Converting a Single-System Conﬁguration to a DSSI VAXcluster Conﬁguration

C.2 Conversion Procedure

This section contains the steps to:

• Convert an SF7x storage enclosure from split-bus to through-bus mode

(Section C.2.1)

• Convert a DECarray, cabled for a single-system conﬁguration, that contains

SF7x storage enclosures, or magazine tape ISEs, or both, to a DSSI

VAXcluster conﬁguration (Section C.2.2)

• Label the cables (Section C.2.3)

Fill out a new conﬁguration sheet (Section C.2.3.1)

Fill out the labels (Section C.2.3.2)

Place the labels (Section C.2.3.3)

• Power up the DECarray (Section C.2.4)

• Bring the new DSSI VAXcluster conﬁguration back on-line (Section C.2.5)

• Verify the operation of the converted DECarray (Section C.2.6)

Follow each step in the order presented.
