Online Insertion and Removal
The Catalyst 6500 Series switch supports online insertion and removal (OIR) of the SPA interface
processor (SIP) or SPA services card (SSC), in addition to each of the shared port adapters (SPAs).
Therefore, you can remove a SIP or SSC with its SPAs still intact, or you can remove a SPA
independently from the SIP or SSC, leaving the SIP or SSC installed in the switch.
This section includes the following topics on OIR support:
• Preparing for Online Removal of a SIP or SSC, page 5-2
• Verifying Deactivation and Activation of a SIP or SSC, page 5-3
• Preparing for Online Removal of a SPA, page 5-4
• Verifying Deactivation and Activation of a SPA, page 5-6
• Deactivation and Activation Configuration Examples, page 5-6
Note For simplicity, any reference to “SIP” in this section also applies to the SSC.
Preparing for Online Removal of a SIP or SSC
The Catalyst 6500 Series switch supports OIR of the SIP and the SSC. To do this, you can power down
a SIP (which automatically deactivates any installed SPAs) and remove the SIP with the SPAs still intact.
Although graceful deactivation of a SIP is preferred using the no power enable module command, the
Catalyst
6500 Series switch does support removal of the SIP without deactivating it first. If you plan to
remove a SIP, you can deactivate the SIP first, using the no
power enable module global configuration
command. When you deactivate a SIP using this command, it automatically deactivates each of the SPAs
that are installed in that SIP. Therefore, it is not necessary to deactivate each of the SPAs prior to
deactivating the SIP.
