and view OLAR-specific information about the card and slot. In addition, different
instructions are provided depending on whether or not the card is in a slot that is
capable of OLAR.
NOTE SAM patch PHCO_23004 for 11i (included in the HWEnable11i patch bundle and
automatically installed) changes the behavior of the PCI card slot LED (Attention
Indicator) to conform with the newly implemented PCI SHPC (Standard Hotplug
Controller) specification.
Essentially, the meanings for OLAR “FLASHING” (BLINKING) and “ON” LED are
reversed to meet the specification.
See “New Attention Indicator Behavior” on page 60 in Chapter 4 for more details.
• Modified cards screen layout to be hierarchical.
You can open mass storage interface cards (SCSI, fibrechannel) to view storage
devices attached to a card. This enables you to quickly identify devices controlled
through a particular card resource and therefore affected if the card were suspended.
Because only the attached devices are displayed, the hierarchical view is more
convenient and easier to use then backtracking to the Devices List from the
Peripheral Devices area.
• Added new Actions menu item, Analyze Critical Resources.
This menu item displays a dialog listing all resources, including devices, file systems,
device files, and processes that are affected if the selected card fails or is suspended
from operation. It will work on systems and cards that are capable of OLAR, as well
as those that are not. It determines if any of the resources are critical to HP-UX or
SAM (and this would cause either to fail if the resources were lost). This menu item
properly accounts for resources that have alternates, backups, or mirrors.
• Added support for DLT device tape densities (DLT_42500_24, DLT_42500_56,
DLT_62500_64, DLT_81633_64).
• In the Tape Devices and Backup and Recovery areas, added support for the
following new tape drives:
— HP C7145/C7146 Autochangers
— HP Surestore SDKT 220 tape drive
• Added device support for PCI multiplexer in Terminals and Modems area.
• Added device support for HP SureStore Disk Array FC60 and the HP SureStore Disk
Array XP256 (as described in the section “Disks and File Systems Area” on
page 189).
