Controller device interface (CDI) table

Table 1. CDI Table
Field Name Format Description
Table Name Text CDI
Interface name Text The name of the controller device interface, in the following form:
controller label[/segment name][/adapter name] /interface label
controller label
label of controller
segment name
segment label (used only with controllers having more than one segment)
adapter name
device adapter label (used only with controllers using device adapter scheme)
interface label
device interface label. When there is only one device interface on the adapter or segment, the interface label may be omitted.

In cases where the components (segment, device adapter, or interface) are not given explicit names in the PDF, a zero-based index is used instead. For example, device adapter 2 is the third device adapter in the segment or controller which contains it.

Examples:

6100 #5/Bus 0/3   (interface label omitted)
5500 #3/Y-Bus/6/1 (second unnamed interface
                   on adapter 6)

Export always omits the interface name when there is only one device interface on the adapter or segment.

Unique Key Text EO The unique key for this object. Composed of "Table Name:Interface Name".
Note: For those controller types which support a variable number of device interfaces, all controller device interfaces beyond the minimum number (which are created automatically) must be explicitly created with this record. If a CDI must be created, all intervening CDIs and device adapters will be created as necessary.
