Installing HyperFabric Adapters

 

Online Addition and Replacement—HP-UX 11i Only

 

Online Addition and Replacement (OLAR) allows PCI I/O cards, adapters or

 

controllers to be replaced or added to HP 9000 systems, without the need for completely

 

shutting down and rebooting the system, or adversely affecting other system

 

components. This feature is only 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.

 

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

 

capability.

 

The latest HyperFabric Release Notes contains information about which HP 9000

 

systems and HyperFabric adapters OLAR is supported for.

 

 

IMPORTANT

At this time V-Class and 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.
