CU table

Table 1. CU Table
Field Name Format Description
Table Name Text CU
ID Hex <IODF Key> The ID of the IODF object.
Container Text Applicable only for new control units that are not already in the PC configuration.

Specifies the exact placement of the "new" control unit within a physical controller. A container object is either a controller label (for single segment controllers such as 3174), or a controller label/segment name, for controllers which have two segments. If not specified, HCM will place the device using the normal heuristics employed during the IODF load/resync process (this placement is based primarily on serial number). For example, 3174 #5, 3990 #12/SC0.

Internal switch control units (those which are logically connected to port FE), and control units of type CTC or CFS, receive special treatment as follows:
  • Import ignores this field and the objects are placed automatically.
  • For CTC and CFS control units, export leaves this field blank since there is no meaningful container object for these control units.

Ignored for control units which are already in the PC configuration file (they have already been placed).

Serial number Text EO The serial number of the IODF object.
Note: HCM uses the serial number of the container controller to update the IODF with control unit serial numbers.
Description Text <Updates the IODF> The description of the IODF object.
Type Text EO Value taken from the IODF object.
SSID Text The subsystem ID of the control unit.
