Backup and Restore Operations
For domain backup and restore operations, see your backup software documentation
for instructions. The Oracle Solaris OS documentation collection also contains
information on backup and restore operations.
Dynamic Reconfiguration
Dynamic reconfiguration allows you to add PSBs to or remove them from midrange
or high-end server domains without stopping the Oracle Solaris OS. DR is not
supported on entry-level servers. You can use dynamic reconfiguration to
redistribute your midrange or high-end server resources by adding or removing
system boards as needed or to replace failed system boards with new ones. For more
information, see the SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 Servers Dynamic
Reconfiguration (DR) User’s Guide and the Service Manual for your server.

▼ To Set CPU Operational Mode
1. Log in to the XSCF console with platadm or domainadm privileges.
2. Execute the setdomainmode command:
where
domain_id
is the domain to which the CPU operational mode is to be
specified, and mode is auto , to automatically determine the CPU operational
mode at domain startup, or compatible, to set the CPU operational mode to the
SPARC64 VI Compatible Mode.
3. Verify the operation with the showdomainmode command.
4. To check the CPU operational mode currently set to the domain, execute the
prtdiag (1M) command on the Oracle Solaris OS.
▼ To Specify XSB Mode on a Midrange or High-
End Server
1. Log in to the XSCF console with platadm or fieldeng privileges.
2. Execute the setupfru command:
where mode is either 1 to specify a Uni-XSB or 4 to specify a Quad-XSB; sb
specifies the system board device, and location is the location of the device, a
number from 0-15.
3. Verify the operation with the showfru command.
▼ To Set Up a Domain Component List for a
Midrange or High-End Server Domain
1. Log in to the XSCF console with platadm privileges.
