NAME

dr_cmd_init_attach - initiate DR attach system board operation

SYNOPSIS

dr_cmd_init_attach sb

DESCRIPTION

Caution:

Do not use this command, which runs in the DR shell; it is

dangerous, and is included here only for completeness. Instead, use init_attach(1M), which performs the same functions, but with the added security of safeguards and checks.

dr_cmd_init_attach begins a DR attach board operation. DR does not screen the target domain for intermediate system boards as it does with the init_attach(1M) command and through Hostview.

dr_cmd_init_attach is a low-level command for use only by trained service personnel for diagnosing DR-related system problems. The designated system board should be present, powered-on, and currently in no domain. dr_cmd_init_attach diagnoses, then debuts the system board to the Enterprise 10000 target domain specified via dr_cmd_init(1M) command.

dr_cmd_init_attach adds the system board to the system board list in the SSP's domain_config file. (See domain_config(4) in man Pages(4): Ultra Enterprise 10000 SSP File Formats.) DR then prepares the board's resources (processors, memory, and I/O controllers) for attachment by the operating system, and the Enterprise 10000 server's centerplane is reconfigured such that the board is visible to the target domain.

You must run dr_cmd_init(1M) prior to running dr_cmd_init_attach.

After dr_cmd_init_attach completes successfully, you can execute dr_cmd_c_attach(1M) to complete the attach operation, or dr_cmd_a_attach(1M) to abort it.

OPTIONS

sb

The board number (0 to 15) of the system board to be attached.

EXIT STATUS

If dr_cmd_init_attach succeeds it returns a 0 result code in the dr_return global variable. If it fails, it returns a 1 and displays diagnostic messages.

Note:

Tcl parsing errors prevent DR commands from running which, in turn, leaves dr_return uninitialized. In such cases, the dr_return error code is meaningless. See dr (1M)for more information concerning return codes.

DIAGNOSTICS

See DIAGNOSTICS on init_attach(1M).
