Prepare to Remove an SP
1.
Determine which SP requires service.
See “Identify Faulted Components” on page 36 and “SP General Status LEDs” on page 120.
2.
Ensure that the SPM on the SP is not managing hardware.
-> show /System/Other_Removable_Devices/Service_Processors/
Service_Processor_x/Service_Processor_Module_0 state_sp
Properties:
state_sp = OffDuty
■
If state_sp reports OffDuty, the SP is not the Active SP and you can continue to Step 5.
■
If state_sp reports Running, you must first change the Active SP assignment. See “Change
Which SP Is Managing System Activity” on page 124.
Note - For SPARC M8-8 and SPARC M7-8 servers with two PDomains, perform this
step for the second SPM. For example, if you previously ran the state_sp command
on Service_Processor_0/Service_Processor_Module_0, you now need to run it on
Service_Processor_0/Service_Processor_Module_1.
3.
For SPARC M8-8 and SPARC M7-8 servers only, verify that the PCIe devices are
offline.
■ For SPARC M8-8 and SPARC M7-8 servers with two PDomains, check the
state for both SPMs.
-> show /System/Other_Removable_Devices/Service_Processors/
Service_Processor_x/Service_Processor_Module_0 state_pcie
Properties:
state_pcie = Offline
-> show /System/Other_Removable_Devices/Service_Processors/
Service_Processor_x/Service_Processor_Module_1 state_pcie
Properties:
state_pcie = Offline
■ For SPARC M8-8 and SPARC M7-8 servers with one PDomain, check the
state for the only SPM.
-> show /System/Other_Removable_Devices/Service_Processors/
Service_Processor_x/Service_Processor_Module_0 state_pcie
Properties:
state_pcie = Offline
If state_pcie returns a value of Online, log onto the host that contains the SPM and prepare
the PCIe card for removal by taking the devices offline for the appropriate SP/SPM slot. See
“Servicing PCIe Cards” on page 141.
