If you want to replace the NIC with another card of same model, you must initially run the
olrad(1M) command with -C option which reports the resource usage and its criticality.
The criticality reported by CRA in this case is WARNINGS and for more information about the
CRA details, see the CRA log file /var/adm/cra.log on the VSP. The following is the snippet
from the CRA log on the VSP containing the HPVM Direct I/O Analysis details.
ANALYSIS SCOPE: HPVM- DIRECT I/O
This report provides details of any critical Direct I/O hardware path usages in the system.
RESULT: WARNING Some hardware paths to resources are affected.
SYSTEM CRITICAL RESULTS
Affected vPars or VM guest instances numbers are: NONE
DATA CRITICAL RESULTS
Affected vPars or VM guest instances numbers are: NONE
WARNING
Affected vPars or VM guest instances numbers are: 5
FAILURE
vPars or VM guests that failed to perform CRA analysis are: NONE
The CRA that logs inside the guest have additional information about the WARNINGS usage inside
the guest. The following is a snippet from the CRA log in the guest for this specific scenario.
ANALYSIS SCOPE: NETWORKING
This report provides details of any networking related usages for
a set of h/w paths in the system.
RESULT: WARNING resources usage detected.
DETAILED REPORT: Analyzed following hardware paths to detect any
usages in the system:
0/1/5/0 (lan8)
0/2/2/0 (lan17)
WARNINGS:
Auto Port Aggregation(APA) Usage:
Aggregate lan900 will get impacted by the intended operation on
the member links listed below: lan8
NOTE: Intended operation might compromise high availability provided by APA.
USEFUL NETWORKING COMMANDS:
lanadmin lanscan nwmgr netstat ifconfig linkloop
In this scenario, where the CRA has returned WARNINGS, if you choose to run the Pre Replace
option of the olrad (1M) command (olrad –r option), on DLA or FLA NIC, the operation
succeeds as it does not cause loss of services.
