HP 9000 rp5400 Servers - Manual (Page 38)

Online Addition/Replacement (OLA/R) of PCI I/O cards
Beginning with HP-UX 11i (11.11) rp54xx servers support the on-line addition and replacement
of PCI I/O cards. In order for this high availability feature to be fully implemented, the following
server requirements must be met:
•
rp5400A/rp5450A firmware must be later than 40.26 (rp5400B/rp5450B/rp5470A firmware
will support OLA/R upon its release).
• HP-UX operating system must be 11i (11.11) or later.
There is a bit that the HP-UX operating system examines to determine if the server hardware
and firmware is capable of OLA/R. This bit is controlled by server firmware. If the bit is ON,
OLA/R is possible (when requirements have been met). The bit was mistakenly set to ON for all
rp5400 and rp5450 revision A (rp5400A and rp5450A) servers. As a result, HP-UX may incorrectly
identify these models as being OLA/R capable. In order to avoid this confusion, verify that the
correct level of server firmware is installed.
