Fibre Channel Adapter Installation for HP-UXInstalling Adapter HardwareChapter 18/var/adm/sw/swinstall.logStep 15. Install OnlineDiag, which is available at http://www.software.hp.com. OnlineDiag is also availablefrom the HP Support PLUS CD. Installation instructions are available at:http://docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/diag/st/st_inst.htmInstalling Adapter HardwareThe Online Addition and Replacement feature, OLAR for HP-UX 11i v1, or OL* for HP-UX 11i v2 and laterHP-UX releases, enables PCI host bus adapters to be added or replaced without shutting down and rebootingthe system, and without adversely affecting other system components. The system hardware uses slot-specificpower control, combined with HP-UX operating system support, to enable these features.Confirm whether OLAR or OL* are supported on the system in wich you plan to install a Fibre Channeladapter. See the HP Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter Support Matrix, at:http://docs.hp.com/en/netcom.html#Fibre%20ChannelFor detailed instructions on using OLAR on HP-UX 11i v1, see Chapter 2 of Configuring HP-UX forPeripherals, which can be accessed at:http://docs.hp.com/en/hpux11i.htmlFor detailed instructions on using OL* on HP-UX 11i v2 and later HP-UX releases, see the Interface CardOL* Support Guide and the Interface Card OL* Support Matrix at:http://docs.hp.com/en/hpux11iv2.htmlNOTE HP rp54xx servers have slot restrictions for OLAR.PCI slots 1 through 4 do not support OLAR.
