PCI Error Recovery Product Note

Manual Recovery from a PCI Error

Chapter

7. After the card has been resumed, a recovery message will be displayed in the console, for example:

Hardware path 7/0/12 Successfully recovered from PCI Error

8. If the olrad -R <slot_id> command does not succeed, you have a persistent PCI error condition. There

is a high probability that the I/O card is defective. A failure message will be displayed on the console, for

example:

Automatic PCI Error Recovery Operation failed at Hardware path 7/0/12.

Path may be recovered using a Manual Error Recovery operation.

Refer to olrad(1m) man page for details

The olrad -q command will show the slot as being suspended (Susp Mode = Yes) and the power will be

off (Pwr = Off).

At this point you have two options:

• You can perform an OL* online replacement operation to replace the I/O card with an I/O card that

has the same HP Manufacturing Part Number and the same (or later) release version number.

• You can perform an OL* online deletion operation to delete the card and the driver instance

associated with that card. After a successful online deletion, the slot is available to be used with

another I/O card. If you want to perform an online addition operation to add a different I/O card to the

slot, see the Interface Card OL* Support Guide, .

OL* online replacement operations can be performed with the pdweb GUI, with the olrad command, or

with a hardware “attention button” procedure.

OL* online deletion operations can be performed with the pdweb GUI, or with the olrad command.

Detailed procedural instructions for performing OL* operations are provided in The Interface Card OL*

Support Guide for HP-UX 11i v3, available at http://docs.hp.com under the High Availability category.
