Mapping of Global Cell Numbers to Local Cell Numbers
The cabinets in a complex are numbered starting from 0. The cell slots in each cabinet are also
numbered starting from 0. Each cabinet can have a maximum of eight cells. For example, the
cells located in cabinet 0 will have the following cell numbers in global format: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,
7. The corresponding local format cell numbers are: 0/0, 0/1, 0/2, 0/3, 0/4, 0/5, 0/6, 0/7.
Similarly the cells located in cabinet 1 will have the following cell numbers in global format: 8,
9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15. The corresponding local format cell numbers are: 1/0, 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5,
1/6, 1/7.
For example, the cell located in cabinet 1, slot 0 is identified in local format as 1/0 and in global
format as 8. The parstatus command will display this cell as cab1,cell0. For another example,
the cell located in cabinet 1, slot 4 is identified in local format as 1/4 and in global format as 12.
The parstatus command will display this cell as cab1,cell4.
