Replace HBA card using sam remove/add option

[jerrym]

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?

1. on 11.31 it works like this:

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

   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).

2. Replace the HBA with a new compatible HBA of similar type in the same slot.

3. Bring the replaced HBA back into the configuration. Enter the following:

   # /usr/bin/olrad -q

4. Enter the following command after you replace the HBA:

   # /usr/bin/olrad -R slot_ID 

5. 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

6. 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.
