Excluding / Including Hardware Elements
As Customer Administrator, if a redundant hardware element is faulty, you can logically
Exclude it from the domain until it has been repaired or replaced. To be taken into account,
exclusion requires domain power OFF/ON.
A complete list of logically excluded hardware elements can be obtained via the Hardware
Monitor search engine. See Using the Hardware Search Engine, on page 4-16.
Important:
Hardware elements must be excluded with care. The exclusion of core hardware
elements will prevent the server from booting. Exclusion guidelines are given in the
Hardware exclusion guidelines table, on page 4-19.
Excluding a Hardware Element

The exclusion of a hardware element is only taken into account at the next power ON.
1. Check that the hardware element is “excludable” and that exclusion will not affect
domain availability. See , on page 4-19.
2. Click the required hardware element in the PAM Tree to open the Hardware Status
page.
