Table 3-1

 

Important OLAR Terms

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Term

Meaning

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

OLAR

All aspects of the OLAR feature

 

 

 

 

including Online Addition (OLA)

 

 

 

 

and Online Replacement (OLR).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Power Domain

A grouping of 1 or more interface

 

 

 

 

card slots that are powered on or

 

 

 

 

off as a unit. (Note: Multi-slot

 

 

 

 

power domains are not currently

 

 

 

 

supported.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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 slot

Interface cards and the card slots

 

 

 

 

they reside in, which are in the

 

 

 

 

same power domain as the target

 

 

 

 

slot.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IMPORTANT

 

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

 

 

dependent on 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 (CRA), which checks all ports on the target card for critical resources that would be temporarily unavailable while the card is shut down.
