UPDATE:
The Compaq PCI Hot Plug driver has been in the kernel since
version 2.4.16. The code and documentation on this site are
no longer needed.

The
Compaq PCI Hot Plug driver for Linux is part of a project to add
support for PCI Hot Plug into the Linux kernel. This project
includes source for a driver (cpqphp.o) for the Compaq PCI Hot Plug
controller found in Compaq ProLiant and other servers. Also, there
are GUI and command-line interfaces to PCI Hot Plug. Using this
software and a 2.4 Linux kernel, it is possible to add or remove
most PCI adapters in a server with the supporting hardware. |
.
The
user interfaces for this project offer a simple way to manage and
view detailed information about PCI devices in hot-pluggable
servers. They are also able to provide valuable information on
non-hotpluggable slots and the adapters in them.

As
the world's leading server provider, Compaq has taken a leadership
role in developing industry-standard technologies. Enabling
PCI Hot Plug for Linux is just one example of Compaq's commitment
to open standards and supporting industry standard hardware in Linux.
