hot-swap device

Good,

What are the steps to follow in sam to replace a defective FC HBA without causing any down time.

model: L3000-6x PA-RISC HPUX 11.11

[Michael Steele_2]

HBA will reside in a TURBO I/O slot. You will cause a HPMC (panic) is you remove the card while power is up. (or worse). Refer to adding I/O cards below

Hi
start by looking if the card is olar enable:
OLAR Fonctionality in LClass
model
9000/800/L3000-5x
rad -q
rad:ERROR:No such device
The following drivers needs to be configured into the kernel
olar_psm
olar_psm_if
dev_olar
checked into the /stand/system file if there were all drivers installed
grep olar* /stand/system
no driver is installed
I checked with sam the status about this drivers.
These drivers are not available via sam!!!
I used the kmsystem command to get all drivers printed, there are all olar
drivers with N marked!
I used the following procedure to fix that:
1. kmsystem -c y dev_olar
2. kmsystem -c y olar_psm
3. kmsystem -c y olar_psm_if
4.checked if now all drivers are inclused into the system file
used grep olar* /stand/system
dev_olar
olar_psm_if
olar_psm
5. mk_kernel -s /stand/system -o /stand/vmunix
6.kmupdate
7. shutdown -r 0
and now olar works fine
...


All the best
Victor
