Attachment Points Overview
An attachment point is a collective term for a component or device, the slot that holds
it, and any components on it. Slots are sometimes called receptacles . The
cfgadm
command displays information about attachment points.
An attachment point consists of the following:
■
An occupant, which represents a hardware component that can be configured into
the system. The term
occupant refers to the combination of a component and its
attached devices, including any external storage devices connected by interface
cables.
■
A receptacle, which is the location that accepts the occupant.
There are two types of attachment point names:
■
Physical attachment point – The software driver and the location of the slot.
■
Logical attachment point – An abbreviated name created by the system to see the
physical attachment point.
An attachment point defines two unique elements, which are distinct from the
hardware resources that exist beyond the attachment point. The two elements of an
attachment point are a receptacle and an occupant. Physical insertion or removal of
hardware resources occurs at attachment points and results in a receptacle gaining
or losing an occupant. Configuration administration supports the physical insertion
and removal operations, as well as other configurations. For more information about
