Add and Start the GESA Using SCF

With your completed GESA configuration form as a guide, use the SCF interface to the

SLSA subsystem to add and start the GESA.

Adding and Starting the GESA

1. Use the SLSA subsystem SCF ADD ADAPTER command to add the GESA.

SCF adds a GESA to slot 53, group 1, module 1, and gives processor 0 primary

access to the ServerNet addressable controller (SAC). Processors 1 through 3 are

assigned secondary access.

2. Use the SLSA subsystem SCF NAMES command to display the names assigned

to the SAC and PIF of the adapter you added in Step 1.

3. Assign logical interface (LIF) to the PIF on the GESA added in Step 1 by using the

SLSA subsystem SCF ADD LIF command. Use the name of the PIF returned from

the NAMES command in Step 2.

4. Start the LIF by using the SLSA subsystem START LIF command.

5. Start the GESA and its subordinate SAC and PIF objects by using the SLSA

subsystem SCF START ADAPTER command with the SUB ALL option as shown

in the following example. The SUB ALL option starts the ADAPTER object and its

subordinate objects:

6. Use the SLSA subsystem SCF STATUS commands to check that the adapter,

SAC, PIF, and LIF have started (see Example 2-1).

Note. Refer to the LAN Configuration and Management Manual for detailed information about

the SLSA subsystem SCF commands.
