More detailed information concerning PCI Hot-Plug Manager can be found in the AIX
Operating System, System Management Guide. You can run this task directly from
the command line by typing the following command:
diag -d
device
-T"identifyRemove"
However, note that some devices support both the PCI Hot-Plug task and the RAID
Hot-Plug Devices task. If this is the case for the
device
specified, then the Hot Plug
Task displays instead of the PCI Hot Plug Manager menu.
SCSI Hot Swap Manager
This task allows the user to identify, add, remove, and replace a SCSI device in a
system unit that uses a SCSI Enclosure Services (SES) device. The following
functions are available:
List the SES Devices
Identify a Device Attached to an SES Device
Attach a Device to an SES Device
Replace/Remove a Device Attached to an SES Device
Configure Added/Replaced Devices
The List the SES Devices function lists all the SCSI hot-swap slots and their
contents. Status information about each slot is also available. The status
information available includes the slot number, device name, whether the slot is
populated and configured, and location.
The Identify a Device Attached to an SES Device function is used to help identify
the location of a device attached to a SES device. This function lists all the slots
that support hot swap that are occupied or empty. When a slot is selected for
identification, the visual indicator for the slot is set to the Identify state.
The Attach a Device to an SES Device function lists all empty hot-swap slots that
are available for the insertion of a new device. After a slot is selected, the power is
removed. If available, the visual indicator for the selected slot is set to the Remove
state. After the device is added, the visual indicator for the selected slot is set to the
Normal state, and power is restored.
