Chapter 3 System Controller Alphabetical Command Reference 17
Description
Assigns system_board_name to the specified domain within the platform shell or to
the current domain. The board state must be Available. To display the board state, use
the showboards command. For more information on board states, see “Board States
for CPU/Memory Boards and I/O Assemblies” on page 6.
To assign a board to a domain using a domain shell, the board name must be listed
in the Access Control List (ACL) for the current domain. When a board is listed in
the ACL, the system controller software is allowed to process addboard requests on
that board. The platform shell does not use the ACL and can always add boards to a
domain. The platform shell can also delete boards from a domain and either ignores
the ACL or overrides the ACL. You configure the ACLs and also restrict the domains
a board has access to using the setupplatform command.
If a board is assigned to an active domain, the board will not be used. To unassign a
board from a domain, you must halt the Solaris operating environment in the
domain. For an overview of steps to perform, see the section “Assigning and
Unassigning Boards” in the “Maintenance” chapter of the Sun Fire
6800/4810/4800/3800 Systems Platform Administration Manual.
If a board is not present, the command assigns ownership of the slot to the specified
domain.
