9.4 FC Card Hot Plugging
For FC card hot plugging (replacement), you need to especially consider other matters in addition to the
procedure described in
The hot plugging of an FC card changes the WWN of the FC card if the WWN is set on an FC switch or RAID
device (ETERNUS). For details on how to set the WWN again for a new card, see the respective device
manuals.
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 coincident with that of 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 coincident with that of 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.
This section describes hot plugging of an FC card combined with ETERNUS MPD (multipath driver).
Notes

- SAN boot paths are not valid.
- LTO library devices are not supported.
- Depending on the Windows specifications, if the FC card connection destination has a Page File or other
