It's my understanding that a CE has to physically install the hardware
in order to avoid voiding your warranty if something bad happens; e.g.,
you inadvertently blow the drawer's backplane. I've installed hot-plug
cards myself, though rarely, when I didn't have time to wait on the CE
to come on-site. With that given, here's what you need to do.
Make sure your devices are hot-pluggable.
Make sure that the hardware device drivers are installed.
If you have static LPAR's, make sure that the slot that you intend to
use is assigned to the desired LPAR.
Use the Hot Plug Device Manager task in diag to set the device insertion
state on the slot.
Run cfgmgr.
Verify that the new device is available.
Actually, I've found this is a pretty slick thing to do.
Regards,
James Jackson
