Include + the file uv_hub.h to get the definitions. + + The hubless entry basically is present and set only if there + is no hub. In this case the hub_type entry is not present. + + The partition_id entry contains the partition id. + UV systems can be partitioned into multiple physical + machines, which each partition running a unique copy + of the operating system. Each partition will have a unique + partition id. + + The coherence_id entry contains the coherence id. + A partitioned UV system can have one or more coherence + domains. The coherence id indicates which coherence domain + this partition is in. + + The uv_type entry contains the hub revision number. + This value can be used to identify the UV system version:: + + "0.*" = Hubless UV ('*' is subtype) + "3.0" = UV2 + "5.0" = UV3 + "7.0" = UV4 + "7.1" = UV4a + "9.0" = UV5 + + The /sys/firmware/sgi_uv directory also contains two directories:: + + hubs/ + pcibuses/ + + The hubs directory contains a number of hub objects, each representing + a UV Hub visible to the BIOS. Each hub object's name is appended by a + unique ordinal value (ex. /sys/firmware/sgi_uv/hubs/hub_5) + + Each hub object directory contains a number of read-only attributes:: + + cnode + location + name + nasid + shared + this_partition + + The cnode entry contains the cnode number of the corresponding hub. + If a cnode value is not applicable, the value returned will be -1. + + The location entry contains the location string of the corresponding hub. + This value is used to physically identify a hub within a system. + + The name entry contains the name of the corresponding hub. This name can + be two variants:: + + "UVHub x.x" = A 'node' ASIC, connecting a CPU to the interconnect + fabric. The 'x.x' value represents the ASIC revision. + (ex. 'UVHub 5.0') + + "NLxRouter" = A 'router ASIC, only connecting other ASICs to + the interconnect fabric. The 'x' value representing + the fabric technology version. (ex. 'NL8Router') + + The nasid entry contains the nasid number of the corresponding hub. + If a nasid value is not applicable, the value returned will be -1. + + The shared entry contains a boolean value describing whether the + corresponding hub is shared between system partitions. + + The this_partition entry contains a boolean value describing whether + the corresponding hub is local to the current partition. + + Each hub object directory also contains a number of port objects, + each representing a fabric port on the corresponding hub. + A port object's name is appended by a unique ordinal value + (ex. /sys/firmware/sgi_uv/hubs/hub_5/port_3) + + Each port object directory contains a number of read-only attributes:: + + conn_hub + conn_port + + The conn_hub entry contains a value representing the unique + oridinal value of the hub on the other end of the fabric + cable plugged into the port. If the port is disconnected, + the value returned will be -1. + + The conn_port entry contains a value representing the unique + oridinal value of the port on the other end of the fabric cable + plugged into the port. If the port is disconnected, the value + returned will be -1. + + Ex: + A value of '3' is read from: + /sys/firmware/sgi_uv/hubs/hub_5/port_3/conn_hub + + and a value of '6' is read from: + /sys/firmware/sgi_uv/hubs/hub_5/port_3/conn_port + + representing that this port is connected to: + /sys/firmware/sgi_uv/hubs/hub_3/port_6 + + The pcibuses directory contains a number of PCI bus objects. + Each PCI bus object's name is appended by its PCI bus address. + (ex. pcibus_0003:80) + + Each pcibus object has a number of possible read-only attributes:: + + type + location + slot + ppb_addr + iio_stack + + The type entry contains a value describing the type of IO at + the corresponding PCI bus address. Known possible values + across all UV versions are:: + + BASE IO + PCIe IO + PCIe SLOT + NODE IO + Riser + PPB + + The location entry contains the location string of the UV Hub + of the CPU physically connected to the corresponding PCI bus. + + The slot entry contains the physical slot number of the + corresponding PCI bus. This value is used to physically locate + PCI cards within a system. + + The ppb_addr entry contains the PCI address string of the + bridged PCI bus. This entry is only present when the PCI bus + object type is 'PPB'. + + The iio_stack entry contains a value describing the IIO stack + number that the corresponding PCI bus object is connected to. |
