3.1.6Adding a System Board

Use the addboard(8) command to add a system board to a domain or reserve the addition of a system board to a domain based on the DCL. The system board must already be registered in the target domain’s DCL.

Use the showdcl(8) command to check whether a system board is registered in the DCL. To register a system board in the DCL, use the setdcl(8) command.

Before executing the addboard(8) command, check the status of the DR-target domain and system board. You must determine whether you can perform the DR operation based on the status of the domain and system board.

The following examples show the format and options of the addboard(8) command.

addboard [[-q] -{yn}] [-f] [-v] [-c configure] -d domain_id xsb [...] addboard [[-q] -{yn}] [-f] [-v] -c assign -d domain_id xsb [...] addboard [[-q] -{yn}] [-f] [-v] -c reserve -d domain_id xsb [...] addboard -h
