Install/Configure Devices Added After IPL
The system attempts to configure any new devices and tries to find and install any
required software from a user-selected source.
The add, remove, and replace functions return information to the user indicating
whether the operation was successful. If additional instructions are provided on the
screen, complete the recommended actions. If the instructions do not resolve the
problem, see the following:
v
If the adapter is listed as
unknown
, perform the Install/Configure Devices Added
After IPL option to configure the adapter.
v
If you receive a warning indicating that the required device packages are not
installed, the system administrator must install the specified packages before you can
configure or diagnose the adapter.
v
If you receive a failure message indicating a hardware error, the problem might be
either the adapter or the PCI slot. Isolate the problem by retrying the operation in
another PCI slot, or trying another adapter in the slot. If you determine that you have
failing hardware, call your service representative.
