OLA/R Restrictions for the A5150A
Currently there are two versions of the A5150A:
• A5150-60001 (older)
• A5150-60101 (newer)
Both of the HBAs have some restrictions in the OLA/R procedure. These
restrictions are explained below.
Generally, the restrictions are necessary because the SCSI attributes of
initiator ID, speed, and auto termination cannot be changed online for
this HBA.
OLA of A5150-60001 This HBA can be online added only if the SCSI
attribute values of initiator ID and speed are usable in your
configuration. These values will be set to the current PDC (Processor
Dependent Code) values (if any) or default to the new HBA’s values (see
Table 2-2).
If these attributes are not acceptable, you must reboot the system to
access the Boot Console Handler (BCH) prompt and then change the
values in the PDC.
OLA of A5150-60101 This HBA cannot be online added.
