4.8 Removing PCI Express cards

ONBOOT=yes
Note
Adding the bonding interface itself also requires the MASTER interface configuration file of the bonding
configuration.
10. To add a bonding interface, configure the bonding interface driver settings.
If the bonding interface has already been installed, execute the following command to check the
descriptions in the configuration file and confirm the setting corresponding to the bonding interface and
driver.
Example: Description in /etc/modprobe.d/bonding.conf
# grep -l bonding /etc/modprobe.d/*
/etc/modprobe.d/bonding.conf
Note
If the configuration file is not found or if you are performing an initial installation of the bonding interface,
create a configuration file with an arbitrary file name with the ".conf" extension (e.g., /etc/modprobe.d/
bonding.conf) in the /etc/modprobe.d directory).
After specifying the target configuration file, add the setting for the newly created bonding interface.
alias bondY bonding
added bonding interface)
You can specify options of the bonding driver in this file. Normally, the BONDING_OPTS line in each
ifcfg- bondY file is used. Options can be specified to the bonding driver.
11. Activate the added interface.
Execute the following command to activate the interface. Activate all the necessary interfaces. The
activation method depends on the configuration.
[For a single NIC interface]
Execute the following command to activate the interface. Activate all the necessary interfaces.
# /sbin/ifup ethX
[For the bonding configuration]
For a SLAVE interface added to an existing bonding configuration, execute the following command to
incorporate it into the bonding configuration.
Example: bondY is the bonding interface name, and ethX is the name of the interface to be incorporated.
# /sbin/ifenslave bondY ethX
For a newly added bonding interface with a SLAVE interface, execute the following command to activate
the interfaces. You need not execute the ifenslave command individually for the SLAVE interface.
# /sbin/ifup bondY
12. Mount all cables connected to the particular PCIC.
This step is performed by the field engineer in charge of your system.
Note
In GLS configuration with NIC switching way, you do not need to perform this step.
4.8 Removing PCI Express cards
This section describes the PCI Express card removal procedure with the PCI Hot Plug function.
The procedure includes common steps for all PCI Express cards and the additional steps required for a
specific card function or driver.
Thus, the descriptions cover both the common operations required for all cards (e.g., power supply
operations) and the specific procedures required for certain types of card. For details on removal of the cards
not described in this section, see the respective product manuals.
There are two ways to perform PCI hot plug:
- Operation by using sysfs
- Operation by using dr commands
You can perform the operation by using dr commands if Dynamic Reconfiguration utility is installed in the
partition. If not, be sure to use the operation by using sysfs. Although you can perform the operation by using
sysfs even if Dynamic Reconfiguration utility is installed in the partition, it is recommended to perform the
operation by using dr commands to prevent wrong operation.
