Oracle Solaris OS is running for certain PCIe and PCI-X slots. PCI cards must be
unconfigured and disconnected using the Oracle Solaris cfgadm(1M) command
before the cards can be physically removed. For additional information on PCI
hot-plug operations, refer to the SPARCEnterprise M4000/M5000 Servers Service

Both midrange servers use the XSCF firmware to manage the system. The XSCF
firmware,which is preinstalled on the Service Processor at the factory, enables you to
configure, manage, and maintain system components.

3.2.1 XSCF User Interfaces

The interface for XSCF firmware is the command-line interface (CLI), which is also
calledthe XSCF Shell. The XSCFShell provides the same commands as the XSCF web

be established through a LAN connection or a serial connection.
Youenter XSCF commands through a terminal on the service processor. For
descriptions of the XSCF commands and how they are used, refer to these manuals:
