Example Configuration

Step One: Add the Adapter and Start It.

The following SCF commands configure the ADAPTER, the SAC, and PIF objects for

the SLSA subsystem. The adapter is in cabinet 2, slot 53, and has an access list of

CPU 2 and 3.

ASSUME PROCESS $ZZLAN

ADD ADAPTER TR1, TYPE TRSA, LOCATION (2,1,53), ACC (2,3)

START ADAPTER TR1, SUB ALL

Step Two: Add the LIF and Start It.

The following SCF commands add a LIF and associate it with the system-created PIF.

The name of the PIF can be found by using the SCF command INFO PIF TR1*. The

name returned was TR1.0.A. The recommended LIF name is the same as the PIF, but

without the dots.

ADD LIF TR10A, PIF TR1.0.A

START LIF TR10A

Step Three: Check the STATUS of all STARTED Objects

It is recommended that you check the status of all objects to make sure that they are in

a STARTED state.

STATUS ADAPTER TR1, DETAIL

STATUS SAC TR1.0, DETAIL

STATUS PIF TR.0.A, DETAIL

STATUS LIF TR10A, DETAIL
