Packaging hardware resources

The Packaging hardware resources (systems, frames, cards,...) option appears on the Hardware Service Manager display when the system is in the full or limited paging environment.

This option allows you to display and work with packaging resources. Packaging hardware resources are the physical resources of the system. The display lists them by their physical location within the system. Some packaging hardware resources contain other packaging hardware resources within them. For example, a frame might contain a card enclosure, and the card enclosure might contain cards. To display these resources, select the Hardware contained within package option on the Packaging Hardware Resources display.

The Packaging Hardware Resources display shows packaging hardware resources in levels that begin with the system resource. The Packaging Hardware Resource display shows all associated first level hardware resources. To see the resources contained within a packaging hardware resource, select the Hardware contained within package option on the packaging resource that has a + symbol next to it. For more information on symbols, see Symbols on the hardware service manager displays.

Note: The Hardware contained within package option will not be valid for a remote system unit since no packages for hardware within them will be created. This is because HRI will not see VPD from any resources within a remote system unit or remote expansion unit.

Selecting the Display SPCN system information function key will cause the following display to appear. This display lists the System Power Control Network (SPCN) type and serial number. The SPCN type and serial number is the type and serial number of the system that controls the power for this resource.
