Managing PCI Cards with OLAR

Performing OLAR procedures from the command line

or otherwise save or print the output of the rad -q command.

Step 3. Verify that the target card slot reported by rad is consistent with the

physical slot label on the server for the target card:

a. Set the target card slot to it’s ATTENTION state, which will cause the

amber LED located next to the card slot to ﬂash:

# rad -f attention slot_ID

where slot_ID is the slot ﬁeld returned by the rad -q command

b. Check that you selected the correct card slot by examining the Slot ID

stenciled on the chassis directly beside the amber ﬂashing LED. For

example, if you ran rad -f attention 2, then the number stenciled next

to the ﬂashing LED should be 2.

c. If the Slot ID reported by rad is not consistent with the physical slot

that you set to attention, you will need to repeat this step to ﬁnd the

correct slot, as follows:

1. Run rad -q again and record the screen output

2. For each Slot ID listed, run rad -f ﬂag slot_ID, then record the

number next to the ﬂashing LED, and then run rad -f off slot_ID to

turn the LED off

3. Repeat this process until you have an accurate list of slot ID’s

reported by rad mapped to the slot ID’s stenciled on the chassis

Step 4. Since multi-slot power domains are not implemented at this time, this

step may be omitted. Once you have veriﬁed the correct slot ID for the

target card, check for other slots affected by this slot (in same power

domain):

# rad -a slot_ID

If no other slots are affected by this slot, rad -a will return only the ID of

the slot you selected. If the slot you selected is in a power domain with

other slots, all slot ID’s in that power domain will be returned, separated

by a carriage return.

Step 5. Check to see if the target card has multiple I/O nodes (for example, a

multi-port card):

# rad -h slot_ID
