PCI Hot-Plug Manager Access
The installation instructions for hot-pluggable PCI adapters refer you to these
procedures when it is appropriate to perform them.
Note: A PCI adapter is only hot-pluggable if the PCI adapter supports hot-plug
applications. See the PCI Adapter Placement Reference, order number
SA38-0538.
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. This publication is available at the following Web address:
http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/aix/library/. Select Technical Publications. This
publication is also located on the
AIX Documentation CD. The documentation
information is made accessible by loading the documentation CD files onto the
hard disk or by mounting the CD in the CD-ROM drive.
