Suggested Naming Conventions for Adapters
processorid
specifies the process in which the LANMON is running. For example, #ZLM01
specifies the LANMON in processor 1.
group
is in the range of 110 through 115 for IOAM enclosures installed in NonStop
NS16000 systems or NonStop BladeSystems. For IOAM enclosures installed in
NonStop NS14000 and NS1000 servers and for VIO enclosures, the group is 100.
(VIO enclosures are available in H06.08 and subsequent H-series RVUs.)
module
identifies whether the G4SA is installed in module 2 or 3 of an IOAM or VIO
enclosure. A module is either 2 or 3.
slot
is the G4SA’s physical slot number in the IOAM or the slot numbers in a VIO
enclosure that contains the Ethernet ports.
port
is the G4SA or VIO enclosure Ethernet port physical interface (PIF). A PIF is part
of the SLSA subsystem and represents the physical port on the G4SA or the
physical port in slot 6 or 7 of the VIO enclosure.
Suggested Naming Conventions for Adapters
Here are some guidelines for naming adapters:

Follow the SLSA naming specification: no more than eight alphanumeric
characters, with the first character being a letter

Base that first letter character on the type of adapters in your system. For example:

Use an A for ATM (for example A0153), C for CCSA, E for E4SA, F for FESA,
G for GESA, G for G4SA, or T for TRSA. Use the SCF ADD ADAPTER
Command on page 4-15 to name your adapters.

A name that started with the letter M would indicate the Ethernet port on the
processor multifunction CRU.

Identify the adapter by using a number based on the processor enclosure, IOAM
enclosure, or I/O enclosure in which the adapter is installed.
Note. Supported G4SA installation slots differ by system model. To determine the
supported installation slots for your adapters, see the planning guide for your system (for
example, the NonStop NS1000 Planning Guide). Ethernet ports in the VIO enclosure, also
represented by the G4SA adapter type in SLSA, go in slots 6 and 7. For information about
the VIO enclosure, see the Versatile I/O Manual.
