Power Domain

A grouping of 1 or more

 

 

 

 

interface card slots that can be

 

 

 

 

powered on or off as a unit.

 

 

 

 

(NOTE: Multi-slot power

target card / target card slot

The interface card which will be

 

 

 

 

added or replaced using OLAR,

 

 

 

 

and the card slot in which it

 

 

 

 

resides.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

affected card / affected card

Interface cards and the card

 

 

 

slot

slots in which they reside, and

 

 

 

 

which are in the same power

IMPORTANT

 

In many cases, other interface cards and slots within the system are

 

 

dependent upon the target card. For example:

If the target card is a multiple-port card, suspending or deleting drivers for the target card slot also suspends individual drivers for the multiple hardware paths on that card).

During a card replacement operation, SAM performs a Critical Resource Analysis, which checks all ports on the target card for critical resources that would be temporarily unavailable while the card is shut down.
