The Hot-Plug Task has a restriction when running in Standalone or Online Service mode; new devices
cannot be added to the system unless there is already a device with the same FRU part number installed
in the system. This restriction is in place because the device software package for the new device cannot
be installed in Standalone or Online Service mode.
Depending on the environment and the software packages installed, selecting this task displays the
following subtasks:
v PCI Hot-Plug Manager
v SCSI Hot Swap ManagerSCSI and SCSI RAID hot-plug Manager
v RAID Hot-Plug Devices
To run the Hot-Plug Task directly from the command line, type the following: diag -T"identifyRemove"
If you are running the diagnostics in Online Concurrent mode, run the Missing Options Resolution
Procedure immediately after removing any device.
If the Missing Options Resolution Procedure runs with no menus or prompts, device configuration is
complete. Otherwise, work through the missing options menu to complete device configuration in
diagnostics prior to version 5.2.0. In diagnostics version 5.2.0 and later, select the device that has an
uppercase
M
in front of it in the resource list so that missing options processing can be done on that
resource.
PCI Hot-Plug Manager
The PCI Hot-Plug Manager task is a SMIT menu that allows you to identify, add, remove, or replace PCI
adapters that are hot-pluggable. The following functions are available under this task:
v
List PCI Hot-Plug Slots
v
Add a PCI Hot-Plug Adapter
v
Replace/Remove a PCI Hot-Plug Adapter
v
Identify a PCI Hot-Plug Slot
v
Unconfigure Devices
v
Configure Devices
v
Install/Configure Devices Added After IPL
The List PCI Hot-Plug Slots function lists all PCI hot-plug slots. Empty slots and populated slots are
listed. Populated slot information includes the connected logical device. The slot name consists of the
physical location code and the description of the physical characteristics for the slot.
The Add a PCI Hot-Plug Adapter function is used to prepare a slot for the addition of a new adapter. The
function lists all the empty slots that support hot-plug. When a slot is selected, the visual indicator for the
slot blinks at the Identify rate. After the slot location is confirmed, the visual indicator for the specified PCI
slot is set to the Action state. This means the power for the PCI slot is off and the new adapter can be
plugged in.
The Replace/Remove a PCI Hot-Plug Adapter function is used to prepare a slot for adapter exchange.
The function lists all the PCI slots that support hot plug and are occupied. The list includes the slot’s
physical location code and the device name of the resource installed in the slot. The adapter must be in
the Defined state before it can be prepared for hot-plug removal. When a slot is selected, the visual
indicator for the slot is set to the Identify state. After the slot location is confirmed, the visual indicator for
the specified PCI slot is set to the Action state. This means the power for the PCI slot is off, and the
adapter can be removed or replaced.
The Identify a PCI Hot-Plug Slot function is used to help identify the location of a PCI hot-plug adapter.
The function lists all the PCI slots that are occupied or empty and support hot-plug. When a slot is
selected for identification, the visual indicator for the slot is set to the Identify state.
