Installing Hardware Options, Hot-Pluggable SCO/Caldera UnixWare Supported PCI Hot Plug Functionality HP support of PCI Hot Plug within Caldera Open UNIX 8 and SCO UnixWare 7.1.1 or later, provides full PCI Hot Plug capability for most PCI expansion boards including: • Hot-add • Hot-replace • Hot-removal • Hot-upgrade You can eliminate downtime when you replace faulty expansion boards, upgrade your systems, and dynamically add new expansion boards. IMPORTANT: SCO UnixWare 7.1.1 runs PCI or PCI-X adapters under PCI mode only. For running PCI-X I/O expansion boards in PCI-X mode, you must upgrade the operating system to SCO UnixWare 7.1.3 or later and install the PCI-X drivers located on the SCO UnixWare 7.1.3 CD #2. Software Components The primary software components for hot-plug support include: • Hot-plug user interface Admin Manager • Hot-plug controller interface • Hot-plug system and device drivers • Device Driver Interface (DDI-8) specification The Admin Manager is the graphical or character-based user interface for PCI Hot Plug technology. All user commands to add, remove, or replace an expansion board funnel through the Admin Manager. The Hot Plug Admin Manager is incorporated into the SCO system-managed framework called SCO Admin. 5-48 HP ProLiant DL760 Generation 2 Server User Guide
