If you are installing a PCIe, Fibre Channel adapter, it is now ready to be attached to a SAN and have LUNs
assigned to the Virtual I/O Server for virtualization.
Replacing a PCIe adapter
Before you begin
Prerequisite: Before you can remove or replace a storage adapter, you must unconfigure that adapter.
See "Unconfiguring storage adapters" on page 74 for instructions.
About this task
To replace a PCIe adapter with the system power turned on in Virtual I/O Server, complete the following
steps:
Procedure
1. From the PCIe Hot Plug Manager, select Unconfigure a Device, then press Enter.
2. Press F4 (or Esc +4) to display the Device Names menu.
3. Select the adapter you are removing in the Device Names menu.
4. In the Keep Definition field, use the Tab key to answer Yes. In the Unconfigure Child Devices field,
use the Tab key again to answer YES, then press Enter.
5. Press Enter to verify the information on the ARE YOU SURE screen. Successful unconfiguration is
indicated by the OK message displayed next to the Command field at the top of the screen.
6. Press F4 (or Esc +4) twice to return to the Hot Plug Manager.
7. Select replace/remove PCIe Hot Plug adapter.
8. Select the slot that has the device to be removed from the system.
9. Select replace.
A fast-blinking amber LED located at the back of the machine near the adapter indicates that the slot
has been identified.
10. Press Enter which places the adapter in the action state, meaning it is ready to be removed from the

Unconfiguring storage adapters
About this task
Before you can remove or replace a storage adapter, you must unconfigure that adapter. Storage adapters
are generally parent devices to media devices, such as disk drives or tape drives. Removing the parent
requires that all attached child devices either be removed or placed in the define state.
Unconfiguring a storage adapter involves the following tasks:
• Closing all applications that are using the adapter you are removing, replacing, or moving
• Unmounting file systems
• Ensuring that all devices connected to the adapter are identified and stopped
• Listing all slots that are currently in use or a slot that is occupied by a specific adapter
• Identifying the adapter's slot location
• Making parent and child devices unavailable
• Making the adapter unavailable
