Video - Sun Fire V880/V890 Action Plan: AC Power Cord Replacement (2:10)

Solution

PROBLEM OVERVIEW:
Power Cord failed

WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE RESOLUTION ACTIVITY? :

A data backup is not a pre-requisite but is a wise precaution. The customer is not required to perform a system shutdown.

WHAT ACTION DOES THE CUSTOMER NEED TO TAKE:
The Sun Fire V880/V890 server has N+1 where N=3 redundant power supplies each with its own power cord. You can swap one power cord while the other two are still running. For a non-redundant power supplies configuration, the system should be already powered down before replace the bad power cord.

WHAT ACTION DOES THE CUSTOMER NEED TO TAKE TO RETURN THE SYSTEM TO AN OPERATIONAL STATE:

If the replacement was a hot swap on a redundant configuration, the system should be operational and need no further work.

If the replacement was in a system with a single power source, restart software applications per applicable administration guides to resume system operation.

PARTS NOTE:
Refer to the System Handbook for the country specific type of power cord.
