IBM SA38-0512-03 manual Name, Physical Logical Location Code Connection Identification

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

instance

number, and

[.n] is a sub-location instance

number

(where applicable). Sub-location notation is

used only

for

location types

which

have

clearly

defined

and

limited

expansion

sites;

for example, memory module slots on a

memory

card.

Primarily,

the

[.n]

sub-location

notation

is

intended

for

use

as an

abbreviation

of

the

location

code

in cases

where:

1. Based

on

the device

structure,

the abbreviated sub-location

code

conveys

the

same information in a more concise

form

than an

additional

level

of

location

identifier

-

for

example:

ŸP1-M1.4 (pluggable module 4 on Memory Card 1 on Planar 1), rather than 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 Planar 2), rather than P2-Z1-A3-A1

2. The

sub-location is

either a

basic physical extension or sub-enclosure of the

base

location, but

does

not

represent additional function or connectivity; for

example,

a

drawer

in a

rack

(U1.2) or

a riser card on an I/O board (P2.1).
