The PCIe EM hot plug capability is built into the supported Oracle Solaris OS for your server. Use this procedure to prepare the server with Oracle Solaris OS for hot-plugging PCIe EMs.
Before You Begin
Before you remove a PCIe EM, ensure that dependent critical resources are accessible through an alternate path, or plan for service downtime.
# svcs hotplug
STATE STIME FMRI online 15:47:02 svc:/system/hotplyg:default
# svcadm enable hotplug
For example:
# cfgadm -s "match=partial,select=ap_id"
Sample output from the command:
Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition slot1 unknown etherne/hp configured ok slot2 unknown etherne/hp configured ok slot3 unknown etherne/hp configured ok slot4 unknown etherne/hp configured ok slot5 unknown empty unconfigured unknown slot6 unknown empty unconfigured unknown slot7 unknown empty unconfigured unknown slot8 unknown empty unconfigured unknown
The sample output shows populated and unpopulated devices.
For more information about PCIe EM designations, see PCIe EM Designations, Slot Numbering, and Population Rules.
The LED blinks for approximately five seconds and then turns off.
—or—
# cfgadm -c unconfigure slot#
where slot# is the Ap_Id as determined in the previous steps.
For example:
cfgadm -c unconfigure slot4
For example:
# cfgadm -s "match=partial,select=ap_id"
Sample output from the command:
Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition slot1 unknown etherne/hp configured ok slot2 unknown etherne/hp configured ok slot3 unknown etherne/hp configured ok slot4 unknown etherne/hp unconfigured unknown slot5 unknown empty unconfigured unknown slot6 unknown empty unconfigured unknown slot7 unknown empty unconfigured unknown slot8 unknown empty unconfigured unknown
In the output from the command, verify that the Type and Condition are shown as unknown, and that the Occupant value indicates that the device is unconfigured.
# cfgadm -c disconnect slot#
# cfgadm -s "match=partial,select=ap_id"
Sample output from the command:
Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition slot1 unknown etherne/hp configured ok slot2 unknown etherne/hp configured ok slot3 unknown etherne/hp configured ok slot4 unknown disconnected unconfigured unknown slot5 unknown empty unconfigured unknown slot6 unknown empty unconfigured unknown slot7 unknown empty unconfigured unknown slot8 unknown empty unconfigured unknown
In the output of the command, verify that the Receptacle value is shown as disconnected.
