Unconfigure a Device
Allows the user to put an existing PCI adapter into the Defined state if the device is no
longer in use.
This step must be completed successfully before starting any removal or replacement
operation. If this step fails, the customer must take action to release the device.
Configure a Defined Device
Allows a new PCI adapter to be configured into the system if software support is
already available for the adapter. The selected PCI slot will go into the On state.
Install/Configure Devices Added After IPL
The system attempts to configure any new devices and tries to find and install any
required software from a user-selected source.
The add, remove, and replace functions return information to the user indicating
whether the operation was successful. If additional instructions are provided on the
screen, complete the recommended actions. If the instructions do not resolve the
problem, do the following:
v If the adapter is listed as Unknown, perform the Install/Configure Devices Added
After IPL option to configure the adapter.
v If you receive a warning indicating that needed device packages are not installed, the
system administrator must install the specified packages before you can configure or
diagnose the adapter.
v If you receive a failure message indicating a hardware error, the problem might be
either the adapter or the PCI slot. Isolate the problem by retrying the operation in a
different PCI slot, or trying a different adapter in the slot. If you determine that you
have failing hardware, call your service representative.
v
Do not
use Install/Configure Devices Added After IPL if your system is set up to
run HACMP clustering. Consult with your system administrator or software support to
determine the correct method to configure the replacement device.
