25.3.5 CPU Add-on to an Existing CMU as an Upgrade in an
Existing Domain
1. Update the Oracle Solaris OS to the version of minimum requirements which is
described in the Product Notes of the appropriate XCP version, or apply the
mandatory patches.
2. Prior to using an upgraded CPU, apply the appropriate patches to the software in
use, if it is necessary.
3. Log in to XSCF using an account with the platadm and fieldeng administrative
privileges.
4. Use the showstatus(8) command to confirm that a component in Faulted or
Deconfigured status doesn't exist.
If there is no problem, the message of "No failures found in System
Initialization" appears. If case of other messages, contact a certified service
engineer before proceeding to the next step.
5. Power off the domain which is assigned with the existing CMU on which you will
mount the add-on CPU.
6. Confirm that the target domain is shut down.
7. Change the mode switch setting on the operator panel from Locked to Service.
8. Collect an XSCF snapshot to archive the system status prior to update.
This data will be of help, in case any problem occurred during the update.
9. Update the XCP version.
For the firmware updating procedures, see the SPARC Enterprise
M3000/M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 Servers XSCF User’s Guide.
10. After the XCP update is completed, reboot the XSCF via the rebootxscf
command.
11. After the XSCF reset, log in to XSCF again.
