5.3.3 FC card (Fibre Channel card) removal procedure

The descriptions in this section assume that an FC card is being removed.
Notes
- The FC card used for SAN boot does not support hot plugging.
- If all the paths in a mounted disk become hidden when an FC card is hot replaced, unmount the disk.
Then, execute
FC card removal procedure
The procedure for removing an FC card and peripherals is as follows.
1. Make the necessary preparations.
Stop access to the FC card by stopping applications or by other such means.
2. Confirming the installation of the PCI Hot Plug driver
See 'Confirming the installation of the PCI Hot Plug driver' in
procedure in
3. Confirm the slot number of the PCI slot by using the following procedure.
See 'Confirming the slot number of a PCI Express slot' in
in detail".
4. Power off the PCI Express slot.
See 'Powering on and off PCI Express slots' in
5. After taking off all cables connected to the target card, physically remove the target card.

5.3.4 Network card removal procedure

Network card (referred to below as NIC) removal using hot plugging needs specific processing before and
after PCI slot power-on or power-off. Its procedure also includes the common PCI Express card removal
procedure.
The procedure describes operations where a single NIC is configured as one interface. It also describes
cases where multiple NICs are bonded together to configure one interface (bonding configuration). For
bonding multiple NIC by using PRIMECLUSTER Global Link Services (GLS), see 'PRIMECLUSTER Global
Link Service Configuration and Administration Guide Redundant Line Control Function' (J2UZ-7781).
