Redundant Host API

 

SlotPath

The slot path from the root bus to the device. The slot path is stored as a

 

null-terminated sequence of two-character groups. Each group describes

 

one item of the slot path and represents the number (DeviceNumber * 8

 

+ FunctionNumber) for the corresponding PCI-PCI bridge in

 

hexadecimal. The two hexadecimal digits of this number are represented

 

by two characters from the set ‘0’..’9’, ‘A’..’F’.

BusNumber

The bus number for the device. This value is 16 bit to accommodate

 

possible future extensions to PCI that allow more than 256 PCI buses in

 

the system

DeviceNumber

The device number for the device

FunctionNumber

The function number for the device

Device configuration attributes (all based on PCI configuration space attributes):

VendorID/DeviceID/RevisionID

Identifies the manufacturer of the device that provides the PCI interface for the slot, the specific device product among those made by that manufacturer, and the revision level of that device.

SubsystemVendorID/SubsystemID

Identifies the manufacturer of the board and the specific board product among those made by that manufacturer.

BaseClass/SubClass/ProgIF

Identifies the type of device and its programming interface

HeaderType -

Identifies the layout of the second part of the pre-defined header of the

 

device that provides the PCI interface for the slot (for example, 0 for

 

conventional PCI device, 1 for PCI-PCI bridge).

The field NeedsReset indicates whether this device in its current state needs to be reset if switchover takes place. The value RESET_NOT_REQUIRED in this field means one of the following things:

The device is already prepared for switchover.

The device is not in use.

The driver for the device is switchover-aware and is able to correctly bring it into a safe state after the switchover.

The value UNKNOWN means that the infrastructure does not know whether or not the device needs reset.
