On Line Addition and Replacement (OLAR)
IMPORTANT In many cases, other interface cards and slots within the system are dependent
upon the target card. For example:
• If the target card is a multiple-port card, suspending or deleting drivers for
the target card slot also suspends individual drivers for the multiple
hardware paths on that card).
During a card replacement operation, SAM performs a Critical Resource Analysis, which
checks all ports on the target card for critical resources that would be temporarily unavailable
while the card is shut down.
Planning and Preparation
For the most part SAM prevents you from performing OLAR procedures that would adversely
affect other areas of the server. Refer to Configuring HP-UX For Peripherals, HP Part Number
