCP 2044 or later.
Save the logical domain configuration information to an XML file from Oracle
Solaris in advance. Execute the ldm list-constraints -x command to save the logical
domain configuration information to an XML file. Execute the ldm init-system -i
command to restore the logical domain configuration information from an XML
file. Make a note of the OpenBoot PROM environment variable setting information
for the control domain beforehand so that you can subsequently reconfigure it.
To display the information, execute the printenv command in the ok prompt. For
details of these procedures, see "1.7.2 How to save the configuration information
and the OpenBoot PROM environment variable in the logical domain and
subsequently restore them" in the PCI Expansion Unit for Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10
Systems Service Manual.
If you need to save/restore information related to the PCI expansion unit
configuration, see the information in the following table.

If either of the tasks is performed with the setpciboxdio(8) command, using
firmware of version XCP 2044 or later for the SPARC M10-4 or version XCP 2050
or later for the SPARC M10-4S, the logical domain configuration of the physical
partitions (PPARs) is restored to the factory default at the next startup. Moreover,
when the domain configuration includes a guest domain, the OpenBoot PROM
environment variable is initialized.
