Hot-Swap the Adapter (Oracle Solaris)

Before You Begin

This task is for removing and installing an adapter without powering off the system.

1. Add this line to the /etc/system file:

   set pcie:pcie_disable_ari = 1

   Reboot the system after the modification for the changes to take effect.

2. Unplumb the adapter:

   # ifconfig ibd(0/1 or 2/3 ...) unplumb

3. Find the device number as required for hot-swapping:

   ---

   Note - The Ap_Id changes from platform to platform. Use the Ap_Id related to the ib/hp type. Refer to the hot-plug/hot-swap procedures in the Solaris 10 documentation collections at: http://docs.sun.com

   ---

   The following is an example. The output from your platform could look different.

   # cfgadm
   Ap_Id                          Type         Receptacle   Occupant     Condition
   ...
   PCI-LP0                        ib/hp        connected    configured   ok
   PCI-LP1                        ib/hp        connected    configured   ok
   c2                             scsi-sas     connected    unconfigured unknown
   c3                             scsi-sas     connected    unconfigured unknown
   c4                             scsi-sas     connected    unconfigured unknown
   hca:2C90109763F70              IB-HCA       connected    configured   ok
   hca:2C90109763F71              IB-HCA       connected    configured   ok
   ib                             IB-Fabric    connected    configured   ok
   usb0/1                         unknown      empty        unconfigured ok

4. Unconfigure the adapter:

   # cfgadm -c unconfigure  PCI-LP0

5. Disconnect the adapter:

   # cfgadm -c disconnect PCI-LP0

6. Remove the adapter from the server.
7. Install a new adapter.

   See Install the Adapter.

8. Connect the adapter.

   # cfgadm -c connect PCI-LP0

9. Configure the adapter.

   # cfgadm -c configure PCI-LP0

10. Plumb the adapter.

    # ifconfig ibdn plumb IP_address up

11. Verify the installation.
