Planning and Preparation
Planning and Preparation
For the most part SAM prevents you from performing OLA/R procedures that would adversly affect other areas of the server. This section provides you with important information that can help minimize errors or problems when performing OLA/R procedures.
Card Compatibility
On-Line Addition
When
The card must also operate at the slot’s bus frequency. A PCI card must run at any frequency lower than its maximum capability, but a card that could only operate at 33 MHz would not work on a bus running at 66 MHz. rad provides information about the bus frequency and power available at a slot, as well as other
On-Line Replacement
When
The PCI specification allows a single physical card to contain more than one function. A
When the replacement card is added to the system, the appropriate driver for that card must be configured in the kernel before beginning the operation. SAM ensures the correct driver is present. (In most cases, the replacement card will be the same type as a card already in the system, and this requirement will be automatically met.) If you have any
