C H A P T E R Hot-Swap Software Commands This chapter provides information about hot-swap and the cfgadm utility. This chapter contains the following topics: Section 5.1, “Understanding Hot-Swap” on page 5-2 ■ Section 5.2, “Using the cfgadm Utility” on page 5-5 ■...
Understanding Hot-Swap Certain FRUs in the Netra CT server are hot-swappable (see Section 1.3.1, “Hot- Swappable FRUs” on page 1-4). Hot-swap, a key feature of the PICMG standard, means that a CompactPCI board that meets the PICMG standard can be reliably inserted into or extracted from a powered and operating CompactPCI platform without affecting the other functions of the platform.
5.1.1 How High-Availability Hot-Swap Works By default, a Netra CT server is configured to accept any cPCI FRU unless you specifically set an allowable plug-in for a slot (refer to the Netra CT Server System Administration Guide for more information.) When a board is inserted into a Netra CT server, the alarm card checks the midplane FRU ID information for allowable FRUs for that slot, then checks the inserted board’s FRU ID to make sure the board is allowed in the particular slot.
CompactPCI Board LED States and Meanings on the System Status Panel TABLE 5-2 Amber Green Okay to Power Remove LED state LED state Meaning Action The slot is empty or the system If there is a board installed in this slot, then one of thinks that the slot is empty the following is faulty: because the system didn’t detect...

4. If you are installing a Netra CP2140 host CPU board into a Netra CT server, ensure that the switch settings on the SW0501 switches are set for the default, non- high-availability settings. The Netra CT server supports high-availability hot-swap; however, because the alarm card controls the high availability on the Netra CT server, the settings on the SW0501 switches on the Netra CP2140 host CPU board must be set in the default, non-high-availability settings.
5. If you want to reconfigure a Netra CP2500 board from another server or slot where the board was used as a CompactPCI switched backplane (cPSB) board, change the SW3301 dip switch settings to reconfigure the board as a cPCI satellite board.
6-5. Failure to do so might result in an inadvertent system reboot or incorrect configuration. 1. Locate the board that you want to remove from the server. shows the locations of the boards in a Netra CT 810 server. FIGURE 6-1 FIGURE 6-2 shows the locations of the boards in a Netra CT 410 server.

A P P E N D I X Error Messages This appendix describes error messages that you might see while operating or servicing a Netra CT server, their meanings, and the actions necessary for each. All error messages in this appendix are written to the /var/adm/messages file on your system.
This program must be run on the same chassis. Action You must restart mcnet. Change directories to the mcn directory. If you are performing a procedure on a Netra CT 810 server, go to: ■ # cd /usr/platform/SUNW,NetraCT-810/mcn If you are performing a procedure on a Netra CT 410 server, go to: ■...
scsb Error Messages Message Alarm and Slot presence state bits do not match! Cause A problem was encountered when a hot-swap alarm card was installed in the server. Action Run prtdiag to determine the state of the I/O slot. If the alarm card is not listed when you run prtdiag, remove and reinsert the alarm card into the slot.
Page 276
Cause The CompactPCI board lost its HEALTHY report. Action The CompactPCI board failed or is damaged. Configure the board, then unconfigure it using the instructions in Chapter 6. If the error messages repeat, then the board has failed. Replace the I/O board, using the instructions in Chapter If the system has taken the board offline because the board stopped sending a HEALTHY signal, the following message is displayed:...
Page 277
Cause An Inter-Integrated Circuit (I C) error resulted in an LED change failure. The LEDs on the system status panel might give incorrect information as a result. Action Use the prtdiag tool to print the correct LED states. Remove and reinstall the system controller board to correct the problem.
Page 278
Cause A CompactPCI board that is probably damaged is installed in an I/O slot in the system. The board has an error causing it to continually interrupt the CPU with hot- swap service events when there is no change to the board’s state. The board continually reports itself “inserted”...
Page 279
Cause An error occurred when the scsb driver received the retry command from the system controller board. Action Retry. If the error persists, the system controller board is damaged and should be replaced. See Chapter 8 for instructions. Message scsb#0: no HEALTHY# signal on slot# Cause You tried to connect or configure a hot-swappable I/O board that was not reporting itself HEALTHY.
Page 280
Cause You rebooted the system with a failed board. The OpenBoot PROM has taken it out of reset and probed it. Action The board is probably damaged and should not be used. Unconfigure the board manually, and remove the board from the system using the instructions in Chapter Message scsb#0: slot # Occupant configured, Regained HEALTHY#!
Message scsb#0: Successfully Upgraded to Full Hotswap Mode Cause Full hot-swap was enabled on the system. Action No action is necessary. Anticipated Hardware Failure C.3.1 Transient Interrupts Message Interrupt Level 4--Not serviced Cause Such a message occurring intermittently is always a result of the underlying hardware doing something unpredictable.
C.3.2 Soft Hang Message Interrupt Level 4--Not serviced Cause This message, occurring continuously, signals a soft hang of the system. The presenting symptom is that the system is noticeably sluggish because it is busy processing interrupts. A soft hang occurs when a component such as a power supply sends a level high interrupt and keeps it high.
NO ADDRESS ACK 80. indicates a problem with address 80, which is the fixed address of the system controller board). Most of the Sun drivers print a secondary error message, but the principal error message comes from pcf8584. The interface to this is through an ioctl, so it is done through software.
Bus Busy Complaints Message Bus busy, cleared after initializing Cause This is a transient 1 C error message. Action Usually no action is necessary because the system recovers from most transient 1 errors. If the system becomes unresponsive, completely power the server off, then power it back on.
