ions

PCI hot swapping of FCAs not supported
Hot swapping is defined as replacing one fibre channel adapter (FCA) with an identical FCA in the same
PCI slot while the system is running. This function is not supported on P-Series systems that support hot
swapping, because it hangs the server. To replace an FCA, you must firstshutdowntheserver.
PCI hot addition of FCAs not suppor ted
You cannot add
an FCA to an empt y PCI slot while the system is running because the hot addition of the
FCA fails. Yo
u must shut down the server before you add an FCA.
