5.5 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 TF857 Magazine Tape Subsystem Service Manual (EK–TF857–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 SF7x 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, see Chapter 8.

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.
