The node identification label on the front panel displays a six-digit node identification number. Sometimes this number is called the panel name or front panel ID.
The node identification label is the six-digit number that is input to the svctask addnode command. It is readable by system software and is used by configuration and service software as a node identifier. The node identification number can also be displayed on the front-panel display when node is selected from the menu.
If the service controller assembly front panel is replaced, the configuration and service software displays the number that is printed on the front of the replacement panel. Future error reports contain the new number. No cluster reconfiguration is necessary when the front panel is replaced.
