How to determine the pci-e slot on fujitsu system?
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6 on physical hardware
Issue
dmidecode -t slots doesn't return the pci-e slot number in human readable format, instead an output in the form of e.g. Designation: J8B3 is returned. We would expect an output in the form of e.g. Designation: PCI-E Slot 6
Resolution
Please use the -vmm parameter of the lspci command. For example:
# lspci -vmm
This will return the pci-e slot number with PhySlot, e.g. PhySlot: 6
Root Cause
On certain hardware models the extra parameter is required to determine the slot number, which will not be shown with dmidecode.
