The node identification label 7 is a six-digit node identification number that is
printed on a label on the front panel. This number is the same as the six-digit
number used in the addnode command, is readable by system software, and is used
by configuration and service software as a node identifier. The node identifier can
also be displayed on the front panel display when node is selected from the menu.
If the front panel is replaced the configuration and service software will display
the number that is printed on the front of the replacement panel. Future error
reports will also contain the new number. No cluster reconfiguration is necessary
when the front panel is replaced.
The node also contains a SAN Volume Controller product serial number that is
imbedded on the system board hardware. This number is used for warranty and
service entitlement checking and is included in the data sent with error reports. It
is essential that this number is not changed during the life of the product. If the
system board is replaced you must follow the system board replacement
instructions carefully and rewrite the serial number on the system board.
