How to On-line Replace (OLR) a PCI Card
using SAM
Step 1. Start SAM.
Step 2. From the SAM Areas screen, select Peripheral Devices.
Step 3. From the Peripheral Devices screen, select Cards.
Step 4. From the I/O Cards screen, view the list of available I/O cards. Click once
on the card you wish to replace to select it, which will highlight the
entire line that contains the card.
Step 5. From the Menu bar, select Actions.
Step 6. From the Actions drop-down list, select Replace.
Step 7. SAM now performs a Critical Resource Analysis (CRA). That is, now that
you have selected to Replace a card, SAM’s first step is to confirm that no
critical resources will be disabled when the card is taken off-line.
Output messages from the CRA process are presented in the Analyze
Critical Resources screen which will be shown before you can proceed. The
messages displayed on this screen and the availability to continue on
from it (“OK” button activated) depend on the results of the analysis.
