<title>Dynamic Reconfiguration (DR) Architecture</title>
<para>Dynamic Reconfiguration (DR) is the capability of a system to adapt to
changes in the hardware/firmware physical or logical configuration, and to be
able to use the new configuration, all without having to turn the platform
power off or restart the OS. This section will define the requirements for
systems that support DR operations.</para>

<title>DR Architecture Structure</title>
<para>
<xref linkend="dbdoclet.50569342_22277" /> shows the relationship of the DR
architecture with LoPAR and the relationship of the individual DR pieces
with the base DR architecture. Each specific DR option (for example, PCI
Hot Plug) will have a piece that sits on top of the base DR option. The
base DR option is the set of requirements that will be implemented by all
DR platforms and that will be utilized by the OS that supports any of the
specific DR options. The specific DR options will call out the base DR
option requirements as being required. Therefore, in the figure, any
specific DR option is really that specific DR option piece plus the base DR
option. The base DR option is not a stand-alone option; a platform which
supports the base DR option without one or more of the specific DR option
pieces that sit on top of it, has not implemented the DR architecture to a
level that will provide any DR function to the user. Likewise, a DR entity
will meet the requirements of at least one of the specific DR options, or
else software is not required to support it as a DR entity. Thus, the base
DR option is the common building block and structure upon which all other
specific DR options are built.</para>
<para>DR operations can be physical or logical. Currently the only physical
DR entities are PCI Hot Plug. That is, the OS only has control over the
physical DR operations on PCI IOAs. The current direction for hot plug of
other DR entities is to do the physical hot plug (power up/down, control of
service indicators, etc.) via the HMC and to bring the entity into usage by
an OS via logical DR operations (Logical Resource DR -- LRDR). The PCI Hot
Plug DR option can be found in
<xref linkend="dbdoclet.50569342_47470" />. The Logical Resource Dynamic
Reconfiguration option can be found in
<xref linkend="dbdoclet.50569342_75053" />. It is expected that as time
goes on, the base DR option may be expanded upon by addition of other DR
options.</para>

</entry>
<entry>
<para>The base on which all of the specific DR options are built.
Specific DR options include, for example, the PCI Hot Plug DR
option, processor card DR option, etc. These specific DR options
each include the requirement that all the base DR option
requirements be met. See

<para>Dynamic Reconfiguration (DR)</para>
</entry>
<entry>
<para>The capability of a system to adapt to changes in the
hardware/firmware configuration with the power on and the OS
operating, and to be able to use the new configuration. This is a
piece of the High Availability puzzle, but only one of the
pieces.</para>
<para>Addition, removal, and replacement may, in general, be done
with the power on or off on the connector into which the entity
is being added or removed. For the PCI Hot Plug option, the power
to the slot is turned off and the logic signals are electrically
isolated from the connector during the plug or unplug
operation.</para>

<entry>
<para>Refers to a method where a tree structure (for example, a

<para>DR Connector (DRC)</para>
</entry>
<entry>
<para>The term &#8220;DR connector&#8221; will be used here to
define the plug-in point for the entity that is participating in
DR. For example, a &#8216;slot&#8217; into which a PCI IOA is
inserted is a DRC.</para>

<para>High Availability (HA) System</para>
</entry>
<entry>
<para>A system that gives the customer &#8220;close&#8221; to
continuous availability, but allows for some system down-time.
Besides DR, other factors that need to be considered in the
design of an HA system include system partitioning, clustering,
redundancy, error recovery, failure prediction, Error Detection
and Fault Isolation (EDFI), software failure detection/recovery,
etc.</para>

<para>I/O Adapter (IOA)</para>
</entry>
<entry>
<para>A device which attaches to a physical bus which is capable
of supporting I/O (a physical IOA) or logical bus (a virtual IOA)
and which has its own separate set of resources is referred to as
an IOA. The term &#8220;IOA&#8221; without the usage of the
qualifier &#8220;physical&#8221; or &#8220;virtual&#8221; will be
used to designate a physical IOA. Virtual IOAs are defined
further in
<xref linkend="dbdoclet.50569348_71217" />. Resources which must
have the capability of being separate (from other devices)
include: MMIO Load/Store address spaces, configuration address
spaces, DMA address spaces, power domains, error domains,
interrupt domains, and reset domains. Note that the hardware of
an IOA may allow for separation of these resources but the
platform or system implementation may limit the separation (for
example, shared error domains). In PCI terms, an IOA may be
defined by a unique combination of its assigned bus number and
device number, but not including its function number; an IOA may
be a single or multi-function device, unless otherwise specified
by the context of the text. Examples include LAN and SCSI IOAs. A
PCI IOA may exist as multiple device nodes in the OF device tree;
that is, the OF may treat separate &#8220;functions&#8221; in an
IOA as separate OF device tree nodes.</para>
</entry>
</row>
<row>

<para>IOA: built-in</para>

<para>An IOA that is not pluggable by the user. Sometimes called
integrated I/O. As opposed to an IOA that may be removed as part
of a plug-in card removal (see definition for a plug-in card,
below).</para>

<row>
<entry>
<para>I/O Bus: PCI</para>
</entry>
<entry>
<para>The term &#8220;PCI&#8221; refers to one of: conventional
PCI, PCI-X, or PCI Express. The term &#8220;bus&#8221; in the
case of PCI Express refers to a PCI Express link.</para>
</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry>
<para>I/O Bus: System Bus</para>
</entry>
<entry>
<para>The system bus in a platform is normally used only to
attach CPUs, memory controllers, and Host Bridges to bridge to
I/O buses. A platform&#8217;s system bus may, in certain
circumstances, be used to attach very high speed IOAs. DR of
system bus-attached entities is not considered here.</para>
</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry>
<para>I/O Device</para>
</entry>
<entry>
<para>An entity that is connected to an IOA (usually through a
cable). A SCSI-attached DASD device is an example. Some I/O
devices and their connection points to the IOAs are designed to
be plugged while the connection point is operational to the other
I/O devices connected to the same IOA, and some are not. For
example, while the SCSI bus was not initially designed to have
devices added and removed while the SCSI bus was operational,
different vendors have found ways to do so. For example,
SCSI-attached DASD is pluggable and unpluggable from the SCSI bus
in some platforms.</para>
</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry>
<para>Live Insertion</para>
</entry>
<entry>
<para>A DR operation where the power remains on at the DR
connector. Live insertion entities are always powered unless the
machine power is shut off or unless a subsystem containing those
entities is shut off.</para>

<para>PCI Hot Plug</para>
</entry>
<entry>
<para>DR for PCI plug-in cards where there is a separate power
domain for each PCI Hot Plug slot. Platforms which do not provide
individual control of power and isolation for each PCI slot but
which do provide power and isolation control for groups of PCI
slots (that is, multiple slots per power domain), do not provide
&#8220;PCI Hot Plug,&#8221; but can support PCI DR.</para>

<title>Architectural Limitations</title>
<para>The DR architecture places a few limitations on the implementations.
Current architectural limitations include:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>DR operations will be user initiated at the software level before
any physical plugging or unplugging of hardware is performed. This
architecture will be flexible enough to add additional methods for invoking
the process in the future, but for the initial architecture it will be
assumed that the operation is invoked by the user via a software method
(for example, invoking an OS DR services program). It is expected that some
technologies which will be added in the future will allow
plugging/unplugging without the user first informing the software (for
example, P1394 and USB).</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Critical system resources cannot be removed via a DR operation.
Which system resources are critical will not be defined by this
architecture; it is expected that this determination will be made by the OS
implementation and/or architecture. Loss of a critical resource would stop
the system from operating.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Many of the RTAS calls will need to work properly, independent of
what is powered-off (for example, NVRAM access must work during DR
operations). This is partially encompassed by the last bullet. For more
information, see
<xref linkend="dbdoclet.50569342_98936" />.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Any special requirements relative to redundant power supplies or
cooling are not addressed here.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Moving of a DR entity from one location to another in a platform is
supported through a &#8220;remove and add&#8221; methodology rather than a
specific architecture which defines the constructs necessary to allow
moving of pieces of the platform around.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para><emphasis role="bold">Note:</emphasis> The current AIX implementation does a &#8220;remove and
add&#8221; sequence even when the overall DR operation is a replacement.
That is, first the old entity is removed, and then the new entity is
added.</para>

<section xml:id="dbdoclet.50569342_69828">
<title>Dynamic Reconfiguration State Transitions</title>
<para>
<xref linkend="dbdoclet.50569342_17600" /> shows the states and transitions
for the dynamic reconfiguration entities (DR Entities). The transition
between states is initiated by a program action (RTAS functions) provided
the conditions for the transition are met.</para>
<para>
<emphasis role="bold">Note:</emphasis> Relative to
<xref linkend="dbdoclet.50569342_17600" />, physical DRC types are brought
in to the &#8220;owned by the OS&#8221; states either: (1) by the Device
Tree at boot time, or (2) by a DLPAR operation, which brings in the logical
DRC &#8220;above&#8221; the physical DRC first, and drags the physical in
as part of transferring from state 3 to state 4. Therefore no states appear
in the &#8220;owned by platform&#8221; section under Hot Plug DR in the
figure. So, for example, the DLPAR assignment of a PCI physical slot to an
OS is done by assigning the logical SLOT DRC above the physical PCI slot,
thus giving the following state transitions: state 1, to state 2, to state
3, to state 4, at which time the OS sees the physical slot, sees an IOA in
the physical slot (via
<emphasis>get-sensor-state</emphasis> (dr-entity-sense) of the physical DRC
returning &#8220;present&#8221;), and then proceeds with the state
transitions of: state 5, to state 6, to state 7, to state 8. The reverse of
this (DLPAR removal of the PCI slot) is: state 8, to state 6, to state 5,
to state 4, to state 2, to state 1.</para>

<title>Base DR Option</title>
<section xml:id="dbdoclet.50569342_98936">
<title>For All DR Options - Platform Requirements</title>
<para>This section contains the extra requirements placed on
the platform for all of the various DR configurations.</para>
<para>At this time, there are no provisions made in the DR architecture
for unexpected removal of hardware or insertion of hardware into a DR
connector. Therefore the user is expected to interact with the DR
software prior to changing the hardware configuration. For example, it is
expected that most systems will require a keyboard action prior to the
hardware configuration change. Future architecture might allow for other
possibilities. For example, a push-button switch at the DR connector may
be provided which causes an interrupt to the OS to signal that an
operation is about to take place on the connector<footnote xml:id="pgfId-546764">
<para>The push-button method is one that has been mentioned as a
possible enhancement for systems that are produced for telephone
company applications.</para>
</footnote>.</para>
<para>As mentioned in
<xref linkend="dbdoclet.50569342_51213" />, the requirements in this

hardware design and platform structure to assure that no resources
critical to RTAS are put into power domains that are powered down as part
of a DR operation. In addition, the platform is required to provide the

visual indicator where the user could readily see it, which is basically
a logical &#8220;or&#8221; of the visual indicators which are out of

indicator on the front of the drawer that indicates if any indicators on
the back of the drawer are flashing. This summary indicator will not be
accessed by the software (that is, will be transparent to the software)

<para>This RTAS call is defined as shown in
<xref linkend="dbdoclet.50569332_27587" />. This RTAS call is used in DR to transition
between isolation states, allocation states, and control DR indicators.
In some cases, a state transition fails due to various conditions,
however, a null transition (commanding that the new state be what it
already is) always succeeds. As a consequence, this RTAS call is used in
all DR sequences to logically (and if necessary physically) isolate and
unisolate the connection between a DR entity and the platform. If
physical isolation is indeed required for the DR entity, this RTAS call
determines the necessity for isolation, not the calling program.</para>
<para>The
<emphasis>set-indicator</emphasis> allocation-state and
<emphasis>set-indicator</emphasis> isolation-state are linked. Before
calling
<emphasis>set-indicator</emphasis> with isolation-state set to unisolate,

-2 or 990x. A status code of -2 indicates that RTAS may be capable of
doing useful processing immediately. A status code of 990x indicates that
the platform requires an extended period of time, and hints at how much
time will be required before completion status can be obtained. Neither
the 990x nor the -2 status codes imply that the platform has initiated

<para>This indicator must be implemented for DR connectors for

An isolate operation makes the DR entity available to the

IOA, logically disconnects the DR entity from the platform (for
example, from the PCI bus). Unisolate refers to the DR action
to logically connect the entity. Before

the DR entity being unisolated must first be allocated to the

<title><emphasis>ibm,configure-connector</emphasis> RTAS Call</title>
<para>The RTAS function
<emphasis>ibm,configure-connector</emphasis> is a new RTAS call introduced
by DR and is used to configure a DR entity after it has been added by
either an add or replace operation. It is expected that the
<emphasis>ibm,configure-connector</emphasis> RTAS routine will have to be
called several times to complete the configuration of a dynamic
reconfiguration connector, due to the time required to complete the
entire configuration process. The work area contains the intermediate
state that RTAS needs to retain between calls. The work area consists of
4096 byte pages of real storage on 4096 byte boundaries which can be
increased by one page on each call. The OS may interleave calls to
<emphasis>ibm,configure-connector</emphasis> for different dynamic
reconfiguration connectors, however, a separate work area will be
associated with each dynamic reconfiguration connector which is actively
being configured. Other standard RTAS locking rules apply.</para>
<para>The properties generated by the
<emphasis>ibm,configure-connector</emphasis> call are dependent on the
type of DR entities. For a list of properties generated, see the RTAS
Requirements section for each specific DR option. For example, for a list
of properties generated for PCI Hot Plug, see

immediately returns &#8220;-9003: Cannot configure - Logical DR connector
unusable&#8221; on the first call without any configuration action taken
on the DR connector.</para>
<para>A dynamic reconfiguration connector may attach several sibling OF
device tree architected devices. Each such device may be the parent of
one or more device sub-trees. The

reports the entire sub-tree of devices rooted in previously unconfigured
architected devices found below the connector whose index is specified in
the first entry of the work area, except those that are associated with
an empty or unowned dynamic reconfiguration connector; where unowned
refers to a DR connector that would return a DR entity unusable, a DR

available for recovery value, for a

proceeds in a depth first order.</para>
<para>If the
<emphasis>ibm,configure-connector</emphasis> RTAS routine returns with the
&#8220;call again&#8221; or 990x status, configuration is proceeding but
had to be suspended to maintain the short execution time requirement of
RTAS routines. No results are available. The OS should call the
<emphasis>ibm,configure-connector</emphasis> RTAS routine passing back the
work area unmodified at a later time to continue the configuration
process.</para>
<para>If the
<emphasis>ibm,configure-connector</emphasis> RTAS routine returns with a

<emphasis>ibm,configure-connector</emphasis> call, the OS will supply, via
the
<emphasis>Memory extent</emphasis> parameter, the address of another page
of memory for RTAS to add to the work area in order for configuration to
continue. On all other calls to
<emphasis>ibm,configure-connector</emphasis> the contents of the
<emphasis>Memory extent</emphasis> parameter should be 0. It is the
responsibility of the OS to recover all work area memory after a sequence
of

<emphasis role="bold">Architecture Note:</emphasis> During a DR replace operation, the
replacement PCI IOA may not get placed back at the same addresses, etc.,
as the original DR entity by the firmware (although it has to be placed
back into the same DR connector, or it is not a DR replace operation). On
a replace operation, the configuration information cannot reliably be
read from the IOA being replaced (the IOA might be broken), so the
firmware cannot read the configuration information from the old IOA and
replace the configuration information into the new IOA.</para>
<para>PCI I/O sub-systems architecturally consist of two classes of
devices, bus bridges (Processor Host Bridges (PHBs), PCI to PCI Bridges,
and PCI Express switches and bridges) and IOAs. The support that
<emphasis>ibm,configure-connector</emphasis> provides for these two
classes is different.</para>
<para>For Bus Bridges, firmware will totally configure the bridge so that
it can probe down the depth of the tree. For this reason, the firmware
must include support for all bridges the platform supports. This includes
interrupt controllers as well as miscellaneous unarchitected devices that
do not appear in the OF device tree. The properties supported and
reported are the same as provided by the boot time firmware.</para>
<para>For PCI plug-in cards, the support is significantly less; it is
essentially the functionality specified in section 2.5 FCode Evaluation
Semantics of the
<xref linkend="dbdoclet.50569387_22451" />. However, the configuration
proceeds as if all devices do not have an expansion ROM since the RTAS
code does not attempt to determine if an FCode ROM is present nor
attempts to execute it. This may, in some cases, generate different
device node properties, values and methods than would happen had the IOA
been configured during boot. If the IOA&#8217;s device driver or
configuration support cannot deal with such differences, then the IOA is
not dynamically reconfigurable. The other properties generated are
dependent upon the IOA&#8217;s configuration header from the following
list. If the property is not on this list the reader should assume that
RTAS
<emphasis>ibm,configure-connector</emphasis> will not generate it.</para>

<title>Logical Resource Dynamic Reconfiguration (LRDR)</title>
<para>The Logical Resource Dynamic Reconfiguration option allows a platform
to make available and recover platform resources such as CPUs, Memory
Regions, Processor Host Bridges, and I/O slots to/from its operating OS
image(s). The Logical Resource Dynamic Reconfiguration option provides the
means for providing capacity on demand to the running OS and provides the
capability for the platform to make available spare parts (for example,
CPUs) to replace failing ones (called
<emphasis>sparing</emphasis> operations). Combined with the LPAR option,
platforms can move resources between partitions without rebooting the
partitions&#8217; OS images.</para>
<para>The Logical Resource Dynamic Reconfiguration (LRDR) option deals with
logical rather than physical resources. These logical resources are already
physically installed (dynamic installation/removal of these resources, if
supported, is managed via the Hardware Management Console (HMC) or Service
Focal Point (SFP)). As such, the OS does not manage either connector power
or DR visual indicators. Logical connector power domains are specified as
&#8220;hot pluggable&#8221; (value -1) and DR visual indicators are not
defined for logical connectors.</para>
<para>The device tree contains logical resource DR connectors for the
maximum number of resources that the platform can allocate to the specific
OS. In some cases such as for processors and PHBs, this may be the maximum
number of these resources that the platform supports even if there are
fewer than that currently installed. In other cases, such as memory regions
in a LPARed system, the number may be limited to the amount of memory that
can be supported without resizing the cpu page frame table. The OS may use
the
<emphasis>get-sensor-state</emphasis> RTAS call with the dr-entity-sense
token to determine if a given drc-index refers to a connector that is
currently usable for DR operations. If the connector is not currently
usable the return state is &#8220;DR entity unusable&#8221; (2). A
<emphasis>set-indicator</emphasis> (isolation state) RTAS call to an
unusable connector or (dr-indicator) to any logical resource connector
results in a &#8220;No such indicator implemented&#8221; return
status.</para>
<para>Two allocation models are supported. In the first, resources are
specifically assigned to one and only one partition at a time by the HMC.
In this model, a DR entity state is changed from unusable to usable only by
firmware in response to HMC requests to explicitly move the allocation of
the resource between partitions. In the second model, certain resources may
&#8220;float&#8221; between cooperating partitions, a partition issues a
<emphasis>set-indicator</emphasis> (allocation state usable) RTAS call and
if the resource is free, the firmware assigns the resource to the
requesting partition and returns the success status.
<emphasis>Set-indicator</emphasis> returns the code
&#8220;no-such-indicator&#8221; if either the resource is not free, or the
platform is operating in the first model. To return a resource to the
platform firmware, the OS issues a
<emphasis>set-indicator</emphasis> (allocation state unusable) RTAS call for
the resource&#8217;s DR connector.</para>

<title>Isolation of Coherent Platform Facilities</title>
<para>Isolation of a Coherent Platform Facility (COPLATFAC) disconnects the OS
image from any of the DR connectors downstream (Coherent Platform Functions or
COPLATFUN) of the Coherent Platform Facility. To avoid the complex- ity of
gracefully managing multi-level isolation, isolation is restricted to only
“leaf” DR connectors, that is connectors that have no unisolated or usable DR
connectors below them. All COPLATFUN connectors must return unusable state (2)
during get-sensor-state before a COPLATFAC can be isolated, this is done through
set-indicator (isolation-state, isolate). The OS is responsible for removing all
memory mappings and detaching all processes potentially in use by co- herent
platform functions. If valid mappings or processes are found, the set-indicator
does not change the isolation state and returns with a Status -9001 (Valid
outstanding translation).</para>
