Sun Enterprise 10000 Dynamic Reconfiguration User Guide

Preface

This book describes the dynamic reconfiguration (DR) feature. The DR feature enables you to logically attach and detach system boards to and from a dynamic system domain while the operating system continues to run.

Before You Read This Book

This book is intended for the DR administrator who has a working knowledge of UNIX\256 systems, particularly those based on the Solaris^TM operating environment. If you do not have such knowledge, first read the Solaris user and system administrator books in AnswerBook2^TM format provided with this system and consider UNIX system administration training.

How This Book Is Organized

This book contains the following chapters:

Chapter 1, DR on the Sun Enterprise 10000 Server introduces you to the DR feature.

Chapter 2, DR 2.0 Model contains information and procedures on the DR 2.0 model.

Chapter 3, DR 3.0 Model contains information and procedures on the DR 3.0 model.

Appendix A, DR Error Messages lists all error messages that are generated either by the SSP or on the domain.
