HP-UX Hardware Paths for nPartitions
HP System Partitions Guide: Administration for nPartitions, rev 5.1 77
Use the rad -q command to list all active PCI slots in an nPartition
along with their corresponding hardware paths. See PCI Card Slot
and Hardware Path Numbering on page 79.
• d
Is the card’s address on the slot’s PCI bus.
Typically this is 0 (zero), although the core I/O card has multiple
devices and addresses in a single card.
• e
Is the function for the I/O card. Typically this is 0 (zero) for
single-function cards.
• f
Is the target of the I/O device, or SCSI ID.
• g
Is a device-specific address such as a SCSI controller (initiator).
See the ioscan (1M) manpage for details on using ioscan to list
hardware path information.
Example 1-1 ioscan Output for a One-Cell HP Superdome nPartition
The following example shows ioscan output for a one-cell nPartition.
In this example, the hardware path for the cell is 12, indicating that the
cell is in slot 4 in cabinet 1. See Specifying Cells and I/O Chassis to
Commands on page 87 for details about cell path formats.
