Existing Domain
1. If necessary, upgrade to a version of Solaris OS that supports SPARC64 VII
processors.
Note – The SPARC64 VII processors are supported by the XCP firmware (beginning
with XCP 1070) and Solaris software. For more information about these minimum
software and firmware requirements, see the latest version of the Product Notes (no
earlier than the XCP 1070 edition) for your server.
2. Log in to the XSCF using an account with platadm privileges.
3. Confirm that no FRU is currently listed in Faulted or Deconfigured status.
4. Turn off the power for all the domains.
5. Confirm that the power is off for the domains.
