The SPARC T7-4 server supports single-wide and double-wide card carriers. The removal steps are the same for both carrier types. This topic includes illustrations only for the single-wide carrier.
Caution - This procedure requires that you handle components that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. This discharge can cause failure of server components. |

# hotplug list -cv
This command lists dynamically reconfigurable hardware resources and shows their operational status. In this case, look for the status of the PCIe card you plan to remove. This information is listed in the State column.
For example:
# hotplug list -cv Connection State Description ______________________________________________________________________________ PCIE1 EMPTY PCIe-Native ... PCIE7 ENABLED PCIe-Native Device Usage ___________________________________________________________________________ SUNW,qlc@0 - fp - disk - fp@0,0 - SUNW,qlc@0,1 - fp - disk - fp@0,0 - PCIE13 EMPTY PCIe-Native PCIE15 EMPTY PCIe-Native
For example:
# hotplug disable PCIE7
For example:
# hotplug list -cv PCIE7 Connection State Description ______________________________________________________________________________ PCIE7 PRESENT PCIe-Native
# cfgadm -al
This command lists dynamically reconfigurable hardware resources and shows their operational status. In this case, look for the status of the PCIe card you plan to remove. This information is listed in the Occupant column.
For example:
Ap_id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition PCI-EM0 sas/hp connected configured ok PCI-EM1 sas/hp connected configured ok ...
# cfgadm -c disconnect Ap-id
where Ap-id is the ID of the card that you want to remove.
