Accessing Hot-Plug Management Functions:
Note:
Removing or installing a Hot-Pluggable PCI adapter requires the system administrator to take the
PCI adapter offline prior to performing the operation. Before taking an adapter offline, the devices
attached to the adapter must be taken offline as well. This action prevents a service representative
or user from causing an unexpected outage for system users.
For additional information about taking an adapter offline or removing it from the system
configuration, see the
AIX System Management Guide: Operating System and Devices
.
Documentation for the AIX operating system is available from the IBM
Eserver
pSeries Information
Center at http://publib16.boulder.ibm.com/pseries/en_US/infocenter/base. Select
AIX
documentation
. The
AIX Documentation
CD contains the base set of publications for the operating
system, including system-management and end-user documentation.
To access the hot-plug menus, do the following:
1. Log in as root user. If the system is a partitioned system, log in as root user on the partition that has
the adapter assigned to it.

holds an “Unknown” device, select the
Install/Configure Devices Added after IPL

adapter in that slot.
Add a PCI Hot-Plug Adapter

this option to work, the adapter must be in the
