Performing Node Reconfiguration
If a CMP/memory module pair develops a fault, the server can be reconfigured to
run in a degraded state until the CMP/memory module is replaced. In addition, you
can add CMP/memory module pairs to existing systems. However, adding or
removing CMP/memory modules might affect internal hardware device addresses,
as well as the device address of any external devices attached to the system such as
external disk arrays and devices attached via an External I/O Expansion Unit.
Depending on which CMP/memory module is added or removed, it might be
necessary to manually reassign one or more I/O devices before they can function
correctly in the new system configuration.
