operation.
As a matter of course, system boards to be deleted, moved, or replaced have already
been registered in the DCL. You need not confirm that these boards have been
registered in the DCL.
For details about the DCL and how to register system boards in the DCL and to
confirm registration, refer to SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 Servers
XSCF User’s Guide.
2.2.2 Settings Using XSCF
The DR functions provide users with some options to avoid the complexities of
reconfiguration and memory allocation with the Solaris OS, and make DR operations
smoother. You can set up these options using the XSCF shell or XSCF Web. This
section describes the following options:
■ Configuration policy option
■ Floating board option
■ Omit-memory option
■ Omit-I/O option
For details of how to set up the options, refer to SPARC Enterprise
M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 Servers XSCF User’s Guide or the setdcl(8) man page.
2.2.2.1 Configuration Policy Option
DR operations involve automatic hardware diagnosis to add or move a system board
safely. Degradation of components occurs when the components are set according to
the configuration of this option, and a hardware error is detected. This option
specifies the range of degradation. Moreover, this option can be used for initial
diagnosis by domain startup in addition to DR operations.
The unit of degradation can be a component where a hardware error is detected, the
system board (XSB) where the component is mounted, or a domain.
This option is set using setdcl(8) command. Values that can be set and units of
degradation is explained in
TABLE 2-1 .
The default value of the configuration policy option is FRU.
