HP-UX Installation

Installing the Adapter Online

The Online Addition and Replacement feature (OLAR for HP-UX 11i v1, or OL* for HP-UX 11i v2 and later HP-UX releases) allows 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.

OLAR or OL* may not be supported on the system you plan to install an A6795A adapter in. See the HP Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter Support Matrix, at http://www.docs.hp.com, to conﬁrm if OLAR or OL* is supported.

NOTE	For detailed instructions on using OLAR on HP-UX 11i v1, see Chapter 2 of Conﬁguring
	HP-UX for Peripherals, which can be accessed at http://www.docs.hp.com
	For detailed instructions on using OL* on HP-UX 11i v2 and later HP-UX releases, see the
	Interface Card OL* Support Guide, and the Interface Card OL* Support Matrix, which can be
	accessed at http://www.docs.hp.com


NOTE	rp54xx servers have slot restrictions for OLAR.
	PCI slots 1 through 4 do not support OLAR.
	In these servers, use PCI slots 5 through 12 for OLAR.

IMPORTANT Superdome systems are not intended for access by users. HP recommends that Superdome systems only be opened by a qualiﬁed HP engineer. Failure to observe this requirement can invalidate any support agreement or warranty to which the system owner might otherwise be entitled.
