Specifying Cells and I/O Chassis
When you use the HP-UX Superdome configuration commands to
manage, configure, and inquire about cells and I/O chassis, you must use
the cell and I/O chassis notation described in this section.
Cell Format Use either of the following two formats to specify cells when using the
HP-UX Superdome configuration commands:
• Global Cell Number Format
This cell ID format is identical to the cells’ HP-UX hardware path, as
reported by ioscan.
In global format, cells in cabinet 0 are numbered from 0 to 7, and on
SD64000 servers cells in cabinet 1 are numbered from 8 to 15.
• Cell Hardware Location Format
This cell ID format uses two numbers to represent each cell: the
cabinet ID and the cabinet-relative cell ID (the cell slot where the cell
resides).
In hardware location format, cells in cabinet 0 are numbered from 0/0
to 0/7, and on SD64000 servers cells in cabinet 1 are numbered from
1/0 to 1/7.
