Installation guide

The node IDs for KFMSA modules are factory set with both ports having
the node ID of 7. KFMSA node IDs for single-host systems do not have to
be changed. For a dual-host system, the second host system’s KFMSA node
ID must be set to 6. On a tri-host system, the third host system’s KFMSA
node ID must be set to 5.
If the second and third hosts have multi-host I/O panels (as shown in
Figure 3–14), use the KFMSA select knob to change the KFMSA node ID.
Otherwise, use the diagnostic tool EVCXF described in Section 3.6.3.
If required, set the DSSI node IDs for the ISEs in each SF7x enclosure
using the switches on the SF7x operator control panel. A LED display next
to the switchpack shows the values selected.
NOTE: The new ISE node IDs are not in effect until each device is turned off
then on (power-cycled). After power-cycling, the node IDs have been changed
at the ISE level. To integrate at the system level, run EVCXF under VAX/DS
in standalone mode.
In addition to the physical address requirements, the ISEs and operating
system generate additional parameters to communicate with the host:
system ID, node name, MSCP/TMSCP unit numbers, allocation class, and
force name. See the KFMSA Module Installation and User Manual for
complete description.
