TABLE 3-13Options of the addboard Command (Continued)

Option

Description

 

 

 

-h

 

Displays the usage information.

-c

configure

Specifies that the command add a system board to the domain. If no

 

 

other -coption is specified, -c configure is the default.

-c

assign

Specifies that the command assign a system board to the domain.

 

 

With this option specified, the command assigns the target system

 

 

board to the domain. The assigned system board is added to the

 

 

domain when the addboard(8) command with the -c configure

 

 

option specified is executed, and then the domain power is turned on

 

 

or the domain rebooted.

-c

reserve

Specifies that the command reserve the addition of a system board to

 

 

the domain.

 

 

With this option specified, the command executes the same

 

 

processing as for the -c assign option, and it assigns the target

 

 

system board to the domain. The assigned system board is added to

 

 

the domain when the addboard(8) command with the -c

 

 

configure option specified is executed, and then the domain power

 

 

is turned on or the domain is rebooted.

-ddomain_id

Specifies the domain ID of the domain to add a system board, where

 

 

domain_id is the domain number, possibly 0 to 23, depending on

 

 

server model. Only one domain ID can be specified.

xsb

 

Specifies the system board (XSB) number of the system board to be

 

 

added.

Specify xsb in the XX-Yformat. (XX = 00 to 15, Y = 0 to 3). The value depends on server model. To specify multiple system boards, several XSB numbers can be specified by delimiting each with a space.

Note – (Note 1) In the system board addition processing executed by this command, a diagnosis of the system board to be added is performed first, and then the system board is added to the target domain. For this reason, much time may be required for the command to complete its operation.

Note – (Note 2) If DR processing by the addboard(8) command fails, the target system board cannot be restored to its previous status. You must identify the cause of failure based on the error message output by the addboard(8) command and Solaris OS messages, and then take appropriate corrective action. Note that some errors require the domain to be rebooted.
