OLA/R Overview and Concepts

How to On-line Replace (OLR) a J3525A PCI Card using SMH

The cables must be removed from the PCI I/O card before proceeding with the OLR operation.

Once you click the “OK” button on the Analyze Critical Resources screen, SMH begins to take the selected card out of service. SMH requests a suspend operation for the driver of the selected card.

Once the drivers are suspended, SMH turns off the power to the slot in which the card is located.

SMH then illuminates the amber attention LED on the slot itself to make the suspended card more easily locatable on the system chassis.

SMH now requests that the card be replaced via a dialog box. Read the contents of this dialog for any extra information (Expansion cabinets, warnings, etc.). Also at this point, SMH turns off the slot’s green power LED.

Replace the target card. Please refer to your system manual for removal and insertion of the PCI I/O cards.

Do not connect the cables to the card at this point.

At this point, the amber LED should still be be activated, and the green power LED should still be off.

Return to the console, and click the “OK” button on the Replace Card dialog.

WARNING

Pressing the “Cancel” button here will prevent you from easily

 

restoring power to this slot (or Power Domain). If this happens,

 

you must shut-down, then re-boot, the system to restore power.

 

 

Step 14. Once you click “OK”, SMH first resets the attention LED to it’s normal state.
