This chapter explains how to use the function of the DR/PCI Hot Plug in GDS.
GDS allows you to operate DR-based hot swap and hot expansion of a system board by configuring mirrored disks that are connected to different system boards without disrupting ongoing operations. Similarly, GDS allows you to operate PCI Hot Plug based hot swap and hot expansion of a PCI card without disrupting ongoing operations.
This section describes the prerequisites and procedures for the following operations:
Hot swap of a system board using DR (only root or local class for SPARC Enterprise)
Addition of a system board by using DR (SPARC M10)
Hot swap of a PCI card using PCI Hot Plug
Hot expansion of a PCI card using PCI Hot Plug
