Use hotplug and turn on/off PCI device for replacing NIC
- by Ryota Hashimoto
How can I turn off the PCI slots and change the device (especially NIC) without shutting the server down?
I found a similar question (How do I turn off PCI devices?) but there are no /sys/bus/pci/slot and no files in /sys/bus/pci/slots.
I'm using 12.04 LTS.
