The Replace/Remove a Device Attached to an SES Device function lists all
populated hot-swap slots that are available for removal or replacement of the
devices. After a slot is selected, the device populating that slot is Unconfigured; then
the power is removed from that slot. If the Unconfigure operation fails, it is possible
that the device is in use by another application. In this case, the customer or system
administrator must be notified to deactivate the device. If the Unconfigure operation
is successful, the visual indicator for the selected slot is set to the Remove state.
After the device is removed or replaced, the visual indicator, if available for the
selected slot, is set to the Normal state, and power is restored.
Note: Be sure that no other host is using the device before you remove it.
The Configure Added/Replaced Devices function runs the configuration manager
on the parent adapters that had child devices added or removed. This function
ensures that the devices in the configuration database are correctly configured.
Standalone Diagnostics has restrictions on using the SCSI Hot Plug Manager. For
example:
Replacement devices must be exactly the same type of device as the device
being replaced.
New devices may not be added unless a device of the same FRU part number
already exists in the system, because the configuration information for the new
device is not known after the Standalone Diagnostics are booted.
You can run this task directly from the command line. See the following command
syntax:
diag -d
device
-T"identifyRemove"
OR diag [-c] -d
device
-T"identifyRemove -a [identify|remove]"
Flag Description
-c Run the task without displaying menus. Only command line prompts are
used. This flag is only applicable when running an option such as identify
or remove.
-d Indicates the SCSI device.
-T Specifies the task to run.
-a Specifies the option under the task.
