Viewing I/O Chassis Information

At least one of the cell boards in every partition must have an I/O chassis

connected to it (more than one can). The I/O chassis holds the I/O cards

that connect devices such as network cards and disk drives to the

complex.

At least one of the I/O chassis associated with a partition must contain a

core I/O board allowing devices in that chassis to be used to boot the

system.

I/O Details

After selecting a partition from the object list on the left-hand-side of the

Partition Manager’s primary display window, single-click on the entry for

the I/O chassis (on the right-hand-side of the display) that you want to

query. Then select Show I/O Details... from the I/O menu to bring

up the I/O Details window containing information about the selected

I/O chassis.

The I/O Details window has three panels of information:

I/O Cards The I/O Cards panel displays information about the

cards in the I/O chassis, the hardware paths to those

cards, the drivers used by those cards, and whether or

not the slot that the cards are plugged into have power.

Storage The Storage panel contains a list of mass storage

devices attached to the I/O cards associated with the

cell, partition, cabinet, or complex you have selected.
