DR: Cannot Unconfigure a CPU/Memory Board That Has Interleaved Memory, Bug ID 4210234

Category: RFE

Cannot unconfigure a CPU/Memory board that has interleaved memory.

To unconfigure and subsequently disconnect a CPU board with memory or a memory-only board, it is necessary to first unconfigure the memory. However, if the memory on the board is interleaved with memory on other boards, the memory cannot currently be unconfigured dynamically.

Memory interleaving can be displayed using the prtdiag or the cfgadm commands.

Workaround: Shut down the system before servicing the board, then reboot afterward. To permit future DR operations on the CPU/memory board, set the NVRAM memory-interleave property to min.
