CHAPTER 4 PCI Card Hot Maintenance in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
4.7 Hot Addition of PCI Express cards
NIC addition procedure
This section describes the procedure for hot plugging only a network card.
Note
When adding multiple NICs, be sure to add them one by one. If you do this with multiple cards at the same
time, the correct settings may not be made.
1. Confirm the existing interface names.
To confirm the interface names, execute the following command.
Example: eth0 is the only interface on the NIC.
# /sbin/ifconfig -a
eth0

2. Confirm the slot number of the PCI Express slot by using the following procedure.
See 'Confirming the slot number of a PCI Express slot' in
in detail".
3. Confirm that power status of the PCI Express slot
See 'Checking the power status of a PCI Express slot' in
in detail".
4. Physically add the target NIC by using MMB Maintenance Wizard.
For details on the operation of replacement, see step 1 to 7 of 'Operation for Hot replacement of PCI
Express card by Maintenance Wizard' in
This step is performed by the field engineer in charge of your system.
5. Power on the PCI Express slot.
See 'Powering on and off PCI Express slots' in
6. Check whether there is an error in added FC card by MMB Maintenance Wizard.
This step is performed by the field engineer in charge of your system.
For details on the operation of replacement, see step 8 to 11 of 'Operation for Hot replacement of PCI
Express card by Maintenance Wizard' in
7. Confirm the newly added interface name.
Powering on the slot creates an interface (ethX) for the added NIC. Execute the following command.
Compare its results with those of step 1 to confirm the created interface name.
# /sbin/ifconfig –a
