I/O

This page displays information about the I/O slots that are assigned to this logical partition and the I/O adapters that are contained in these I/O slots.

This table contains the following information:

Unit

This column displays the unit number of the system unit or expansion unit in which each I/O slot is located.

Bus

This column displays the bus number of the bus on which each I/O slot is located.

Slot

This column displays the slot ID that identifies each I/O slot within the unit and bus.

Added

This column displays whether each I/O slot is required or desired for the logical partition. Required I/O slots cannot be removed from the logical partition using dynamic logical partitioning, but desired I/O slots can be removed from the logical partition using dynamic logical partitioning.

Description

This column displays a description of the I/O adapter in each I/O slot. The managed system updates the I/O adapter description only when the physical I/O device belongs to a running logical partition. This information might not be up to date if the logical partition is not running.

Location code

This column displays the location code that indicates the physical location of each I/O slot within the managed system.

Pool ID

This column displays the identification number of the I/O pool to which each I/O slot belongs. This column displays Unassigned if the I/O slot does not belong to any I/O pool.

If desired, you can click I/O Pools to view and maintain the I/O pools for the logical partition.
