| Chapter 2 Overview of replacement and extension of PCI cards |
This section describes outline to extend PCI cards using PCI Hot Plug feature.
About software which makes PCI card redundantly, please refer to each manual of the software.
When not using the redundant configuration software, the extension procedure of PCI cards is as follows.
Please refer to "Chapter 3 File devices" or "Chapter 4 Network devices" about detailed extending procedure of PCI cards.
File devices procedures
Setup devices which will be added to system in the case of file devices on Solaris 8 OE.
Stop the hardware abnormal monitoring of the Machine Administration.
If you use the Fibre Channel Card (PW028FC3*/PW028FC4*/PW028FC5*), stop the daemons.
Extend PCI cards.
It changes into the state where the PCI card is usable.
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.
If you use SAN management function, preparation to recognize devices.
Add the driver configuration of PCI cards
Add the configuration of device driver in the case of file devices.
Configure the high layer products and services about extended PCI cards.
Start high layer products and services used by the replaced PCI card.
Network devices procedures
Setup devices which will be added to system in the case of file devices on Solaris 8 OE.
Stop the hardware abnormal monitoring of the Machine Administration.
Extend PCI cards.
It changes into the state where the PCI card is usable.
Update the hardware configuration information, and restart the hardware abnormal monitoring of the Machine Administration.
Connect equipment to PCI cards.
Add the driver configuration of PCI cards
Add the configuration of device driver in the case of file devices.
Configure the high layer products and services about extended PCI cards.
Start high layer products and services used by the replaced PCI card.
The procedure of using the extended PCI card and establishing a new redundant configuration is as follows.
Please refer to "Chapter 3 File devices" or "Chapter 4 Network devices" about detailed extending procedure of PCI cards.
