Dynamic Reconfiguration
Initiating the DR process
The basic actions DR-connect and DR-disconnect are always performed in the partition for
which they apply, and this independently of whether they are initiated in PRIMEPOWER
ServerView within the partition or on the SMC.
DR-connect and DR-disconnect are initiated by selecting the relevant XSB (designates the
system board) and one of the actions Connect, Disconnect or Hot Swap in the Systemboards DR
subtab of the Boards tab in the VConfig application.
The Disconnect action enables DR-disconnect to be initiated for an XSB which is currently
integrated in or assigned to the selected partition .
The Connect action enables DR-connect to be initiated directly for an XSB which is at this
time either assigned to the pool of free XSBs or the selected partition.
The Hot Swap action enables DR-disconnect to be initiated for preparing the Hot Swap of
an XSB (Hot Swap is the name of the process in which a hardware component is added
or removed while the system is active). The XSB remains assigned to the partition in
this case. If required the intended Hot Swap can be canceled by going to the
Systemboards DR subtab of the Boards tag and selecting first the XSB and then the Cancel
hot swap action which becomes available.

Important note
In PRIMEPOWER ServerView the DR process is logged in a separate window.
Avoid closing this window as this results in the DR process being aborted.
If it is necessary to abort it, a DR process started using PRIMEPOWER ServerView
should be aborted with the drc -abort command (see the
DR, diagnosis and problem handling" on page
Performing DR
section "Execution of
313).
