The Online Addition and Replacement feature, OL* for the HP-UX 11i v3 release, enables PCI host bus adapters to be added or replaced without shutting down and rebooting the system, and without adversely affecting other system components. The system hardware uses slot-specific power control, combined with HP-UX operating system support, to enable these features.
