Installing Adapter Hardware
The Online Addition and Replacement feature, OL* for the HP-UX 11i v3 release, enables PCI
host bus adapters to be added or replaced without shutting down and rebooting the system, and
without adversely affecting other system components. The system hardware uses slot-specific
power control, combined with HP-UX operating system support, to enable these features.
