Multi-Function Cards
HP System Partitions Guide: Administration for nPartitions, rev 5.1 377
To list all functions provided by a PCI card slot, use the rad -h slot
command. For example, the following rad command lists all hardware
paths associated with slot 0-1-3-8 (cabinet 0, bay 1, chassis 3, slot 8).
# rad -h 0-1-3-8
0/0/11/0/0
0/0/11/0/1
#
As the above example shows, slot 0-1-3-8 has two functions, one at each
of the hardware paths listed.
To list all drivers bound to a multi-function card, use the rad -c slot
command.
To list additional details about a multi-function card, use the
ioscan -H path command and specify only the first three fields
(cell/SBA/LBA) of the card’s hardware path.
On HP nPartition servers, each card slot has its own local bus adapter
(LBA) that is shared by all ports on the card that occupies the slot. For
example, the following ioscan command lists two SCSI ports that are
provided by the card at hardware path 0/0/11.
# ioscan -H 0/0/11
