SPARC Enterprise Mx000 Servers Dynamic Reconfiguration User’s Guide • September 2007

To perform a DR operation for a system board, you must determine the method of
DR operation according to the status of the target system board.
You can display and reference the status of each system board via a user interface
provided by XSCF. For details of the user interface, see

Chapter 3

DR User

Interface.

2.4.3

Flow of DR Processing

This section describes the flow of DR processing and the changes in system board
status during individual DR operations.

2.4.3.1

Flowchart: Adding a System Board

The flow of DR operations and the transition of system board status when a system
board has been added or reserved for addition are described in the schematic
flowchart, below.

Each system board status indicated in

FIGURE 2-5

is the main status that is changed.
