olrad The command line method of performing OL*.
Attention button The hardware system slot-based method of performing OL*.
This procedure describes how to perform an online replacement of a PCI card using the attention
button for cards whose drivers support online addition or replacement (OLAR). The attention button
is also referred to as the doorbell.
The following are prerequisites for this procedure:
• The replacement card uses the same drivers and is of the same type as the card being installed.
• The green power LED is steady ON.
• The yellow attention LED is steady OFF or is blinking if a user has requested the slot location.
• Run the olrad -q command to determine the status of all the PCI I/O slots.
1. Remove the top cover. See “Removing and Replacing Covers” (page 136) for the procedure.
2. Press the attention button. See Figure 87.
The green power LED will start to blink and then turn steady OFF. If the green power LED does
not go OFF, then check the hotplugd daemon log file (default: /var/adm/hotplugd.log) for
errors. Do not proceed further.
NOTE: If the attention button is pressed a second time during the first 5 seconds while the
green LED is blinking, the operation is cancelled and power to the slot remains on.
