RIM2 Identifiers
RIM2s can be installed in any controller bay in the main frame or drive
expansion frames. The component identifier for a RIM2 is based on its
location relative to the frame and the DBA where it is installed.
The component identifier for a RIM2 is shown as FRx/DBAx/F-QIPn, where:
FRx is the number of the frame from left to right when viewed from the
DBAx is the number of the DBA where the RIM2 is installed (see
F-QIPn is the interface type (Fibre Channel) of the RIM2 and the number
Drive Identifiers
The firmware in the drive sled that houses each drive assigns an identifier
to the drive based on its location in the library. This identifier is shown in
the BlueScale user interface and is used in the XML command interface.
The identifier is also used to generate the World Wide Name (WWN) that
the library reports for the drive (see World Wide Names for Fibre Channel
Drives on page 66). Because the identifier is location‐based, it remains
constant even if the physical drive is replaced by a new drive. The new
drive assumes the location‐based identifier.

accommodates up to six DBAs.
of the controller bay where it is installed. Because each DBA contains
only one controller bay, n is always 1.
Note:
The component identifier for a RIM2 shows it as an F‐QIP. For
example, Figure 17 shows the component identifier for the RIM2
installed in DBA 4 in Frame 1 (FR1/DBA4/F‐QIP1) on the
Controllers screen. The device descriptor (8‐Gbps FC RIM2)
indicates that the controller is a RIM2.
