How to On-Line Replace (OLR) a PCI card using rad
Step 1. Before replacing an interface card in a system, consider the following
impacts that doing so will have on a system, and review the applicable
topics within the section “Planning and Preparation” for detailed
information:
• Ensure that you understand if the target card is a multi port card.
Step 2. Obtain the ID of the slot which hosts the card you are replacing. For
example:
# rad -q
Slot Path Bus Speed Power Occupied Suspended Driver(s)_Capable
1 0/5 40 33 Off No N/A N/A
2 0/4 32 33 On Yes No Yes
4 0/8 64 33 On Yes No Yes
5 0/10 80 33 Off No N/A N/A
6 0/2 16 33 On Yes No Yes
Pay particular attention to the contents of the following fields:
• Slot displays the host card’s slot ID. In this example, the target card
is a simple interface card that serves only one function. In other
cases, the target card may be a PCI-to-PCI bridge card, or one of
many types of multi-port Cards.
NOTE For further information regarding Multi-port Cards, refer to the section
“Advanced Considerations”. Also, refer to the rad(1m) HP-UX manpage
for examples of using rad in advanced cases.
• Pathdisplays the hardware path for each physical slot in the machine.
Refer to the section “Preparing to replace an interface card” for a
detailed explanation of hardware paths.
• Driver(s)_Capable indicates whether or not the driver for the card you
are replacing is OLAR capable.
NOTE If you encounter difficulties later in the procedure, you may need to refer
to the information obtained in step 1, so it is a good idea to print screen
