PCI Hot-Plug Manager Access
The installation instructions for hot-pluggable PCI adapters refer you to these
procedures when it is appropriate to perform them.
Note: A PCI adapter is only hot-pluggable if the PCI adapter is supported for hot-plug
applications. See the
PCI Adapter Placement Reference , order number
SA23-2504.
Accessing Hot-Plug Management Functions
Note: Removing a hot-pluggable PCI adapter requires the system administrator to take
the PCI adapter offline before performing any PCI adapter hot-plug procedures.
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
. This publication is located on the AIX Documentation CD.
Access the documentation information by loading the documentation CD onto the
hard disk or by mounting the CD in the CD-ROM drive.

1. Log in as root user.
2. At the command line, type smitty.
3. Select Devices.
