I can look at the properties of the lpar via the hmc and see the
network adapters and the Drawer 7040-61D*blah-P1--U1.5 string and the
Slot_5/U1.5 string but there are two drawers so which is which drawer
and do I count the slots from the left or right? Or am I barking up
the wrong tree?
If anyone could point me to the IBM doc that would be great, or just
tell me would be good too.
Thanks in advance

Logon as root
Run the "diag" command, scroll to the "Task Selection" option
Scroll down to "Hot Plug Task", then select "PCI Hot Plug Manager"
Scroll down to "Identify a PCI Hot Plug Slot", scroll to the desired
card and press enter
This will cause an indicator LED to start flashing on the select slot.

The slots are numbered from left to right.

P1 is left, P2 is right. Drawers are numbered from bottom to top. Slots
are numbered left to right. So, in your example U1.5 is cabinet 1, drawer2
(assuming you also have a U1.1) P1 is the left half and slot 5 is the fifth
slot in that half. Also the diag suggestion already posted is a good way to
identify your cards.

Also handy to see the resources from AIX instead of the HMC is:
lsslot -c slot (or pci)
It will show you the relation between U1.9-P1-I1/E1 to the ent0 ent1 ent2
etc...
