Online Addition And Replacement-Hp-Ux 11I Only - HP A6829A User's Manual And Service Manual

Installing the A6829A Adapter
Installing the A6829A Adapter
NOTE As stated earlier, although the A6829A is supported on only 64-bit
HP-UX 11.0 and 11i, you can install the adapter in either a 32-bit or
64-bit PCI slot. Also, we recommend using a PCI4X slot, to get
maximum performance. However, you can install the adapter in a
PCI2X, PCI1X, or shared PCI slot, if necessary.
When you have finished installing the A6829A, go to the next section
("Connecting External SCSI Peripherals" on page 21).
Online Addition and Replacement—HP-UX 11i Only
Online Addition and Replacement (OLAR) is the ability of a PCI
host bus adapter to be replaced in or added to an HP-UX system
designed to support this feature, without the need for completely
shutting down and then rebooting the system or adversely affecting
other system components. The system hardware uses the per-slot power
control combined with OS support to enable this feature.
Check the latest SCSI support matrix that contains information on the
HP-UX systems that support OLAR of the A6829A adapter. The support
matrix is available at
Communications section.
IMPORTANT Certain "classes" of hardware are not intended for access by users. At
this time, this includes superdome systems. HP recommends that these
systems be opened by only a qualified HP engineer. Failure to observe
this requirement can invalidate any support agreement or warranty to
which the owner might otherwise be entitled.
You can add or replace an OLAR-compatible adapter in either of these
ways:
