How to Initiate a Reconfiguration Boot

After installing any new internal option or external storage device, you must
perform a reconfiguration boot so that the operating system is able to recognize the
newly installed device(s). In addition, if you remove any device and do not install a
replacement device prior to rebooting the system, you must perform a
reconfiguration boot in order for the operating system to recognize the configuration
change. This requirement also applies to any component that is connected to the
system I
supplies.
This requirement does not apply to any component that is:
Installed or removed as part of a hot-plug operation
Installed or removed before the operating system is installed
Installed as an identical replacement for a component that is already recognized
by the operating system
Before You Begin
Caution – Before you power on the system, make sure that the system doors and all
panels are properly installed.
To issue software commands, you need to set up the system console. This procedure
assumes you are accesssing the system console using the serial or network
management port. For more information, see:
