PCI Hot-Plug Manager Access
Attention:
The Linux operating system does not support these hot-plug procedures. Also, Linux does not
support hot-plugging any hot-pluggable PCI adapters. Systems with Linux installed on one or more
partitions must be shut down and powered off before replacing any PCI adapter assigned to a Linux
partition. Follow the non-hot-pluggable adapter procedures when replacing a PCI adapter in any partition
with Linux installed.
The installation instructions for hot-pluggable PCI adapters refer you to these procedures when it is
appropriate to perform them.
Note: A PCI adapter is only hot-pluggable if the PCI adapter supports hot-plug applications. See the PCI
Adapter Placement Reference, order number SA38-0538.
