Replacing a HyperFabric Adapter
If OLAR is supported for the HP 9000 system and the HyperFabric adapter, and you
want to do OLR, see “Online Replacement (OLR)” on page 58. The HP HyperFabric
Release Note contains information about which HP 9000 systems and HyperFabric
adapters OLAR is supported for.
If you cannot or do not want to do OLR to replace a HyperFabric adapter, follow these
steps:
Step 1. Stop HyperFabric on the node where the faulty adapter is installed (see “Stopping
HyperFabric” on page 99).
Step 2. Depending on the type of HP 9000 the adapter is in, follow the steps in the HP 9000’s
documentation for installing the adapter.
WARNING User Note: V-Class installation must be done by a Hewlett-Packard Customer
Engineer qualified in installing and servicing the HP V-Class system and
trained to recognize the hazards involved. The I/O board is installed in an area
of the V-Class where hazardous energy levels might be produced. Any attempt
by non-HP personnel to install a HyperFabric adapter in a V-Class system
might result in a void of warranty.
Customer Engineer Note: You might want to refer to the V-Class system’s
documentation to identify various areas of the V-Class card cage. The PCI
HyperFabric adapters are installed in one of the V-Class’s Exemplar I/O
boards. Only one HyperFabric adapter per V-Class SAGA/EPIC is supported.
Remember that, when you replace a HyperFabric adapter, you do not have to re-install
the HyperFabric software.
Step 3. Start HyperFabric on the HP 9000 (see “Starting HyperFabric” on page 85).
