Preface

This guide describes the Dynamic Reconfiguration (DR) feature of SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 servers from Oracle and Fujitsu. DR enables users to add, remove or exchange system boards in the M4000/M5000 (midrange) and M8000/M9000 (high-end) servers while the domains that contain these boards remain up and running. The M3000 server does not support DR.

Some references to server names and document names are abbreviated for readability. For example, if you see a reference to the M9000 server, note that the full product name is the SPARC Enterprise M9000 server. And if you see a reference to the XSCF Reference Manual, note that the full document name is the SPARC Enterprise M3000/M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 Servers XSCF Reference Manual.

Before reading this document, you should read the overview guide for your server, the SPARC Enterprise M3000/M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 Servers Administration Guide, and the SPARC Enterprise M3000/M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 Servers XSCF User’s Guide.

At publication of this document, servers described herein were shipping with XCP 1100 firmware installed. That might no longer be the latest available version, or the version now installed. Always see the Product Notes that apply to the firmware on your server, and those that apply to the latest firmware release.

This chapter includes the following sections:
