Managing PCI Cards with OLAR

Performing OLAR procedures from the command line

If the script is present, run it as follows:

# sh /usr/sbin/olrad.d/drivername post_replace hw_path

CAUTION In many cases, post-replacement scripts will contain commands to

automatically download ﬁrmware patches and/or upgrades for an

interface card.

If no post-replacement scripts exist for the new card, and the card’s

driver is OLAR-compatible, you may want to perform the following steps

to ensure card and driver compatibility:

• Examine system logs or maintenance documentation to determine

whether or not any ﬁrmware patches or upgrades had been

previously applied to the old card.

• Determine the ﬁrmware version of the new card

• If the old card’s ﬁrmware had not been updated or patched and the

new card contains a more recent ﬁrmware version, make sure that

the existing driver will accept it. (Or obtain the newer version of the

driver.)

Step 13. Verify that the replaced resource is valid:

Note: You are generally made aware of errors or problems via output

from the rad and ioscan commands as you progress through the

procedure. If you successfully resumed the driver(s) in the previous step,

then do the following to conﬁrm operation of the new resource:

a. Run ioscan to verify the state of the target device driver(s).

b. Run rad (-q and then -c options) to verify the target cards operation.

Step 14. Set the target card slot’s attention LED to its OFF state

# rad -f attention slot_ID

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

Step 15. Notify users and applications of resource availability.
