P Series Server Slot Finding Mapping location codes

Mapping location codes

There is no map to AIX location codes from physical location codes. lscfg -vl and lsdev -Cl can be compared for device mapping.
For example:

U7845.001.3975C3-P1-C5

This would be machine type 7845 (9111 or 9117 or 9406 type won't be shown).
Then .001 will be the first drawer of it.

P570s and smaller don't have a .002
The next # is the serial number of the drawer to help locate.
This MIGHT not match the sticker on the front
P1 = Planar 1 (most I/O drawers have only 1)
C6 means card slot 6.

The most common other "slot" types include:
T = Terminal, or built in port. On a p570, T15 is the IDE controller for the DVD-ROM and T12 is an integrated SCSI.
For a p570 with only one CD-ROM, the default location if Bus 3, Slot T15 which is the top ultrabay 2000 slot in the front of the CEC with the operator panel for multi-drawer systems.

p570 I/O location example

Here is a list of an example P570 with an AS/400 I/O Tower and internal PCI raid feature 5709.
