4.5.2.1 Replacement of PCI card on redundant system

In Fast Switching and NIC Switching mode, it is possible to replace the redundant NIC without stopping network communication.

For NIC Switching mode, it is required to stop the transfer path monitoring function and standby patrol function.
For GS/SURE linkage mode, it is required to deactivate the virtual interface.

The following is a procedure of replacing redundant system.

For replacing procedure of deactivated configuration, refer to "PCI Hot Plug User's guide for I/O device".

1) Stop the hardware monitoring of the Machine Administration

The hardware monitoring of the Machine Administration is stopped by using the following command.

# /usr/sbin/FJSVmadm/prephp <Return>

2) Specify the replacing PCI card

An interface on the PCI card to be replaced can be identified from the warning messages output to the console (eg. hme1).

3) Disconnect from redundant system

In order to remove the PCI card from the redundant system for replacement, please execute the following command with the interface name obtained in the procedure "2) Specify the replacing PCI card". On the redundant system of standby mode, when an online communication path is disconnected, a standby communication path will be online communication path automatically.

Fast switching mode

# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetnic delete -n sha0 -i hme1 <Return>
# /usr/sbin/ifconfig hme1 unplumb <Return>

NIC switching mode

# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetpoll off <Return>
# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/stpptl -n sha1 <Return>
# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetnic change -n sha0 <Return>

GS/SURE linkage mode

# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/stphanet -n sha0 <Return>

4) Disconnect the PCI card

Specify the interface name identified in the procedure "2) Specify the replacing PCI card." to "inst2comp" command to obtain the PCI bus slot "Ap_Id".

# /usr/sbin/FJSVmadm/inst2comp hme1 <Return>
pcipsy21:R0B01-PCI#slot03

Specify the "Ap_Id" obtained above as an argument to "cfgadm"(1M) command, and confirm that the slot status of the PCI card to be disconnected is "connected configured".

# cfgadm pcipsy21:R0B01-PCI#slot03 <Return>
Ap_Id                          Type        Receptacle    Occupant      Condition
pcipsy21:R0B01-PCI#slot03      pci-pci/hp  connected     configured    ok

Please disconnect the PCI card by executing the cfgadn (1M) command with "Ap_Id," and confirm that the slot status is "disconnected unconfigured."

# cfgadm -c disconnect pcipsy21:R0B01-PCI#slot03 <Return>
# cfgadm pcipsy21:R0B01-PCI#slot03 <Return>
Ap_Id                          Type        Receptacle    Occupant      Condition
pcipsy21:R0B01-PCI#slot03      unknown     disconnected  unconfigured  unknown

To indicate the slot position for replacement, specify the obtained "Ap_Id" to "cfgadm" command and blink the ALARM LED.

# cfgadm -x led=fault,mode=blink pcipsy21:R0B01-PCI#slot03 <Return>

5) Replace the PCI card

The PCI card disconnected in the procedure "4) Disconnect the PCI card" is replaced with a new one. Our customer support staff does this for you.

6) Connect the PCI card

In order to connect a new PCI card, execute "cfgadm" command with "configure" option and the "Ap_Id", or push the push button of the PCI bus slot.

In addition, a push button is valid only in multiple user mode.

Please confirm that the slot status is "connected configured" by using the cfgadm (1M) command after the above-mentioned procedure.

# cfgadm -c configure pcipsy21:R0B01-PCI#slot03 <Return>
# cfgadm pcipsy21:R0B01-PCI#slot03 <Return>
Ap_Id                          Type        Receptacle    Occupant      Condition
pcipsy21:R0B01-PCI#slot03      pci-pci/hp  connected     configured    ok

7) Connect to redundant system

In order to connect the new PCI card to a redundant system, please execute the following commands with the interface name identified in the procedure "2) Specify the replacing PCI card".

Fast switching mode

# /usr/sbin/ifconfig hme1 plumb <Return>
# /usr/sbin/ifconfig hme1 192.168.10.10 netmask + broadcast + -trailers up <Return>
# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetnic add -n sha0 -i hme1 <Return>

NIC switching mode

# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetnic change -n sha0 <Return>
# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/strptl -n sha1 <Return>
# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetpoll on <Return>

GS/SURE linkage mode

# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/strhanet -n sha0 <Return>

8) Switch back the redundant path

Please switch back an online communication path if needed.

9) Start the hardware monitoring of the Machine Administration

Please execute the following commands in order to update configuration information, and restart the hardware monitoring of the Machine Administration.

# /usr/sbin/FJSVmadm/postphp <Return>
