42
Interfaces to OLAR
• System Administration Manager, SAM
– Graphical user interface (GUI)– The primary interface
• rad– Command line interface– Developed for single-user mode when SAM not yet available– Not generally recommended
![Page 23: SAM & OLAR](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56814f46550346895dbce877/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
44
Planning and Preparation Issues
• Slot compatibility• Driver compatibility• Impact on the system
– To the OS– To SAM– To other applications
![Page 24: SAM & OLAR](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56814f46550346895dbce877/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
46
Considerations for Critical Resources
• Critical resource: a resource that, if lost, would cause the system to crash, or the OLA/R operation to fail
• Examples:– Swap partition– /, /usr, /etc, and /var filesystems– Network card carrying connection for SAM displayed on a
remote machine
![Page 25: SAM & OLAR](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56814f46550346895dbce877/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
48
Considerations for Power Domains
• Does not affect SuperDome
Every slot is an individual power domain
Other Systems• Power domain:
A grouping of 2 or more interface card slots that are powered on or off as a unit.
• In many cases, there exist dependencies between other interface cards, slots, and power domains within the system.
![Page 26: SAM & OLAR](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56814f46550346895dbce877/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
50
Considerations for Multi-Function I/O Cards
• All functions on the same power source• Must suspend all functions to remove the card• Must resume all functions to bring the card back• Must account for multiple affected cards in the critical
resource analysis
![Page 27: SAM & OLAR](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56814f46550346895dbce877/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
52
Failover
• Failover means that the system will use an alternate resource if the primary resource is unavailable
• Critical resource analysis will prevent suspension of resources that do not have an alternate
• The system may operate with a single point of failure for a short time
![Page 28: SAM & OLAR](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56814f46550346895dbce877/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
54
Online Card Replacement
• Replacement card must be identical type of card• Must use same driver• Must have same number of functions or ports• Must have compatible power and frequency requirements• Single point of failure may result when card is suspended and
its backup takes over
![Page 29: SAM & OLAR](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56814f46550346895dbce877/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
56
Card Replacement with SAM
• Start SAM• Select Peripheral Devices--> Cards• From the Sys Admin view of active I/O adapters, choose the
adapter to be replaced• Select PCI slot, then Replace action
– SAM analyzes critical resources• Physically remove old card and insert new card• SAM finishes replacement by restarting card
![Page 30: SAM & OLAR](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56814f46550346895dbce877/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Overview of Online Replacement with rad
• Determine slot, path and drivers capable fields• Set the selected cards attention state to flash• Critical Resource Analysis (manually)
– Power Domain– Multi-function card– Driver time-out value for card
• Execute /etc/olard.d scripts for the selected card• Power off slot• Replace the card• Power on slot• Run /etc/oldard.d/post_replace scripts• Run ioscan and rad to verify correct function of card• Turn the selected card’s attention LED off

84
Online Addition with SAM
• Check that the driver exists in the kernel• Check that an available slot exists on the system in
an appropriate location• Check that the new card is compatible
![Page 44: SAM & OLAR](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56814f46550346895dbce877/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
86
Online Addition with/sbin/rad
• Check that the driver exists in the kernel• Check that an available slot exists on the system in
an appropriate location• Check that the new card is compatible
![Page 45: SAM & OLAR](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062500/56814f46550346895dbce877/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
88
Possible Errors
• The card is in a slot that is not managed by the correct partition
• The driver is not loaded in the kernel• The power domain is shared with a critical resource
