chassis) to the 8BB configuration changes the master chassis from the SPARC
M10-4S to a crossbar box mounted in an expansion rack. The existing SPARC
M10-4S must be released from the system before installation of the expansion rack.
Multiple SPARC M10-4S units cannot be released at the same time. Do this work
on one unit at a time.
Any installation that changes the 8BB configuration to the 9BB configuration or
■
larger requires the new installation of expansion rack 2. For details of expansion
racks, see
Any installation that changes the 8BB configuration to the 9BB configuration or
■
larger requires special attention because crossbar cables need to be laid all over
again.
Executing the addfru command for installation automatically updates firmware to
■
match firmware versions. The update matches the version on the master XSCF, so
we recommend updating XCP on the master XSCF to the latest version in advance.
Suppose you install the SPARC M10-4S together with a PCI expansion unit
■
connected to it and set the enabling/disabling setting of the direct I/O function of
the PCI expansion unit. In this case, execute the setpciboxdio command to set the
enabling/disabling setting before installing it on the physical partition by
executing the addboard command. Set the setting. When you have changed the
setting of the direct I/O function, do not restart the logical domains until you
execute the ldm add-spconfig command to save the logical domain configuration
in XSCF.
When installing a SPARC M10-4S on which SPARC64 X+ processors are mounted
■
in a system in which only SPARC64 X processors are mounted, update the XCP
firmware and Oracle Solaris beforehand.
For details, see "A.5 For Expansion of the System Board Configured by SPARC64
X+ Processor to the Physical Partition Configured Only by the SPARC64 X
Processor" in the Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 Systems Domain Configuration Guide.
Remarks - The product model number of a chassis in which SPARC64 X+ processors are
mounted begins with "SPMCG". Check the model indication on the label affixed on the
upper right of the front cover or check the system nameplate on the right side surface of the
chassis.
