Managing PCI Cards with OLAR

Performing OLAR procedures from the command line

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 and slot_id is the number returned by the rad -q command

b. Check that the slot you selected was reported correctly and is

physically empty 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 ﬂashingLED, 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 5. Since multi-slot power domains are not implemented for this release, this

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

card to be added, check for other slots affected by this slot(in same power

domain):

# rad -a slot_ID

Since multi-slot power domains are not implemented for this release, no

other slots will be affected by this slot and rad -a will return only the ID

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

other slot(s), all slot ID’s will be returned, separated by a carriage return

(not implemented for this release).

Step 6. Since multi-slot power domains are not implemented for this release, this

step may be omitted. If other slots are affected by the target slot (in the

same power domain), suspend the drivers for those slots:

# rad -s slot_ID

which displays the hardware path and card identiﬁer, and asks you to
