Using Search
You can filter the list of slots by searching for a particular slot, path, word, or phrase.
TIP: Use search to isolate Suspended slots from a long list.
To search for a slot, follow these steps:
1. Enter the information you want to search for in the text Search box. Spell your search criteria
correctly; the search function is case sensitive.
2. Click to view a list of slots that match your search criteria.
If no slots are displayed, modify your search text.
For example, search on the text yes to view only slots that are Occupied or Suspended.
Alternatively, if you use the search text off, only those slots that are currently powered off are
displayed.
To reset all search criteria and return to the default view, click .
Critical Resource Analysis
A critical resource can cause a system crash or loss of data if the slot is suspended or disconnected.
For example, if a SCSI adapter to be replaced connects to unmirrored root disk or swap space,
the system will crash when the card is replaced. During an OL* procedure, it is essential to check
the targeted card for critical resources, and for the effects of existing disk mirrors and other
situations where a card's functions can be taken over by another card that will not be affected.
A Critical Resource Analysis (CRA) is a usage report of a set of interface resources. A brief
summary is provided when the usage analysis is performed. Detailed analysis logs for each
subsystem exist in the /var/adm/cra.log logfile.
NOTE: The CRA in HP-UX 11i v3 provides a briefer report and more comprehensive logs than
previous systems.
The following areas are analyzed:
System Critical Resources with a high probability of crashing or degrading the
performance of the system, including /(root), /stand, /usr, /etc
and all directly mounted swap file systems.
