Removing and Replacing a PCI Card
You can remove and replace a PCI I/O card by using the SAM (
/usr/sbin/sam
) application or by using
Partition Manager (
/opt/parmgr/bin/parmgr
).
This procedure describes how to perform an
online replacement
of a PCI card using SAM, for cards whose
drivers support online add or replacement (OLAR).
IMPORTANT
Some PCI I/O cards cannot be added or replaced online (while HP-UX remains running). For
these cards, you must shut down HP-UX on the nPartition before performing the card
replacement or addition. See “Shutting Down nPartitions and Powering Off Hardware
Components” on page 58.
Step 1.
Run SAM (
/usr/sbin/sam
) and from the main SAM Areas screen select the
Peripheral Devices
area,
then select the
Cards
area.
Step 2.
From the I/O Cards screen, select the card you will replace and then select the
Actions—>Replace
menu item.
