The Attach a Device to an SES Device function lists all empty hot-swap slots that are
available for the insertion of a new device. After a slot is selected, the power is
removed. If available, the visual indicator for the selected slot is set to the Remove
state. After the device is added, the visual indicator for the selected slot is set to the
Normal state, and power is restored.
The Replace/Remove a Device Attached to an SES Device function lists all
populated hot-swap slots that are available for removal or replacement of the devices.
After a slot is selected, the device populating that slot is Unconfigured; then the power
is removed from that slot. If the Unconfigure operation fails, it is possible that the device
is in use by another application. In this case, the customer or system administrator must
be notified to deactivate the device. If the Unconfigure operation is successful, the
visual indicator for the selected slot is set to the Remove state. After the device is
removed or replaced, the visual indicator, if available for the selected slot, is set to the
Normal state, and power is restored.
Note: Be sure that no other host is using the device before you remove it.
The Configure Added/Replaced Devices function runs the configuration manager on
the parent adapters that had child devices added or removed. This function ensures
that the devices in the configuration database are correctly configured.
Standalone Diagnostics has restrictions on using the SCSI Hot Plug Manager. For
example:
v
Replacement devices must be exactly the same type of device as the device being
replaced.
v
New devices may not be added unless a device of the same FRU part number
already exists in the system, because the configuration information for the new
device is not known after the Standalone Diagnostics are booted.
You can run this task directly from the command line. See the following command
syntax:
diag -d
device
-T"identifyRemove"
OR
diag [-c] -d
device
-T"identifyRemove -a
[identify|remove]"
Flag Description
-c Run the task without displaying menus. Only command line prompts
are used. This flag is only applicable when running an option such as
identify or remove.
-d Indicates the SCSI device.
-T Specifies the task to run.
-a Specifies the option under the task.
RAID Hot Plug Devices
This selection starts the PCI SCSI-2 F/W RAID Adapter Service Aid.
