Location codes
Hardware may or may not be identified in the HMC by resource type and model. This
information is provided by the converged Hypervisor only if this information has been
provided to it by the operating system.
In the absence of resource type and models, location codes are used.
Location codes can identify either the physical location of a resource or the logical path that
the system uses to communicate with a particular resource.
Physical location codes
An example of a physical location code is as follows:
U970305010ABCDE-P3-C31
In this location code, the resource is contained in a unit of type 9703, model 050, and has
serial number 10-ABCDE. This resource connects to backplane P3 and is in the connector
labeled C31. The serial number may be omitted if it is not known.
