By using the configuration-policy command, you can disable
A component--disables only the failing component
A board---disables the board if any component on it fails
A system--stops the system at the POST menu if there is a failure
ok setenv configuration-policy board
# eeprom "configuration-policy=board"
If you suspect a board is defective and want to request that the system disable the board, perform the following procedure.
Isolate the board from the system:
For a type three I/O board, use the setenv command at the ok prompt or the eeprom command at the # prompt and then reboot the system.
For all other boards, use DR commands.
In the examples that follow, 3 means slot 3.
ok setenv disabled-board-list 3
# eeprom "disabled-board-list"=3
Remove the defective board and insert a new board.
To activate the board:
For type 3 (PCI) I/O boards, clear the disabled-board-list, and then reboot the system.
For all other boards, use DR commands.
See Table 1-1 for more information.
