The system board is replaced by using the DR function of XSCF with the rvnetadm disconnect command and the rvnetadm connect command. These commands are used when disconnecting or reconnecting a physical NIC assigned under the virtual NIC.
Procedure when disconnecting a NIC
This section describes the procedure for disconnecting a NIC built into the target system board temporarily from the virtual NIC when replacing a system board due to a failure or other reason.
Figure 6.2 Disconnecting procedure
Disconnect a NIC from the virtual NIC
Disconnect all the NICs built into the system board that is to be replaced from the virtual NIC with the rvnetadm disconnect command.
# /opt/FJSVrvnet/bin/rvnetadm disconnect -n fjvnet0 -i net1 # /opt/FJSVrvnet/bin/rvnetadm disconnect -n fjvnet1 -i net3
See
For details on the rvnetadm command, see "A.1 rvnetadm command."
Disconnect a system board
Disconnect the system board with the deleteboard command of XSCF.
# XSCF> deleteboard -c disconnect 01-0
Note
See the following manuals in advance to check the board number of the system board to be disconnected:
For SPARC M12-S/ M10-4S
"Domain Configuration Guide"
For SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000
"DR User's Guide"

Procedure when connecting a NIC
This section describes the procedure for embedding a NIC built into the target system board to the virtual NIC again when replacing a system board due to a failure or other reason.
Figure 6.3 Connecting procedure
Reconstructing a system board
Connect the system board with the addboard command of XSCF.
For SPARC M12-S/ M10-4S
# XSCF> addboard -c configure -p 0 01-0
For SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000
# XSCF> addboard -c configure -d 0 01-0
Note
See the following manuals in advance to check the board number of the system board to be connected:
For SPARC M12-S/ M10-4S

Reconnecting a NIC to the virtual NIC
Reconnect all NICs built into the replaced system board to the virtual NIC with the rvnetadm connect command. If changing the active path through the hot swap, fail back the active path as necessary.
# /opt/FJSVrvnet/bin/rvnetadm connect -n fjvnet0 -i net1 # /opt/FJSVrvnet/bin/rvnetadm connect -n fjvnet1 -i net3
