IOU_1GbE/IOU_10GbE
If the DR function (IOU hot remove and IOU hot add) is used, the IOU_1GbE and IOU_10GbE can be
replaced even if the partition that uses the IOU_1GbE/IOU_10GbE is powered on. If the DR function is not
used, then the replacement is possible when the partition that uses the IOU_1GbE/IOU_10GbE is powered
off.
DU
DU can be replaced when the status of the partition that uses the DU to be replaced is powered off.
MMB
In a system with two MMBs installed, hot replacement can be used to replace an MMB when the system
continues operating. Basically, the faulty MMB (Standby MMB) can simply be replaced since a faulty MMB
would have been switched with a standby MMB. To replace the active MMB, switch it with the standby MMB
before replacing it. The replacement does not affect control and monitoring in the system.
