Fibre Channel Adapter Installation for HP-UXInstalling Adapter HardwareChapter 18Installing 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 at:http://www.docs.hp.com/en/netsys.html#System%20AdministrationIMPORTANT Superdome systems are not intended to be maintained by customers. HP recommends thatSuperdome systems only be opened by a qualified HP service engineer. Failure to observe thisrecommendation can invalidate any support agreement or warranty to which you may beentitled.Installing the Fibre Channel AdapterCAUTION Observe all ESD safety precautions before attempting this procedure.
