over the guest domains. If you have set the control domain to delayed reconfiguration mode,
restart the control domain as soon as possible.

Note -
To perform PCI Express card maintenance using the hot plug function, confirm that
the card is hot-pluggable. To do so, check "Appendix A Cards that Support PCI Hot Plug and
Dynamic Reconfiguration" in the Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 Systems PCI Card Installation Guide.
a. Transition the control domain to delayed reconfiguration mode.
b. Delete the physical I/O device from the control domain.
3.
Restart the control domain.
5.4.2 Enabling the removal of an I/O device
This section describes the procedure for enabling the removal of an I/O device by
using the hot plug function.
To use the hot plug function, the hotplug service of Oracle Solaris needs to be
enabled. Check the status of the service. If it is disabled, enable the hotplug service in
the
following procedure. The hot plug function is available only on the control
domain and root domain.
For details on the cfgadm(1M) command used here, see "4. Dynamically Configuring
Devices (Tasks)" in the Oracle Solaris 11.1 Administration: Devices and File Systems.
Enabling the removal of a PCI Express card
1.
Log in as a super user to Oracle Solaris on the logical domain (control domain
or root domain) to which the target PCI Express card is assigned.
2.
Check the mounting position (Ap_Id) of the target PCI Express card from the
logical domain (control domain or root domain).
