3.1.10Reserving a Domain Configuration Change

Use the addboard(8), deleteboard(8), or moveboard(8) command to reserve a domain configuration change.

A domain configuration change is reserved when a system board cannot be added, deleted, or moved immediately for operational reasons. The reserved addition, deletion, or move of the system board is executed when the power of the target domain is turned on or off, or the domain rebooted.

If a system board is placed in the system board pool, a domain configuration change can be reserved to assign the system board to the intended domain in advance, preventing the system board from being acquired by another domain.

To reserve the addition of a system board to a domain, use the addboard(8) command with the -c reserve option specified. The system board will be added to the domain when the domain power is turned on, the domain is rebooted, or the next time the addboard(8) command with the -c configure option specified is executed.

For details about the addboard(8) command, see Section 3.1.6, “Adding a System Board” on page 3-15.

To reserve the deletion of a system board from a domain, use the deleteboard(8) command with the -c reserve option specified. The system board will be deleted from the domain when the domain power is turned off, the domain is rebooted, or the next time the deleteboard(8) command with the -c disconnect or -c unassign option specified is executed. For details about the deleteboard(8) command, see Section 3.1.7, “Deleting a System Board” on page 3-17.

To reserve a system board move in a domain to another domain, use the moveboard(8) command with the -c reserve option specified. The system board will be deleted from the move-source domain and moved to the move-destination domain when the power of the move-source domain is turned off, the move- destination domain is rebooted, or the next time the moveboard(8) command with the -c configure or -c assign option specified is executed.

For details about the moveboard(8) command, see Section 3.1.8, “Moving a System Board” on page 3-19.
