Disabling a Board

If a board is to be kept in the system for use as a spare board, enter this board in the disabled board list. This prevents the board from being used when the system is turned on or rebooted.

To disable a board, use the EEPROM command:

# eeprom disabled-board-list=sysctrl#:slot#

Alternatively, you can use the DR command:

# cfgadm -c disconnect -o disable-at-boot sysctrl#:slot#

Note that disabled boards remain in the cfgadm status display even if a different board is subsequently placed in the same slot.
