Sun Enterprise 6500/5500/4500 Systems Installation Guide

Dynamic Reconfiguration

Dynamic Reconfiguration (DR) is a software enhancement that enables hardware alterations while the Enterprise server is powered-on. DR works with the hardware "hot plug" capability --the process of physically removing and inserting components while a server is running-- to enable the system administrator to add or remove system boards, altering the configuration without needing to reboot the server.

Check with your Sun sales representative or systems engineer for information on the availability of DR.

The online Dynamic Reconfiguration User's Guide for Sun Enterprise Systems provides information about preparing your server to use DR, and instructions for performing DR operations.
