Replacing Fibre Channel adapters by using hot swap

When hot swapping Fibre Channel adapters, be aware that device-related software for the storage
devices might have extra devices (for example, the disk array router (dar) device that is associated with
the fiber array storage technology (FAStT) or DS4800) that need to be removed. See the specific storage
device documentation for information about how to remove these additional devices.
The new adapter has a unique worldwide port name (WWPN). Check the zoning and logical unit number
(LUN) assignments to ensure that the new adapter functions as expected.
Operating system or partition requirements
If you are installing a new feature, ensure that you have the software that is required to support the new
feature and that you determine whether any prerequisites must be met for this feature and attaching
devices. For information about operating system and partition requirements, see one of the following
