Installing an SF200 Storage Array with a VAX 6000 Series System 4–29

4.3.5 Single-Host Final Veriﬁcation

Now that all the hardware installation, cabling and labeling, and the

powering up steps are complete, you are ready to conﬁgure the DSSI

subsystem and verify the correct operation of each ISE in the array with

the host system.

Refer to the KFMSA Module Installation and User Manual (EK–KFMSA–

IM) and the TF837 Magazine Tape Subsystem Service Manual (EK–

TF837–SM) for detailed information and how to proceed with verifying the

correct operation of each ISE that has been installed. In these manuals,

you will ﬁnd the procedure for establishing the communications between

the ISEs, the adapter module, and the system. You will also ﬁnd the step-

by-step procedures for reconﬁguring the system with its newly installed

DSSI devices.

Refer to the manuals for the disk ISE and tape ISE for detailed

information on the local programs in the ISEs.

Remember, each SF72 enclosure can contain two or four disk ISEs. Each

magazine tape subsystem contains one tape ISE. A fully conﬁgured

storage array contains 24 disk ISEs and 2 tape ISEs.

If at any time you detect a failure, refer to Chapter 7.

Once the veriﬁcation is complete, close the cabinet doors; turn the hex-

Allen fasteners one quarter turn clockwise to lock. The system is ready to

be turned over to the system manager.
