SDA>CLUE CONFIG...

[Davor_7]

Hi there,
when i do a command SDA>CLUE CONFIG
it displays many system HW information including "Adapter Configuration:"
which number is the physical PCI slot number?is it the first line"TR"?

thanks

[Karl Rohwedder]

No, I think the column named 'ADP Slot' contains the PCI slotnumber, but note, that many systems have mutliple PCI busses, which may be 'interleaved', so you have to consult your hardware documentation to locate the slots on the backplane.

Kalle,
attached is the picture for the output.
in "ADP", there is no slot information there.
but there is a "slot" column which i highlight with RED. but i donot believe this is the physical PCI slot location because i see some cards are "15","16"(we have only 10 slots)
could you find the physical slot number from the picture?
thanks!

Davor,

the way I've worked with the CLUE CONFIG output in the past is to locate interfaces which are neighbors on the PCI bus. If you look at the back of your system and compare the physical sequence of the interfaces with the CLUE CONFIG output, you should be able to figure out the which is which.

Note that EIA0/EIB0 may be 2 ports on the SAME PCI card !

Hi Volker,

attached is the description from ES40 owner guide. there are 10 physical slots and mapped with PCI0/1.
my question is, SDA>CLUE CONFIG displays "Slot 15", i'm confused with this "15" which is larger than the capacity of "10"... how come?

Davor,

on our ES40 system slot 15 is labeled "ACER 5229 IDE Controller". That's an on-board device that does not take a PCI slot.

thanks Martin.

i looked into the CLUE CONFIG output with the physical environment here.
in PCI slot 10, we have a network card.
but i cannot find the logical slot(PCI-1,Slot6) matched with this one...
i have to doubt the information accuracy from CLUE CONFIG...

[Volker Halle]

Davor,

there may be another level of mapping done by the console level between the actual HW config and what OpenVMS is seeing.

You can also look at what the console reports during init (as extracted from DIAGNOSE CLUE$FRU.SYS).

With the output of CLUE CONFIG, >>> SHOW CONFIG and the view of the back of your system, you should be able to figure it out...

PS: Sorry, I posted this incorrectly to your other thread regarding the CSMACD errors.

The table I have here (from OARS - Onsite Agents Reference Set) says:

Phys. slot Log.slot
PCI bus 0:
1 (top slot) 1
2 2
3 3
4 4
- 7
PCI bus 1:
5 1
6 2
7 3
8 4
9 5
10 (bottom slot) 6

So phys.slot 10 <-> log.slot 1-6 matches.

Davor,

[network card in phys. slot 10]

The output from CLUE CONFIG you posted says it's EIB:
