Solaris 7 11/99 Release Notes Supplement for Sun Hardware

Cannot Drain And/or Detach Sun Enterprise Server Boards That Host QFE Cards, Bug-ID 4231845

When a server is configured as a boot server for Solaris 2.5.1-based x86 clients, it has several rpld jobs running, whether or not such devices are in use. These active references prevent DR operations from detaching these devices.

Workaround: To perform a DR detach operation:

  1. Remove or rename the /rplboot directory.

  2. Shut down NFS services with this command:


    # sh /etc/init.d/nfs.server stop
    

  3. Perform the DR detach operation.

  4. Restart NFS services with this command:


    # sh /etc/init.d/nfs.server start
