Installing HyperFabric Adapters

available on HP 9000 systems that are designed to support OLAR. The system hardware uses the per-slot power control combined with OS support to enable this feature.

OLAR is supported only on TCP/UDP/IP over HF2 adapters.

Not all add-in cards have this capability, but over time many cards will be gaining this capability.

The HyperFabric Release Notes contains information about which HP 9000 systems and HyperFabric adapters OLAR is supported for.

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

There are two methods to add or replace OLAR-compatible cards:

•Using the SAM utility.

•Issuing command-line commands, through olrad, that refer to the HyperFabric OLAR script (/usr/sbin/olard.d/clicd).

HP recommends that SAM be used for OLAR procedures, instead of the rad command. This is primarily because SAM prevents the user from doing things that might have adverse effects. This is not true when the rad command is used.

For detailed information about using either of these two procedures, see Configuring HP-UX For Peripherals. You can order that document from HP, or you can view, download, and print it from the following URL: http://www.docs.hp.com.
