M5000 Question

Hi i 've a M5000 running 2 domains in my Lab with following hardconf

Code:

SPARC Enterprise M5000; Memory_Size:128 GB;
    +-----------------------------------+------------+
    |              FRU                  |  Quantity  |

    |         MEM                       |      64    |
    |             Type:2B; Size:2 GB;   |   (  64)   |
    |     DDC_A                         |       4    |
    |     DDC_B                         |       2    |
    | IOU                               |       2    |
    |     DDC_A                         |       2    |
    |     DDCR                          |       2    |
    |         DDC_B                     |       2    |
    | XSCFU                             |       1    |
    | OPNL                              |       1    |
    | PSU                               |       4    |
    | FANBP_C                           |       1    |
    |     FAN_A                         |       4    |
    +-----------------------------------+------------+

Now i want to partition the 2nd domain further to create a 3rd domain with equal resources on both 2nd and 3rd. For that i set the XSB to quad mode and created the 3rd domin. But now the 3rd domain does not have any network interface and no HDD and the 2nd domain has been deprived of HBA cards. Is it possible to move one HBA card from 3rd to second domain and one network interface from 2nd to 3rd domain ?

Let me know if i some needs more info on this.

Code:

XSCF> showboards -a
XSB  DID(LSB) Assignment  Pwr  Conn Conf Test    Fault
---- -------- ----------- ---- ---- ---- ------- --------
00-0 00(00)   Assigned    y    y    y    Passed  Normal
01-0 01(01)   Assigned    y    y    y    Passed  Normal
01-1 02(00)   Assigned    y    n    n    Passed  Normal
01-2 SP       Unavailable y    n    n    Unmount Normal

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.

       install-solaris allows installation of the operating system onto any standalone system. install-solaris loads the software available on the
       installation media. Refer to the  for disk space requirements.

       Refer to the  for more information on the various menus and selections.
