Installing Adapter Hardware

Installing the Adapter Online

The Online Addition and Replacement feature (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.

Confirm whether OL* is supported on the system in wich you plan to install a Fibre Channel adapter. See the

HP Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter Support Matrix, at:

http://docs.hp.com/en/netcom.html#Fibre%20Channel

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 at:

http://docs.hp.com/en/hpux11iv2.html
