On HP Superdome servers, the chassis number is:
— 1 — Chassis 1, the left chassis in the bay, as viewed when facing
the bay/chassis.
— 3 — Chassis 3, the right chassis in the bay, as viewed when facing
the bay/chassis.
In HP Superdome servers all chassis are 12-slot I/O chassis, both in
Compute cabinets and in I/O Expansion cabinets.
The example below shows the parstatus command listing details about
two different I/O chassis (cabinet 0/bay 0/chassis 1, and cabinet 0/bay
1/chassis 3).
Use the parstatus -I command to list all I/O chassis within a server
complex, regardless of the chassis cell connections and partition
assignments.
Use the rad -q command to list the currently available PCI I/O slots in
the local partition and their status.
In the following example, both the parstatus and rad commands show
details for various chassis and slots, including chassis 0/1/3.
