5292.0. "DUAL REDUNDANT HSJ'S SAME CI NODE NUMBER" by IB001::JAGOMEZ (JOSE ANTONIO GOMEZ @SQO) Tue Apr 22 1997 08:29

                   CROSS-POSTED IN HSJ40 AND CLUSTER CONFERENCES


                Hi all,
                
                I'd like to know if this configuration could give some 
                problem and if it's supported:
                
                Two HSJ's in dual redundant configuration, connected to 
                two different Star Couplers and with the same CI node 
                number in the same cluster. Of course, each host in the 
                cluster has two CI interfaces, each one to one S.C.
                
                I think it's a valid configuration, but I'd like to be 
                sure...
                
                Thanks in advance,
                
                Jose A. Gomez

5292.1Looks VAlid to me.PROXY::MOORETom Moore PK3/N85 DTN-223-6309Tue Apr 22 1997 14:096
    The ci node numbers used on one star are independant of the other star.
    This means that you are able to assign the same number formatching
    devices on each star. Both adapters in each system and both parts of a
    dual redundant HSJ pair can have the same number. I also believe VMS
    supports dual redundant pairs to be attached to two stars.
