On Line Addition and Replacement (OLA/R)
Chapter 138
On Line Addition and Replacement (OLA/R)
This refers to the ability of a PCI I/O card to be replaced or added to an
HP-UX computer system designed to support this feature without the
need for completely shutting down, then re-booting the system or
adversely affecting other system components. The system hardware uses
the per-slot power control combined with operating system support to
enable this feature. This feature is only supported on systems that run
the HP-UX 11i operating system.
IMPORTANT Certain “Classes” of hardware are not intended for access by users. HP
recommends that V-Class and Superdome systems only be opened by a
qualified HP engineer. Failure to observe this requirement can invalidate
any support agreement or warranty to which the owner might otherwise
be entitled.
The addition or replacement of an OLA/R-compatible card may be done
in either of two ways:
1. Using the SAM utility.
2. Issuing command-line commands using rad(1M) or olrad(1M)
(orlad (1M) is specificically for HP-UX 11i v2).
