Configuring a Two-Frame

System

Appendix

This appendix describes how to configure a system containing two

mainframes linked by VXI-MXI-2 mainframe extenders.

Configuring Two VXI-MXI-2 Modules for a Two-Frame

System

The factory configuration of the VXI-MXI-2 is suitable for the most

common system configurations. However, if you are setting up a VXI

system using VXI-MXI-2 modules to extend from one mainframe to

another, you need to reconfigure the VXI-MXI-2 interfaces. You can

find more information about configuring a multiframe system in

Chapter 3, VXI-MXI-2 Configuration and Installation, which describes

the switch settings on a C-size VXI-MXI-2 (or Chapter 4 if you have a

VXI-MXI-2/B), and Chapter 6, System Configuration, which describes

the partitions of system resources, including logical addresses. This

appendix is a quick reference for systems such as the one in Figure E-1,

which consists of two VXI mainframes connected by a single MXIbus

link.

This appendix shows illustrations for both the C-size VXI-MXI-2 and

the B-size VXI-MXI-2/B.
