Specifying Cells and I/O Chassis to Commands
Use the cell and I/O chassis notation described in this section when you
manage, configure, and inquire about cells and I/O chassis using the
HP-UX nPartition configuration commands.
Details are in the Cell Format and I/O Format sections that follow.
Cell Format
Use either of the following two formats to specify cells when using the
HP-UX nPartition configuration commands: Global Cell Number Format
or Cell Hardware Location Format.
• Global Cell Number Format
This cell ID format is identical to the cells’ HP-UX hardware path, as
reported by ioscan.
In global format, each cell is given a single unique number that
indicates the cell’s relative location in the entire server complex.
