Prepare to Remove an SP
1.
Determine which SP requires service.
See
"Identify Faulted Components" on page 36
Ensure that the SPM on the SP is not managing hardware.

If state_sp reports OffDuty, the SP is not the Active SP and you can continue to

If state_sp reports Running, you must first change the Active SP assignment. See

step for the second SPM. For example, if you previously ran the state_sp command
on Service_Processor_0/Service_Processor_Module_0, you now need to run it on
Service_Processor_0/Service_Processor_Module_1.

For SPARC M8-8 and SPARC M7-8 servers only, verify that the PCIe devices are
offline.

For SPARC M8-8 and SPARC M7-8 servers with two PDomains, check the
state for both SPMs.

state for the only SPM.
-> show /System/Other_Removable_Devices/Service_Processors/
If state_pcie returns a value of Online, log onto the host that contains the SPM and prepare
the PCIe card for removal by taking the devices offline for the appropriate SP/SPM slot. See
