What’s New in This Version On Line Addition and Replacement (OLAR) On Line Addition and Replacement (OLAR) PCI Card OLAR Concepts Introduction The letters O, L, A and R stand for On Line Addition [and] Replacement. This, of course, refers to the ability of a PCI I/O card to be replaced (replaced and/or added) to an HP-UX computer system designed to support this feature without the need for completely shutting down, then re-booting the system or adversely affecting other system components.

What’s New in This Version On Line Addition and Replacement (OLAR) B2355-90698 for detailed information. On-Line Addition and/or Replacement (OLAR) Critical Resources Replacing a card that is still operating can have extensive ramifications. Since power to the slot must be off when the old card is removed and the new card is inserted, the effects of shutting down the card’s functions must be considered. This is particularly important if there is no on-line failover or backup card to pick up those functions.
What’s New in This Version On Line Addition and Replacement (OLAR) On-Line Replacement When on-line replacing an interface card, the replacement card must be identical to the card being replaced or at least able to operate using the same driver as the replaced card. This is referred to as like-for-like replacement and should be adhered to because using a similar but not identical card may cause unpredictable results.
