Scsi Hot Swap Manager - IBM H80 User Manual

The Install/Configure Devices Added After IPL function attempts to install the
necessary software packages for any newly added devices. The software installation
media or packages are required for this function.
Standalone Diagnostics have the following restrictions on using the PCI Hot-Plug
Manager:
v Adapters that are replaced must be exactly the same FRU part number as the
adapter being replaced.
v New adapters cannot be added unless a device of the same FRU part number
already exists in the system, because the configuration information for the new
adapter is not known after the Standalone Diagnostics are booted.
v The following functions are not available from the Standalone Diagnostics and will
not display in the list:
– Add a PCI Hot Plug Adapter
– Configure Devices
– Install/Configure Devices Added After IPL
You can run the hot plug task directly from the command line by typing the following
command: diag -d device -T"identifyRemove" However, note that some devices
support both the PCI Hot-Plug task and the RAID Hot-Plug Devices task. If this is the
case for the device specified, then the Hot Plug Task displays instead of the PCI Hot
Plug Manager menu.

SCSI Hot Swap Manager

This task allows the user to identify, add, remove, and replace a SCSI device in a
system unit that uses a SCSI Enclosure Services (SES) device. The following functions
are available:
v List the SES Devices
v Identify a Device Attached to an SES Device
v Attach a Device to an SES Device
v Replace/Remove a Device Attached to an SES Device
v Configure Added/Replaced Devices
The List the SES Devices function lists all the SCSI hot-swap slots and their contents.
Status information about each slot is also available. The status information available
includes the slot number, device name, whether the slot is populated and configured,
and location.
The Identify a Device Attached to an SES Device function is used to help identify the
location of a device attached to a SES device. This function lists all the slots that
support hot swap that are occupied or empty. When a slot is selected for identification,
the visual indicator for the slot is set to the Identify state.
