ABSTRACT:
During an initial generation/assignment of location codes for field replaceable units (FRUs) that are and/or may be attached to the computer system, the service processor provides an alias location code for each FRU not currently attached. When the service processor later detects a concurrent install of the FRU, the service processor's firmware generates the correct location code from data retrieved from the FRU, and replaces the alias location code stored within the service processor's internal data structures with the correct location code. The firmware also forwards the correct location code back to a serviceability application, and the application utilizes the new location code in all remaining concurrent install commands to maintain a single, consistent view of the system.
