2-10 Console User Interface
2.4 Device Naming Conventions
To use the console, the user needs to be familiar with the device
names assigned by the system console.
The system firmware assigns names to all supported CPUs, memories, I/O
windows, I/O adapters, and end I/O devices in the system.
The show configuration, show device, and show network commands
(see Chapter 3) are used to obtain the assigned device mnemonics for all
devices in the system. The assigned mnemonics provide an easy means to
refer to devices with the various console commands. Example 2-1 illus-
trates several examples. Refer to the individual console commands in
Chapter 3 for additional examples.
Example 2-1 Device Names
1. >>> test dua23.0.1.14.1
2. >>> set host demna0
3. >>> update kn7aa* -f
4. >>> examine xmi0:21880004
The show configuration command displays all supported CPUs, memo-
ries, I/O windows, I/O adapters, and I/O subsystems (that is, whole XMIs)
and assigns a mnemonic to each (ka7aa0, ms7aa3, dwlma0, demna0,
demna1, xmi0, and so forth).
The show device command displays all supported disks (including CD-
ROM and solid state disks) and tapes and assigns a mnemonic to each
(dua23.0.1.14.1, for example).
