QXCR1000575890: OLR of a LAN Card in SG cluster fails on HP-UX 11i v3
Problem: Online replacement (OLR) of a LAN card in a Serviceguard cluster fails on a
system running HP-UX 11i v3 because the Critical Resource Analysis (CRA) performed
as part of the OLR operation returns CRA_SYS_CRITICAL. You will encounter this
problem on an unpatched HP-UX 11i v3 system whether you use the Peripheral Device
Tool (pdweb) or the HP-UX olrad command.
Workaround: Apply patch PHNE_35894. (See “Patches for this Version” (page 63) for
more information about patches.)
NOTE: You can apply the patch without a reboot.
On a system to which the patch has been applied, you will be able to perform online
replacement of hot-swappable cards (without bringing down the cluster). See “Replacing
LAN or Fibre Channel Cards” in Chapter 8 of Managing Serviceguard for more
information. (You can find the manual at http://docs.hp.com -> High
Availability -> Serviceguard.)
NOTE: If for some reason you need to proceed without the patch, you must follow
the “Off-Line Replacement” procedure under “Replacing LAN or Fibre Channel Cards”
in Chapter 8 of Managing Serviceguard.
