2.6.2 Logical Hardware Configuration
There are four major logical components on the system bus:
Logical cabinet
●
Logical LAN manager●
Logical SCSI manager (LSM)●
Logical CPU-Memory board.●
2.6.2.1 Logical Cabinet Hardware Path
Cabinet components—such as ACU units, fans, and power supplies—do not have true physical
addresses. However, they are treated as pseudo devices and given logical addresses for reporting
purposes. The logical cabinet addressing convention is as follows:
The first-level address, 12, is the logical cabinet (CAB).
●
The second-level address identifies the specific cabinet number. For a PA-8500 Continuum Series
400, this is always 0.
●
The third-level address identifies individual cabinet components. (The number sequence is
arbitrary.)
●
For example, an ACU could have a logical cabinet hardware path of 12/0/1.
2.6.2.2 Logical LAN Manager Hardware Paths
The first-level address, 13, is the LAN manager (LNM).
●
The second-level address is always 0.●
The third-level address identifies a specific adapter (port).●
For example, a system with three logical ethernet (LAN) ports would have the following hardware paths:
13/0/0, 13/0/1, and 13/0/2.
2.6.2.3 Logical SCSI Manager Hardware Paths
The logical SCSI manager has two primary purposes: to serve as a generalized host bus adapter driver
front-end and to implement the concept of a logical SCSI bus. A logical SCSI bus (LSB) is one that is
