Solaris 7 11/99 Release Notes Supplement for Sun Hardware

Enabling Dynamic Reconfiguration

In the /etc/system file, two variables must be set to enable dynamic reconfiguration and an additional variable must be set to enable the removal of CPU/memory boards.

  1. Log in as root.

  2. To enable dynamic reconfiguration, edit the /etc/system file and add the following lines to the /etc/system file:


    set pln:pln_enable_detach_suspend=1
    set soc:soc_enable_detach_suspend=1
    

  3. To enable the removal of a CPU/memory board, add this line to the /etc/system file:


    set kernel_cage_enable=1
    

    Setting this variable enables the memory unconfiguration operation.

  4. Reboot the system to put the changes into effect.
