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, indicating 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, indicating 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.
The Unconfigure Devices function attempts to put the selected device, in the PCI
hot-plug slot, into the Defined state. This action must be done before any attempted
hot-plug function. If the unconfigure function fails, it is possible that the device is still in
use by another application. In this case, the customer or system administrator must be
notified to deactivate the device.
The Configure Devices function allows of a newly added adapter to be configured into
the system for use. This function should also be done when a new adapter is added to
the system.
