Replace HBA card using sam remove/add option

jerrym — Thu, 02 Aug 2012 14:00:34 GMT

Has anyone tried replacing a bad HBA fiber card using sam remove/add option? HP-UX 11.11

OLRAD is on 11.23 and 11.31. But is it available for 11.11?

on 11.31 it works like this:

notice to WWPN (world wide port numbers) that will be changes after the change of the hba:

root@mybox:~#

find out slot_ID of HBA-Card to change usinf cstm.

Prepare to replace the HBA:
```
# /usr/bin/olrad -r slot_ID      
```
The above command performs a Critical Resource Analysis (CRA).
Replace the HBA with a new compatible HBA of similar type in the same slot.
Bring the replaced HBA back into the configuration. Enter the following:
```
# /usr/bin/olrad -q
```
Enter the following command after you replace the HBA:
```
# /usr/bin/olrad -R slot_ID 
```
Verify the success of the operation. The slot power should be ON, driver is OLAR capable, and so on.
```
# /usr/bin/olrad -q slot_ID
```
Perform an operating system device scan to re-discover the LUNs. Enter the following:
```
# ioscan -fn
```
Lookup new WWPNs using fclputil or fcdutil; then update zoning to use new WWPN.
