Yes, at least that's what I always did. It seemed to be the correct
procedure according to the CE, and it's the way it's documented in the
p670 Service Guide. FYI, I left out the first step.
Install the card in a blind swap cassette (which I'd leave up to the
CE).
Also, you can initiate cfgmgr as a menu selection from PCI Hot-Plug
Manager.

thanks a lot
where exactly (time) do I let the CE install the card? after
setting "device insertion state"?

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

Hello,
I have to add fibre-channel and ethernetcards to
a p670 while its running in production.
Anybody done that? Gotches, experiences, howtos
?
Regards,
Holger
