Add a NIC to the PCI slot.
Turn on power to the PCI slot.
For details, see the manuals for PRIMEQUEST.
# echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/slots/"<BUS-number_slot-number>"/power |
Check the hardware address.
An interface (ethX) is created for the added NIC when power is turned on. Execute the ifconfig (8) command to check the hardware address (HWaddr) of the created interface. To add more NICs, repeat steps 2 to 5.
Perform post-addition processing.
1) The added NICs must be activated at system startup. For this purpose, make the settings shown below in each interface setting file (/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth<x>). Specify the hardware address that was checked in Step 5 for "HWADDR". Also specify "HOTPLUG=no".

Check the hardware address.
An interface (ethX) is created for the swapped NIC when power is turned on. Execute the ifconfig (8) command to check the hardware address of the swapped NIC (HWaddr).
Perform post-swap processing.
1) Change the specified value of "HWADDR" in the interface setting file (/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth<x>) to the hardware address of the swapped NIC that was checked in Step 8.

Specify the same interface name and hardware address in the nameif (8) command as those in "DEVICE" and "HWADDR" in the ifcfg-ethX file that was set in 1) of step 9. When the nameif (8) command is executed, the specified interface must be deactivated.
# /sbin/nameif ethX ZZ:ZZ:ZZ:ZZ:ZZ:ZZ |
3) Set the state of the swapped NIC to that of a standby NIC of GLS. Confirm that an IPv4 address is not assigned and the "UP" and "NOARP" flags are set. If an IPv6 address is assigned to the virtual interface, this step is not necessary.

5) Start standby patrol monitoring. If the standby patrol function is not used, skip this step.
# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/strptl -n shaY |
6) Restart hub monitoring.
# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetpoll on |
7) Restart interface status monitoring.
# /bin/rm /var/opt/FJSVhanet/tmp/disable_watchif |
8) Restore the PCI Hot Plug driver. If you have installed the PCI Hot Plug driver according to 1., execute the following command to remove it.
# /sbin/modprobe -r pciehp |
For Virtual NIC mode
Confirm that the PCI Hot Plug driver is installed.
If the PCI Hot Plug driver is not installed, install it according to the manuals for PRIMEQUEST.
Confirmation procedure
# lsmod | grep pciehp pciehp 75093 0 |
Installation procedure
# /sbin/modprobe pciehp |
Prepare for swapping a card.
1) Stop network monitoring.
# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetpathmon off |
2) From the virtual interface definition, temporarily delete the definition information about the NIC to be swapped.
# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetnic delete -n shaX -i ethX |
3) Enter the dsphanet command to confirm that the device status of the NIC is "CUT".
# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/dsphanet
[IPv4,Patrol / Virtual NIC]
Name Status Mode CL Device
+----------+--------+----+----+------------------------------------------------+
shaX Active v OFF ethX(CUT),ethY(ON) |
4) Deactivate the NIC.
# /sbin/ifdown ethX |
Turn off power to the target PCI slot.
The interface (ethX) is deleted when power is turned off. For details, see the manuals for PRIMEQUEST.
# echo 0 > /sys/bus/pci/slots/"<BUS-number_slot-number>"/power |
Swap the NIC in the PCI slot.
Backup setting files.
If you are using RHEL5 for the operating system, backup the following files.
# cp /etc/modprobe.conf /etc/modprobe.conf.bak # mv /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX \ /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX.bak |
Turn on power to the PCI slot.
For details, see the manuals for PRIMEQUEST.
# echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/slots/"<BUS-number_slot-number>"/power |
Collect the current hardware information
When using RHEL5, take the following steps to collect hardware information. Also, restore the files backed up in Step 5. For details, see the manuals for PRIMEQUEST.
# /sbin/kudzu # cp /etc/modprobe.conf.bak /etc/modprobe.conf # mv /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX.bak \ /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX |
Check the hardware address.
An interface (ethX) is created for the swapped NIC when power is turned on. Execute the ifconfig (8) command to check the hardware address of the created interface (HWaddr). For details, see the manuals for PRIMEQUEST.
Perform post-swap processing.
1) Change the specified value of "HWADDR" in the interface setting file (/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth<x>) to the hardware address of the swapped NIC that was checked in Step 8.
ifcfg-ethX (Swapped NIC)
DEVICE=ethX BOOTPROTO=static HWADDR=ZZ:ZZ:ZZ:ZZ:ZZ:ZZ |
2) Restore the PCI Hot Plug driver. If you have installed the PCI Hot Plug driver according to 1., execute the following command to remove it.
# /sbin/modprobe -r pciehp |
3) Activate the swapped NIC.
# /sbin/ifup ethX |
4) Restore the NIC definition that was temporarily deleted prior to swapping in 1) of Step 2).
# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetnic add -n shaX -i ethX |
5) Enter the dsphanet command to confirm that the device status of the swapped NIC is "OFF".
# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/dsphanet [IPv4,Patrol / Virtual NIC] Name Status Mode CL Device +----------+--------+----+----+------------------------------------------------+ shaX Active v OFF ethX(OFF),ethY(ON) |
6) If necessary, fail-back the NIC.
# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetnic change -n shaX -i ethX |
7) Restart network monitoring.
# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetpathmon on |
For GS linkage mode
Confirm that the PCI Hot Plug driver is installed.
If the PCI Hot Plug driver is not installed, install it according to the manuals for PRIMEQUEST.
Confirmation procedure
# lsmod | grep pciehp pciehp 75093 0 |
Installation procedure
# /sbin/modprobe pciehp |
Prepare for swapping a card.
1) From the virtual interface definition, temporarily delete the definition information about the NIC to be swapped.
# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetnic delete -n shaX -i ethX |

Turn off power to the target PCI slot.
The interface (ethX) is deleted when power is turned off. For details, see the manuals for PRIMEQUEST.
# echo 0 > /sys/bus/pci/slots/"<BUS-number_slot-number>"/power |
Swap the NIC in the PCI slot.
Backup setting files.
If you are using RHEL5 for the operating system, backup the following files.
# cp /etc/modprobe.conf /etc/modprobe.conf.bak # mv /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX \ /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX.bak |
Turn on power to the PCI slot.

Perform post-swap processing.
1) Change the specified value of "HWADDR" in the interface setting file (/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth<x>) to the hardware address of the swapped NIC that was checked in Step 8.

NETWORK=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet |
2) Change the interface name of the swapped NIC to the name specified in the interface setting file (/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth<x>). Specify the same interface name and hardware address in the nameif (8) command as those in "DEVICE" and "HWADDR" in the ifcfg-ethX file that was set in 1) of step 9. When the nameif (8) command is executed, the specified interface must be deactivated.
# /sbin/nameif ethX ZZ:ZZ:ZZ:ZZ:ZZ:ZZ |
3) Restore the NIC definition that was temporarily deleted prior to swapping in 1) of Step 2).
# /opt/FJSVhanet/usr/sbin/hanetnic add -n shaX -i ethX |
