Accessing the PCI Hot-Swap Manager
The installation instructions for hot-pluggable PCI adapters refer you to these procedures when it is
appropriate to perform them.
Attention:
The Linux operating system does not support these hot-pluggable procedures. Also, Linux
does not support hot-swapping any hot-pluggable PCI adapters. The system with Linux installed must be
shut down and powered off before replacing any PCI adapter. Follow the non-hot-pluggable adapter
procedures when replacing a PCI adapter in a system with the Linux operating system installed.
Note: A PCI adapter is only hot-pluggable if the PCI adapter is supported for hot-swap applications. See
the RS/6000 & pSeries PCI Adapter Placement Reference, order number SA38-0538, for complete
information regarding your PCI adapter.
Accessing PCI Hot-Swap Management Functions
Note: Removing or installing a hot-pluggable PCI adapter requires the system administrator to take the
PCI adapter offline prior to performing the operation. Before taking an adapter offline, the devices
attached to the adapter must be taken offline as well. This action prevents a service representative
or user from causing an unexpected outage for system users.
For additional information about taking an adapter offline or removing it from the system
configuration, see the AIX System Management Guide: Operating System and Devices.
Documentation for the AIX operating system is available from the IBM Eserver pSeries Information
Center at http://publib16.boulder.ibm.com/pseries/en_US/infocenter/base. Select AIX
documentation. The AIX Documentation CD contains the base set of publications for the operating
system, including system-management and end-user documentation.
This publication is also contained on the AIX Documentation CD. The documentation is made
accessible by loading the documentation CD onto the hard disk or by mounting the CD in the
CD-ROM drive.
To access the hot-swap manager menus, do the following:
1. Log in as root user.
