CHAPTER 4 Hot Maintenance in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
4.7 Hot Addition of PCI Express cards
- If all the paths in a mounted disk become hidden when an FC card is hot replaced, unmount the disk.
Then, execute PCI hot plug.
FC card addition procedure
The procedure for adding new FC cards and peripherals is as follows.
1. Confirm the slot number of the PCI slot by using the following procedure.
See 'Confirming the slot number of a PCI Express slot' in
in detail".
2. Confirm that power status of the PCI Express slot is off.
See 'Checking the power status of a PCI Express slot' in
in detail".
3. Physically add the target card by using MMB Maintenance Wizard.
For details on the operation of replacement, see step 1 to 7 of 'Operation for Hot replacement of PCI
Express card by Maintenance Wizard' in
4. Reconfigure the peripheral according to its manual.
For example, suppose that the storage device used is ETERNUS and that the host affinity function is
used (to set the access right for each server). Their settings would need to be changed as a result of FC
card replacement.
5. Connect the FC card cable.
6. Power on the PCI Express slot.
See 'Powering on and off PCI Express slots' in
7. Check whether there is an error in added FC card by MMB Maintenance Wizard.
This step is performed by the field engineer in charge of your system.
For details on the operation of replacement, see step 8 to 11 of 'Operation for Hot replacement of PCI
Express card by Maintenance Wizard' in
8. Check the version of the firmware
It is required that the firmware version of new FC card is same as the FC card which had been replaced.
If the firmware version of new FC card is same as the FC card which had been replaced (current firmware
version), it is not necessary to update the firmware version of new FC card to current firmware version.
If the firmware version of new FC card is not same as the FC card which had been replaced (current
firmware version), update the firmware version of new FC card to current firmware version.
For how to update the firmware version, see Firmware update manual for fibre channel card.
Note
If you cannot confirm the firmware version of the FC card before replacing due to the fault of the FC card,
check the firmware version of the FC card which is same type as the faulty one to update firmware
version.
9. Confirm the incorporation results
The method of confirming is the same as that is performed in the replacement of FC card. See
'Confirming the FC card incorporation
procedure'.

4.7.4 Network card addition procedure

NIC (network card) addition using hot plugging needs specific processing before and after PCI slot power-on
or power-off. Its procedure also includes the common PCI Express card addition procedure.
The procedure describes operations where a single NIC is configured as one interface. It also describes
cases where multiple NICs are bonded together to configure one interface (bonding configuration). For
bonding multiple NIC by using PRIMECLUSTER Global Link Services (GLS), see manual of
PRIMECLUSTER Global Link Services.
