Re: re : rp8420 problem
That's a windows term! I presume you mean "can I add the cell board online?"
Well the rp8420 being based on sx1000, I'm pretty sure that cell OLAD wasn't supported. So you can physically add the new cell board to your system, but it will take a reboot to get it added to an existing nPar on the system.
Are you going to do this yourself? If the cell board has the same firmware rev as the other boards already in the system, it should be reasonably painless. If not, then its pretty complex - any reason you aren't having an HP engineer do this for you?

Re: re : rp8420 problem
I am not sure what you want to ask , are you trying to add a new cell board to the npar.
Please send parstatus -V output, i don`t think it can be done on fly.
Thanks

Re: re : rp8420 problem
1.You have to brought down the Npar which is currently running.
2.Then physically install the new cellboard.
3.Boot the system to pdc and check the Firmware of the new cell board, if it is not same as old cell board, you need to duplicate the f/w.
4.Then boot the system to OS, do the parmodify to add the cell board, then reboot with "-R".
The new cell board will be added to your existing npar.
Thanks,
Shan

Re: re : rp8420 problem
If you don't want to update the latest firmware, then login to the MP after the physical installation of cell board.then
MP:cm>dfw
you need to select the source and destination, for f/w duplication.
Thanks,
Shan
