Hardware Installation

Installing the Adapter Online

The Online Addition and Replacement feature (OLAR for HP-UX 11i v1, or OL* for HP-UX 11i v2 and later

HP-UX releases) allows PCI host bus adapters to be added, or replaced, without shutting down and rebooting

the system, and without adversely affecting other system components. The system hardware uses slot-specific

power control, combined with HP-UX operating system support, to enable these features.

OLAR or OL* may not be supported on the system you plan to install a Fibre Channel adapter in. See the HP

Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter Support Matrix, at http://www.docs.hp.com, to confirm if OLAR or OL* is

supported.

NOTE For detailed instructions on using OLAR on HP-UX 11i v1, see Chapter 2 of Configuring

HP-UX for Peripherals, which can be accessed at http://www.docs.hp.com

For detailed instructions on using OL* on HP-UX 11i v2 and later HP-UX releases, see the

Interface Card OL* Support Guide, and the Interface Card OL* Support Matrix, which can be

accessed at http://www.docs.hp.com
