HP-UX System Administrator's Guide: Overview HP-UX 11i v3 (B3921-90011, September 2010)

Online Replacement suspends the driver instance associated
with the failed card and powers down the slot so the card
can be replaced with a new one of the same type. Then power
can be restored to the slot and new card, and the driver
resumed.
Online Deletion removes from the running kernel the driver
instance associated with the failed card and powers down
the slot so the card can be removed. You can then
(optionally) install a new card of the same or different type
using Online Addition.
NOTE: If the driver is not a core driver (one that is always
present in the kernel), you will need to install a driver when
adding in the new card, even if it is the same type as the
one that was deleted.
If the driver is a core driver, a new instance of the driver
will be created when you add back the new card of the
same type.
Network Administration Tools
Configuring a network can be an involved process involving many different variables. For
sophisticated network troubleshooting and performance monitoring, HP offers the OpenView
Network Node Manager. For information about the Network Node Manager’s features and
capabilities, and how to acquire it see:

The Basics of Network Administration
Networking on HP-UX can include:
• Remote logins
• Remote file system access
• File transfers
• Remote database access
• Electronic mail
• Web server
• Web client (browser)
• and much more
Configuring a Network Interface
Before you can use any of the above networking services you need to configure at least one
network interface so that HP-UX can communicate with a network.
Specifically, you need to:
1. Physically connect your server to network hardware (unless you are using a wireless network
connection for your server).
2. Set up one or more network interface controllers (NIC).
3. Set up a network address (usually an IP address).
4. Configure Network Services and the ports used by those services.
Use the nwmgr command to configure network interfaces. See the manpage nwmgr(1M) for details
on the numerous tasks nwmgr can do.
