Chapter 4 FRU Replacement Preparation 4-3
■ Hot replacement
A target FRU is operated while the domain to which the FRU belongs is stopped.
Depending on the target FRU, there are two cases as follows:
■ Power supply unit/Fan unit: operated with XSCF commands.
■ Hard disk drive: operated directly, not by using XSCF commands.
■ Cold replacement
After all the domains are stopped and then the server is powered off, a FRU is
operated.
Note – Do not operate a target FRU while the OpenBoot PROM is running (the ok
prompt is displayed). After stopping the relevant domain (power-off) or starting the
Oracle Solaris OS, operate the target FRU.
TABLE 4-2 lists the access locations and applicable replacement methods for each
FRU.
