You need the following tools to install, remove, or replace components in a Netra CT
server:
■ No. 1 Phillips screwdriver
■ No. 2 Phillips screwdriver
1.2Attaching the Antistatic Wrist Strap
Most field-replaceable units have sensitive electronic components that require
antistatic precautions.
1. Get the antistatic wrist strap and electrostatic discharge mat from the shipping kit.
2. Place the electrostatic discharge mat close to the system.
3. Unwrap the first two folds of the wrist strap and wrap the adhesive side firmly
against your wrist.
4. Peel the liner from the copper foil at the opposite end of the wrist strap, and
attach the copper end of the strap to a bare metal area on the Netra CT server or on
the chassis, as shown in
FIGURE 1-1.

1.3FRU Categories
In general, the FRUs in a Netra CT server can be divided into two categories:
■ Hot-installable/replaceable (referred to hereafter as hot-swappable), meaning that
you can install or remove and replace the FRU while the server is running,
without interrupting the operation of the server. This category of FRU sometimes
requires that you enter hot-swap software commands before and after an
installation or a removal/replacement to incorporate the new FRU in the system
correctly. For information on hot-swap commands, see Chapter 5.
■ Non-hot-swappable, or cold-swappable, meaning that you must halt (and, in some
cases, also power off) the server before installing or removing and replacing a
FRU. Note that you must halt power only to the server where you would be
removing and replacing the FRUs; any other servers installed in the same chassis
can remain running.
Redundant power supplies and hard drives in a Netra CT 810 server are a variation
of the hot-swappable category. You can replace a single power supply in a
redundant configuration while the server is running, without having to enter any
software commands, or a single hard drive after you have unmounted the drive or
disengaged it if you are running a disk management software package.

Powering the Server Off and On
This chapter provides instructions on powering the Netra CT server on and off. This
chapter contains the following topics:
■ Section 2.1, “Powering On the Server” on page 2-2
■ Section 2.3, “Powering Off the Server” on page 2-7
Note – Whenever you reboot or power your server on and off, the hot-swap states
revert back to the default full hot-swap state for all I/O slots. If you want basic hotswap on an I/O slot, you must manually reset the I/O slot to basic hot-swap after
rebooting or powering your server on and off.
Note – You can also power the Netra CT server on and off through the alarm card
using the poweroff and poweron commands. Refer to the Netra CT Server System
Administration Guide for more information.
2-1
Page 36
2.1Powering On the Server
Note – You must have the host CPU board, alarm card, and system controller board
installed in the Netra CT server before you can power it on; the server will not
power on properly unless these three are installed. Once the system is powered on
and running, then you can hot-swap any of the three components as documented in
this manual.
Note – Do not reboot the server if the alarm card is in the process of resetting.
The system power on sequence is as follows:
1. The alarm card comes up and powers on the power supplies
2. The alarm card powers on I/O boards
3. The alarm card powers on the host CPU board, and the Solaris OS boots
4. The alarm card powers on satellite CPU boards supported by Sun Microsystems,
such as the Netra CP2160 and the Netra CP2500.
The power on sequence must finish before you can use the alarm card CLI
commands poweron cpu_node and poweroff cpu_node.

2.2Verifying Full Power-Up
The Netra CT server may take several minutes to completely power up and finish
the configuration process, depending on the number of I/O boards installed in the
system. Do not remove or install any boards in the Netra CT server until you have
verified that the system is completely powered up.
To verify that the system is completely powered up and is fully configured, as
superuser, enter:
■ If the entry in the State field is configured, then the system is completely
powered up and configured. You can safely remove and install boards at this
point.
■ If the entry in the State field is not configured (for example, configuring or
unconfigured), then the system is still coming up. Do not remove or install any
boards in the Netra CT server in this state. You must wait until the state is
configured.
2-6Netra CT Server Service Manual • February 2007
Page 41
2.3Powering Off the Server
You can power off the Netra CT server in three ways:
■ Graceful hardware power-down
■ Ungraceful hardware power-down
■ Graceful software power-down
If you do not have a terminal hookup to your server and your CPU is functioning
normally, initiate a graceful hardware power-down for your server. For a graceful
hardware power-down, press the system power button for less than four seconds.
This will start the orderly power-down sequence in such a manner that no persistent
OS data structures are corrupted. In the orderly power-down, applications in service
are terminated and no further services are invoked by the CPU.
If you do not have a terminal hookup to your server and your CPU is not
functioning normally, you cannot initiate a graceful hardware power-down; you
must perform an ungraceful hardware power-down. For an ungraceful hardware
power-down, press the system power button for more than four seconds. This
immediately shuts the system down without making any attempts to keep the
persistent OS data structures from being corrupted.
A graceful software power-down is a normal power-down using a terminal
connected to your server, where you log onto the server as superuser, then execute a
software command to bring the server down safely.
■ For hardware power-down instructions, go to Section 2.3.1, “To Perform a
Hardware Power-Down” on page 2-7.
■ For software power-down instructions, go to Section 2.3.2, “To Perform a
Software Power Down” on page 2-8.
2.3.1To Perform a Hardware Power-Down
1. In preparation for bringing down the operating system and powering off the
server, ensure that all significant application activity is stopped on the server.
2. Go to the front of the Netra CT server and locate the system status panel.
The locations of the system status panels in the Netra CT 810 server and Netra CT
410 server are illustrated in
3. Locate the system power button on the system status panel.

4. Press the system power button and release it to go through a graceful hardware
power-down.
This action starts the orderly power-down sequence in such a manner that no
persistent OS data structures are corrupted. Applications in service might be
terminated and no further services are invoked by the CPU. The system power LED
blinks for several seconds, then it goes off.
5. Verify that the green power () LEDs on the power supplies are blinking,
indicating that the system is in the standby mode.
FIGURE 2-3 shows the system power LED location for the Netra CT 810 server, and
FIGURE 2-4 shows the system power LED location for the Netra CT 410 server.
6. If you want to completely power off the Netra CT server, push the purple power
supply unit locking mechanisms up into the unlocked ()position (
FIGURE 2-1).
Note – You must unlock the locking mechanism on both power supply units on the
Netra CT 810 server in order to completely power off that server.
The green power () LEDs on the power supply units should go off (unlit),
indicating that the system is now completely powered off.
2.3.2To Perform a Software Power Down
1. In preparation for bringing down the operating system and powering down the
server, ensure that all significant application activity is stopped on the server.
2. Log in as superuser at the system console and enter:
# cd /
# shutdown -i0 -g0 -y
When the server is finished shutting down, the ok prompt is displayed.
3. Connect to the console and boot up the server.

Handling Boards and Assemblies
This chapter gives instructions on how to safely handle the CompactPCI boards and
assemblies. This chapter is divided into the following sections:
■ Section 3.1, “Handling Boards” on page 3-2
■ Section 3.2, “Handling Assemblies” on page 3-3
Consult the Netra CT Server Safety and Compliance Manual for safety information prior
to performing the procedures in this chapter.
3-1
Page 46
3.1Handling Boards
Each Netra CT server in a chassis has a CompactPCI bus. All of the boards in a
server—the CPU board, alarm card, and I/O boards—are CompactPCI boards.
Caution – The system is sensitive to static electricity. To prevent damage, always
connect an antistatic wrist strap between you and the system.
Caution – Do not flex the CompactPCI boards; the surface-mounted components
can break.
To minimize the amount of flexing, observe the following precautions:
■ When removing a board from an electrostatic discharge bag, keep it vertical until
you lay it on the electrostatic discharge mat.
■ Do not place a board on a hard surface. Use a cushioned antistatic mat. The
connectors and components have very thin pins that bend easily.
■ Be careful of small parts located on the component side of a board.
■ Do not use an oscilloscope probe on the components. The soldered pins are easily
damaged or shorted by the probe point.
■ Transport a board in an antistatic bag.
Caution – The heat sinks on a board can be damaged by incorrect handling. Do not
touch the heat sinks while installing or removing a board. Hold a board only by the
edges. If a heat sink is loose or broken, obtain a replacement board.
Caution – The heat sinks on a board can be damaged by improper packaging.
When storing or shipping a board, ensure that the heat sinks have sufficient
protection.
Caution – The system controller board and its modules have surface-mount
components that can be broken by flexing the board.
3-2Netra CT Server Service Manual • February 2007
Page 47
3.2Handling Assemblies
Assemblies have their own set of handling requirements, similar to the requirements
for CompactPCI boards.
Caution – The system is sensitive to static electricity. To prevent damage to the
board, always connect an antistatic wrist strap between you and the system.

4.3Troubleshooting the System Using
Diagnostic Software
Software packages, such as Sun VTS, allow you to run diagnostic tests on your
system. SunVTS is a validation test suite that is provided as a supplement to the
Solaris operating environment. The individual tests can stress a device, system, or
resource so as to detect and pinpoint hardware and software failures and to provide
users with informational messages for resolving problems. SunVTS runs at the
operating system level.
The following tests are useful when troubleshooting a Netra CT server:
■ alarm2test—is part of SunVTS, but it is used to test the alarm card installed in
the Netra CT server by invoking the alarmdiag test on the alarm card.
alarm2test runs at the operating system level.
■ obdiag—is similar to the alarm2test, in that it invokes the alarmdiag test on
the alarm card; however, obdiag is run from the firmware level, not the
operating system level.
■ Apost—is part of the embedded firmware image on the alarm card. It runs a
basic test on the alarm card to verify that the alarm card is operating properly
before bringing up Chorus on the alarm card.
A new utility called diagconf, which is part of the embedded firmware image on
the alarm card, is now available. You can use diagconf to set or display the
configuration settings for Apost, allowing you to make the tests run on the alarm
card more or less thoroughly before the embedded firmware is brought up on the
alarm card.
To display the values currently set for Apost, access the alarm card command line
interface (CLI) and enter the following command:
hostname cli> diagconf -d
4-14Netra CT Server Service Manual • February 2007
Page 65
Output similar to the following is displayed, giving you the values currently set for
the Apost test on the alarm card:
diag-switch False
verb-mode True
stop-on-error False
diag-level Max
mfg-mode Off
hdr-checksum 0xaa
time-stamp 0
record-format-ver 49
post-version 02
reset-status 0xd0000000
post-status ...
post-msg Watchdog Reset-------- POST Passed-------------------
Some values are hard-set and cannot be changed by a user, while others can be
changed to make the test more or less thorough. To change the value for a test, enter
the following command:
hostname cli> diagconf -s command value
where command is the name of the command that you want to change, and value is
the value you want to change.
The following table lists the Apost tests that can be changed by a user and the
allowable values for each. Any tests not listed in
TABLE 4-6 are either hard-set and
cannot be changed, or should not be changed by a user.
TABLE 4-6Apost Tests and Values through diagconf
CommandValue
diag-switch• True—Turns the diag-switch test on.
• False—Turns the diag-switch test off.
verb-mode• True—Turns the verb-mode test on.
• False—Turns the verb-mode test off.
stop-on-error• True—Stops the Apost testing when the first error is encountered.
• False—Continues Apost testing, regardless of the number of
errors encountered.
diag-level• Off—Turns the diag-level test off.
• Min—Sets the diag-level test to the minimum level of testing.
• Max—Sets the diag-level test to the maximum level of testing.
Chapter 4 Troubleshooting the System4-15
Page 66
For more information on these and other tests in the SunVTS test suite, refer to the
Computer Systems Release Notes Supplement for Sun Hardware document or the
SunVTS documentation on the Solaris on Sun Hardware Answerbook, both included
with your Solaris operating environment.
4.4Troubleshooting the System Using the
Power-On Self Test (POST)
When you first power-up the Netra CT server, some or all of the green Power LEDs
on the system status panel flash on and off for several seconds. The green Power
LED for the I/O slot holding the host board (slot 1 in the Netra CT 810 server and
slot 3 in the Netra CT 410 server) lights solid green while the green Power LEDs for
the remaining components are flashing on and off; this status is an indication that
the CPU board passed the power-on self test (POST).
Before any processing occurs on a system, the system must successfully complete the
POST. Messages are displayed for each step in the POST process. If there is a critical
failure, the system does not complete POST and does not boot. To monitor this
process, you must be connected to the TTY A port on the CPU board or rear
transition module. See Section 5.2.1, “Logging In to the Netra CT Server” on
page 5-5.
OpenBoot PROM (OBP) variables control the console port. The variables and their
possible settings are described as follows.
To see the console output device, enter:
ok printenv output-device
The screen displays output similar to the following:
output-devicettya
The possible settings for this variable are as follows:
■ ttya (default)
■ ttyb
■ screen
■ rsc
4-16Netra CT Server Service Manual • February 2007
Page 67
Both ttya and ttyb represent the serial ports on the CPU board. screen represents
the display attached to the first frame buffer installed in the system (not present on
the Netra CT server). rsc is used by the alarm card.
To see the console input device, enter:
ok printenv input-device
The screen displays output similar to the following:
input-devicettya
The possible settings for this variable are:
■ ttya (default)
■ ttyb
■ keyboard
■ rsc
ttya and ttyb represent the serial ports on the CPU board. keyboard represents
the standard system keyboard (not present on the Netra CT server). rsc is used by
the alarm card. If no system keyboard is connected, the console port defaults to
ttya.
Note – Be sure the two variables are consistent with each other. For example, do not
set the output-device to screen and the input-device to ttya.
Another OBP variable controls the behavior of the POST process called diag-level. By default, this variable is set to max, which means POST runs more
thorough (verbose) tests against the hardware. This variable can be set to min, which
runs a less stringent set of tests against the hardware. A minimum level of POST
testing takes less time, so the Solaris operating environment can boot more quickly
on a machine with diag-level set to min.
To run the maximum amount of POST tests, enter:
ok setenv diag-level max
To run the minimum amount of POST tests, enter:
ok setenv diag-level min

4.5Troubleshooting the System Using the
Alarm Card Software
For information on troubleshooting using the alarm card software, refer to the NetraCT Server System Administration Guide (819-2743-xx).
4.6Troubleshooting a Power Supply Using
the Power Supply Unit LEDs
Two LEDs are on each power supply unit: a green () LED and an amber ()
LED. Use the LEDs on the power supply unit to troubleshoot each power supply
unit. Because there is one power supply unit in the Netra CT 410 server and two
power supply units in the Netra CT 810 server, the actions to take are different. The
following sections provide guidelines for each server.
4.6.1Troubleshooting the Power Supply Unit in the
Netra CT 410 Server
Following are the states of the LEDs on the power supply unit in the Netra CT 410
server:
■ Green, flashing—The power supply unit is in the standby mode; the power
supply unit is powered on, yet it is not supplying power to the server.
■ Green, solid—Both the server and the power supply unit are powered on and
functioning properly.
■ Amber—A fault was found in the power supply unit. Replace the power supply
unit. See Section 10.2, “Cold-Swappable Power Supply Unit” on page 10-5 for
those instructions.
■ Off—One of the following conditions apply:
■ The power supply locking mechanism is in the upper, unlocked position.
■ The accompanying cable is disconnected from the power distribution unit.
■ The accompanying power distribution unit failed.
■ The power supply unit failed.
4-18Netra CT Server Service Manual • February 2007
Page 69
4.6.2Troubleshooting the Power Supply Units in the
Netra CT 810 Server
When both power supply units in a Netra CT 810 server are up and running
properly, the green ()LEDs on both power supply units is ON (note that these are
the LEDs on the power supply units themselves, not the LEDs on the system status
panel).
If a power supply unit fails, the amber () LED on the power supply unit might
light, depending on the type of failure that occurs:
■ If a soft-fault occurs, such as a stuck fan or a temperature warning, a notification
of the error is given; however, the amber () LED on the power supply unit
does not light for a soft-fault condition. The power supply unit is still supplying
power to the system during a soft-fault condition.
■ If a hard-fault occurs, such as a voltage problem, a notification of the error is
given. In addition, the amber () LED on the power supply unit does light for a
hard-fault condition. The power supply unit does not supply power to the system
during a hard-fault condition.
If one power supply unit fails (either a soft-fault or a hard-fault), but the other
power supply unit is still functioning normally, replace the faulty power supply unit
as soon as possible. If both power supply units fail, the action to take varies
depending on which of the two types of faults occurred:
IfThen
Both power supply units go through a soft-fault Replace one power supply unit at a time, in
order to keep the system up and running.

● Make sure the CPU board is installed properly.
■ If the CPU board is a host Netra CP2140 or satellite Netra CP2160 and both the
Ready and Alarm LEDs on the CPU board are green, the board is partially
functional and capable of running POST (power on self-test). However, if none of
the LEDs is green, the board is not functional. In this case, contact your Sun
supplier or field service engineer.
Chapter 4 Troubleshooting the System4-23
Page 74
■ If the CPU board is a host or satellite Netra CP2500 and the Ready LED is green
and the Alarm LEDs is either off or amber, the board is partially functional and
capable of running POST (power on self-test). If the LEDs are not green and either
off or amber, the board is not functional. In this case, contact your Sun supplier or
field service engineer.
4.7.6Failures Subsequent to Power-On
Symptom
Cannot connect successfully to a TTY serial port; there are no POST messages and
unable to send keyboard input.
Action
1. Check the TTY cable for proper setup.
2. If you do not see any output after connecting the TTY terminal to the rear
transition module, remove the terminal, then connect it to the COM port of the
CPU board and try again.

5.1Understanding Hot-Swap
Certain FRUs in the Netra CT server are hot-swappable (see Section 1.3.1, “Hot-
Swappable FRUs” on page 1-4). Hot-swap, a key feature of the PICMG standard,
means that a CompactPCI board that meets the PICMG standard can be reliably
inserted into or extracted from a powered and operating CompactPCI platform
without affecting the other functions of the platform.
The Netra CT system hot-swap modes are listed in
TABLE 5-1Netra CT System Hot-Swap Modes
Type of Hot-SwapDescription
BasicThe hardware connection/disconnection process is performed
automatically by the hardware, while the software connection
process requires user assistance through the cfgadm (1M)
command.
FullBoth the hardware and the software connection process are
performed automatically.
High AvailabilityHigh-availability hot-swap provides the ability to control the
hardware connection process. This provides a higher degree of
control than just indicating insertion and extraction of a board. The
hardware connection process is controlled by software on highavailability systems, such as the Netra CT server.
TABLE 5-1.
The Netra CT system is configured for full hot-swap by default. You can change the
mode of the slot for the CPU boards and I/O boards to basic or full hot-swap using
the cfgadm(1M) command. You might want to change the hot-swap state of a slot to
basic, for example, if you need to insert or remove a third-party I/O board that does
not have full hot-swap support.
Note that whenever you reboot or power your server on and off, hot-swap reverts
back to the default full hot-swap state for all I/O slots.

5.1.1How High-Availability Hot-Swap Works
By default, a Netra CT server is configured to accept any cPCI FRU unless you
specifically set an allowable plug-in for a slot (refer to the Netra CT Server SystemAdministration Guide for more information.)
When a board is inserted into a Netra CT server, the alarm card checks the midplane
FRU ID information for allowable FRUs for that slot, then checks the inserted
board’s FRU ID to make sure the board is allowed in the particular slot. If the board
is allowed in the slot, the alarm card powers up the board. If the board is not
allowed in the slot, the alarm card sends an SNMP trap to the MOH application.
If a host or satellite board is in use (has applications currently running), the alarm
card CLI power commands, such as poweron or poweroff, do not work for that
board.
5.1.2Hot-swap with Boards That Do Not Have Full
Hot-swap
You might want to change the hot-swap state of a slot from full to basic if you need
to insert or remove a third-party I/O board that does not have full hot-swap
support.
To determine the current hot-swap state of a slot, use the prtconf(1M) command.
To enable or disable the hot-swap on a slot, use the cfgadm (1M) command. For
many cfgadm commands, you must know the attachment-point ID for the I/O slot
that you are changing the state.
5.1.3System Status Panel LED States and Meanings
The LEDs on the system status panel give you information to determine what state a
board is in and if it is safe to remove the board from the system. See
more information.

example, a fault was detected on
the board).
Wait several seconds to see if the green Power LED
stops blinking. If it does not stop blinking after
several seconds, enter cfgadm and verify that the
board is in the unconfigured state, then perform
the necessary action, depending on the board:
• Alarm card—You can remove the alarm card in
this state.
• All other boards—Power off the slot through the
alarm card software, then remove the board.
OnOnThe board is powered on and is
in use, but a fault has been
detected on the board.
Deactivate the board using one of the following
methods:
• Use the cfgadm -f -c unconfigure command
to deactivate the board. In some cases, this might
cause the system to panic, depending on the
nature of the board hardware or software.
• Halt the system and power off the slot through
the alarm card software, then remove the board.
The green Power LED gives status information:
• If the green Power LED goes off, remove the
board.
• If the green Power LED remains on, halt the
system and power off the slot through the alarm
card software.

5.2Using the cfgadm Utility
You can perform the following hot-swap procedures using the cfgadm utility:
■ Deactivate and activate hot-swappable FRUs
■ Enable and disable full hot-swap for I/O slots in a server
■ Enable and disable basic hot-swap for I/O slots in a server
5.2.1Logging In to the Netra CT Server
To use the cfgadm utility, you must be able to log in to the server either remotely,
where you would log in to the Netra CT server as superuser through another server
on the network, or directly, where you would connect a terminal console directly to
your Netra CT server.
For more information on connecting a terminal console to your system, see
Appendix B.
5.2.2Running the cfgadm Utility
For all cfgadm commands, you must know the attachment-point ID for the I/O slot
that you are changing state. To list the attachment-point IDs for the slots in a server,
log in to the server and, as superuser, enter the following command:
# cfgadm
For a Netra CT 810 server, output similar to the following is displayed:
To view the man page for the cfgadm utility, enter man cfgadm at the prompt.
5.2.3Basic and Full Hot-Swap cfgadm Commands
The Netra CT servers are set to full hot-swap by default. Full hot-swap on an I/O
slot means that you do not need to manually deactivate or activate the I/O board
when replacing it in the server; those processes are handled automatically.
■ To determine the current hot-swap state for all of the I/O slots in your Netra CT
server, go to “Determining the Current Hot-Swap State” on page 7.
■ To change default settings for one or more I/O slots in your Netra CT server to
basic hot-swap, go to “Enabling Basic Hot-Swap on I/O Slots” on page 8.
■ To change settings for one or more I/O slots in your Netra CT server back to full
hot-swap, go to “Enabling Full Hot-Swap on I/O Slots” on page 9.

5.2.3.1Determining the Current Hot-Swap State
To determine the current hot-swap state for the I/O slots, as superuser, enter:
# prtconf -v -P
For a Netra CT 810 server, output similar to the following is displayed:
■ If you see value ’basic’ underneath the default-hotswap-mode line, then
all of the I/O slots in the Netra CT server are set to basic hot-swap. The entry
value ’disabled’ is shown for every I/O slot in the system in this state.
Chapter 5 Hot-Swap Software Commands5-7
Page 96
■ If you see value ’full’ underneath the default-hotswap-mode line, then at
least one of the I/O slots in the Netra CT server is set to full hot-swap. You must
look at the entries for individual I/O slots to determine if they are set to basic or
full hot-swap mode:
■ If you see value ’enabled’ underneath a <slot#-autoconfig> line, then
that slot is set to full hot-swap.
■ If you see value ’disabled’ underneath a <slot#-autoconfig> line, then
that slot is set to basic hot-swap.
5.2.3.2Enabling Basic Hot-Swap on I/O Slots
All of the I/O slots in the Netra CT server are set to full hot-swap by default. You
can disable full hot-swap on one or more I/O slots, bringing those slots to a basic
hot-swap state. That means that if an I/O board becomes faulty and needs replacing,
you must manually deactivate the I/O slot using the cfgadm utility before you can
remove the board, then you must manually reactivate the I/O slot after replacing the
board.
To disable full hot-swap on one or more I/O slots, changing those slots to a basic
hot-swap state, as superuser, by enter:
# cfgadm -x disable_autoconfig ap_id
Note – Whenever you reboot or power your server on and off, the hot-swap states
revert back to the default full hot-swap state for all I/O slots. If you want one or
more I/O slots set to the basic hot-swap setting, you must manually reset the I/O
slots after rebooting or powering your server on and off.
Deactivating a Hot-Swappable FRU
To deactivate an I/O board in a basic hot-swap state, as superuser, enter:
# cfgadm -c unconfigure ap_id
where ap_id is the attachment-point ID. For example, to deactivate an I/O board in
slot 4, as superuser, enter:
# cfgadm -c unconfigure IO-4
5-8Netra CT Server Service Manual • February 2007
Page 97
Reactivating a Hot-Swappable FRU
To connect an I/O board, as superuser, enter:
# cfgadm -c connect ap_id
where ap_id is the attachment-point ID.
To activate an I/O board, as superuser, enter:
# cfgadm -c configure ap_id
where ap_id is the attachment-point ID.
5.2.3.3Enabling Full Hot-Swap on I/O Slots
If you changed the hot-swap states for one or more I/O slots from the default full
hot-swap setting to the basic hot-swap setting, use the cfgadm utility to change the
I/O slots back to the default full hot-swap setting.
To enable full hot-swap for an I/O slot in a Netra CT server, as superuser, enter:
# cfgadm -x enable_autoconfig ap_id
where ap_id is the attachment-point ID of the slot that you want to have full hotswap enabled on. For example, to enable full hot-swap for I/O slot 4, as superuser,
you could enter the following:
# cfgadm -x enable_autoconfig IO-4
To enable full hot-swap on all slots at once, reboot the server, which automatically
reverts settings back to the default full hot-swap for all I/O slots.
