To enable NIC hot swap and hot expansion with PCI Hot Plug, the NC must be redundant.
Note
To replace the NIC using PCI Hot Plug, the network interface must be active. Stop the node and replace the NIC if the following public LAN is used:
* The interface attribute of the public LAN and takeover IP address is set to "base", and
* The public LAN uses GLS (Multipath) in which the network interface is inactive on a standby node or a failed node.
You cannot replace the NIC using PCI Hot Plug if the CF configuration is not complete. If you are aware of it after PRIMECLUSTER installation, stop the node and replace the NIC. For information on how to configure CF, see the "PRIMECLUSTER Cluster Foundation Configuration and Administration Guide."
You cannot replace the NIC using PCI Hot Plug if Scalable Internet Services (SIS) is used (SMAWdtcp is installed). If you want to replace the NIC, it is necessary to uninstall SMAWdtcp in single user mode in advance. If you want to use the Scalable Internet Services (SIS), stop the node and replace the NIC.
If GLS is used, see "3.3 NIC hot swap and hot expansion with PCI Hot Plug."
If GLS is not used, see the documentation for devices published by Oracle Solaris.
If GLS is used, see "3.3 NIC hot swap and hot expansion with PCI Hot Plug."
If GLS is not used, see the documentation for devices published by Oracle Solaris.
Refer to "4.3.3 Replacing the cluster interconnect (Ethernet)."
However, stop the node and replace the cluster interconnect in the following cases:
All the interconnects have failed.
All the interconnects are replaced.
Only the route with the failed interconnect is left while replacing the interconnect.
