Listing Cell and Partition Connections for I/O Expansion Cabinets
You can list which cells are connected to which I/O chassis—including chassis in an I/O Expansion
cabinet—by using the following methods:
• “GSP” on page 179
This procedure (IO command) lists all cell-to-I/O chassis connections from the GSP Command menu.
• “BCH” on page 179
This procedure (BCH Information menu, IO command) lists I/O chassis and PCI slot information for
currently active I/O chassis in the local partition.
• “HP-UX” on page 180
This procedure (parstatus -I or parstatus -C) lists cell-to-I/O chassis connections from HP-UX.
I/O Expansion cabinets are numbered 8 and 9.
GSP
This procedure (IO command) lists all cell-to-I/O chassis connections from the GSP Command
menu.
Step 1. Log in to the complex’s GSP and access its Command menu.
From the GSP main menu, enter CM to access the Command menu.
Step 2. Issue the IO command to list all cell-to-I/O chassis connections.
The cabinet, bay, and chassis connections for cells are listed below each cell’s “X” in the output.
BCH
This procedure (BCH Information menu, IO command) lists I/O chassis and PCI slot information
for currently active I/O chassis in the local partition.
Step 1. Access the BCH interface for the partition whose IO details you want, and access the Information
menu.
Step 2. Enter the IO command from the BCH Information menu.
The IO command lists which I/O chassis are connected to which active cells in the local partition,
and for each chassis it lists the PCI slots and any devices attached to the slots.
