Installing the NIO CommKit Host Interface

Updating the VCS Database

Once you cable the Datakit interface board to the VCS module, you must

update the VCS database to add the following new installation information:

• The group name

• The address of the CommKit server, in lowercase letters

• The address of the STREAMS TLI Listener, in uppercase letters (optional)

• The CPM-HS module information

You will then restore the CPM-HS module to its “in service” state.

To stop the conﬁguration process at any time, you can press the Delete key

(on some keyboards, Shift-Escape). In the examples that follow, the host

server name is hpams5x. In your conﬁguration, you should substitute the

host server name for your conﬁguration.

If you install more than one Datakit interface board per host, you can add a

number to the end of the server name to identify that server/board pair. The

conﬁguration steps are the same as shown below, but with the new name.

For example, hpams5x1, hpams5x2, etc.

To perform the following tasks, go the VCS switch monitor. Perform each of

the tasks in sequence.

At any prompt, you can enter a speciﬁc value or press Return to accept the

default value. The suggested values are given in the examples that follow.

NOTE: For more detailed information on VCS Database configuration, including

configuring multiple groups, refer to Datakit II VCS Administrator’s Guide, 255-
