It is possible to use a Dynamic Reconfiguration function (hereafter, DR function) provided by the following products in GLS:
SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000
Note
See the following manuals to use a DR function.

A DR connection script, which enables automatic disconnection or embedding of an NIC in a redundant configuration, is provided to use the DR function of ESF in a Redundant Line Control function. When a DR connection script is invoked by executing a DR command, it disconnects or connects a virtual interface (sha0, etc.) and an actual interface (hme0, etc.). This makes it possible to execute a DR function without realizing an interface, a function, and a DR connection script used in various modes. "Figure 2.41 Flow of exchanging system boards (SB) using a DR function" shows a flow of exchanging system boards (SB) using a DR function.

Note
The DR linkage script does not support the disconnecting/embedding of an NIC under a redundant virtual interface comprised of an IPv6 virtual interface and a tagged VLAN Interface. If disconnecting the system board with a DR command, manually disconnect the NIC built into the system board from the multiplex configuration first. Also, after performing the system board embedding, perform embedding to the multiplex configuration.
