| Chapter 2 Overview of replacement and extension of PCI cards |
This section describes outline to exchange PCI cards using PCI Hot Plug feature.
About software which makes PCI card redundantly, please refer to each manual of the software.
Before you exchange PCI cards without redundant software, you must stop applications which using the PCI cards. The replacement procedure of PCI cards is as follows.
Please refer to "Chapter 3 File devices" or "Chapter 4 Network devices" about detailed replacing procedure of PCI cards.
File devices procedures
Stop the hardware abnormal monitoring of the Machine Administration.
If you use the Fibre Channel Card (PW028FC3*/PW028FC4*/PW028FC5*), stop the daemons.
Specify the devices and interfaces that are influenced by replacing PCI cards.
Stop services and high layer products that are influenced by replacing PCI cards.
It changes into the state where the PCI card is exchangeable.
Replace the PCI card.
It changes into the state where the PCI card is usable.
Start high layer products and services used by the replaced PCI card.
If you use the Fibre Channel Card (PW028FC3*/PW028FC4*/PW028FC5*), start the daemons.
Update the hardware configuration information, and restart the hardware abnormal monitoring of the Machine Administration.
Network devices procedures
Stop the hardware abnormal monitoring of the Machine Administration.
Specify the devices and interfaces that are influenced by replacing PCI cards.
Stop services and high layer products that are influenced by replacing PCI cards.
It changes into the state where the PCI card is exchangeable.
Replace the PCI card.
It changes into the state where the PCI card is usable.
Start high layer products and services used by the replaced PCI card.
Update the hardware configuration information, and restart the hardware abnormal monitoring of the Machine Administration.
When exchanging PCI cards with redundant software, it is possible to exchange PCI cards without stopping services and applications. The replacement procedure of PCI cards is as follows.
Please refer to "Chapter 3 File devices" or "Chapter 4 Network devices" about detailed replacing procedure of PCI cards.
