IBM RS/6000 7043 43P manual AIX Location Codes, Ab-Cd-Ef-G,H

Specifically, the format of a location code is defined as follows:

pn[.n][- or /]pn[.n][- or /]...

Where

p is a

defined

alpha

location type prefix,

n is

a

location

instan

[.n] is a sub-location instance

number

(where applicable). Sub-location notation

used only

for

location types

which

have clearly

defined

and

limited

expa

for example, memory module slots on

a memory card. Primarily, the

[.n]

sub-lo

notation

is

intended for

use

as an

abbreviation

of

the

location

code in

1.Based on the device structure, the abbreviated sub-location code co same information in a more concise form than an additional level of loca

identifier - for example:

ŸP1-M1.4 (pluggable module 4 on Memory Card 1 on Planar 1), rather th P1-M1-M4

ŸP1-C1.1 (pluggable CPU 1 on CPU Card 1 on Planar 1), rather than P1-C1-C1

ŸP2-Z1-A3.1 (LUN 1 at SCSI ID 3 on integrated SCSI bus 1 from Plana rather than P2-Z1-A3-A1

2.The sub-location is either a basic physical extension or sub-enclosure base location, but does not represent additional function or connectivity

example, a drawer in a rack (U1.2) or a riser card on an I/O boa
