Managing PCI Cards with OLAR
How to On-line Add (OLA) a PCI Card using SAM
finds.
NOTE At this point, the OLA is complete. Note that in some cases additional
configuration in another area of SAM may also be required. A network
interface card, for example, might require network parameter setup in
the Network Interface Card portion of the Networking and
Communications area. After adding a card, SCSI host bus adapters are
configured with default values for parameters, such as SCSI ID. This
may cause SCSI ID conflicts if the card is connected to a shared SCSI
bus, where another host bus adapter has the same ID.
Method 2:
1. Enter the I/O Cards area of SAM.
2. Select any empty slot.
3. Select “Actions->Power Off Slot”. Unless the slot is in a multi-slot
power domain (not supported in this release), SAM will display a
dialog indicating that no ports are associated with the slot, and ask if
you want to continue to power off the slot. Press “Yes” to continue or
“No” to cancel the operation. If “Yes” is pressed, SAM will turn off
power to the slot.
4. Optionally, select the same slot and select “Actions->Light Slot LED”.
SAM will display a dialog indicating that the LED is on. If you want
to leave the LED on to help you locate the slot, do not press OK until
you have inserted the new card.
5. Insert the card into the correct slot.
6. Press “OK” on the “Light Slot LED” dialog. SAM will turn off the slot
LED.
7. Select “Options->Refresh View”. The empty slot into which the card
was inserted will display as an “unknown card”.
8. Select that “unknown card”, then select “Actions->Bring On-Line”.
SAM powers on the slot and activates the new card as described in
method 1 above.
