DS6000 resource location codes

You can use the resources location codes from the DS Storage Manager to identify the physical location of any hardware resource in the enclosure.

Each hardware resource in the DS6000™ has a specific resource location code that logically identifies the exact physical location of the resource.

The resource location code is presented in the following format: Uttttmmm.ppsssss-P1-L#, where tttt is the machine type, mmm is the model type, ppsssss is the machine serial number, P1 is the resource point of reference, and L# is the location for the specific resource. For example, U1750511.12ABC3D-P1-C4 is the resource location code for the upper processor card on the server enclosure.

The following information shows the location of the specified resource, both visually and through the resource location code:

The front display panel is identified through the E20 resource location code. For example, U1750511.12ABC3D-P1-E20 as shown in Figure 1.

The disk drive modules (DDMs) are identified through the Dn resource location code, where n is the assigned location for the specific DDM. DDMs are numbered 1 through 16, starting from the top left, moving right across the row and continue from the left side of the next row. Figure 2 shows the numbered DDMs. For example, U1750511.12ABC3D-P1-D1 through U1750511.12ABC3D-P1-D16.

The rear operator panel is identified through the C1 resource location code. For example, U1750511.12ABC3D-P1-C1 as shown in Figure 3.

The left-side power supply is identified through the E1 resource location code. For example, U1750511.12ABC3D-E1 as shown in Figure 4.

The right-side power supply is identified through the E2 resource location code. For example, U1750511.12ABC3D-E2 as shown in Figure 5.

The upper processor card is identified through the C2 resource location code. For example, U1750511.12ABC3D-P1-C2 as shown in Figure 6.

The lower processor card is identified through the C4 resource location code. For example, U1750511.12ABC3D-P1-C4 as shown in Figure 7.

The left-side battery backup unit is identified through the E10 resource location code. For example, U1750511.12ABC3D-E10 as shown in Figure 8.

The right-side battery backup unit is identified through the E11 resource location code. For example, U1750511.12ABC3D-E11 as shown in Figure 9.

The following examples show two different resource location codes:

Server enclosure processor card port location codes

The ports on the server enclosure processor card are identified by adding another suffix to the resource location code for the specific processor card. Figure 10 shows the ports that are located on the server enclosure processor card and an example location code for each of those ports.

The disk expansion ports are located on the left side of the server enclosure processor card. They are identified through the Cx-Ty location code, where x is the location code for either the upper or lower processor card and y is the location code (from 10 to 13) for the specific disk expansion port on that card. For example, U1750511.12ABC3D-P1-C2-T11 is the second disk expansion port from the left on the upper processor card, and U1750511.12ABC3D-P1-C4-T13 is the fourth disk expansion port from the left on the lower processor card.

The Ethernet port is located to the right of the disk expansion ports on the server enclosure processor card. It is identified through the Cx-T20 location code, where x is the location code for either the upper or lower processor card. For example, U1750511.12ABC3D-P1-C4-T20 is the Ethernet port on the lower processor card.

The host attachment ports are located on the right side of the server enclosure processor card. They are identified through the Cx-Ty location code, where x is the location code for either the upper or lower processor card and y is the location code (from 0 to 3) for the specific host attachment port on that card. For example, U1750511.12ABC3D-P1-C2-T1 is the third host attachment port from the right on the upper processor card, and U1750511.12ABC3D-P1-C4-T3 is the first host attachment port from the right on the lower processor card.

  7. Third host attachment port from the right: U1750511.12ABC3D-P1-C2-T1
  8. Second host attachment port from the right: U1750511.12ABC3D-P1-C2-T2
  9. First host attachment port from the right: U1750511.12ABC3D-P1-C2-T3

Expansion enclosure processor card port location codes

The ports on the expansion enclosure processor card are identified by adding another suffix to the resource location code for the specific processor card. Figure 11 shows the ports that are located on the expansion enclosure processor card and an example location code for each of those ports.

The disk expansion ports are located on the left side of the expansion enclosure processor card. They are identified through the Cx-Ty location code, where x is the location code for either the upper or lower processor card and y is the location code (from 10 to 13) for the specific disk expansion port on that card. For example, U1750EX1.12ABC3D-P1-C2-T11 is the second disk expansion port from the left on the upper processor card, and U1750Ex1.12ABC3D-P1-C4-T13 is the fourth disk expansion port from the left on the lower processor card.

  2. Second disk expansion port from the left (right IN port): U1750EX1.12ABC3D-P1-C2-T11
  3. Third disk expansion port from the left (left OUT port): U1750EX1.12ABC3D-P1-C2-T12
  4. Fourth disk expansion port from the left (right OUT port): U1750EX1.12ABC3D-P1-C2-T13
