- You probably need to configure the KFQSA adapter for the additional drive.
- Each ISE looks like a distinct controller+drive. On a newer MicroVAX, you
- can use the console firmware to connect to the adapter in maintenance mode
- to enable the second unit. On a MicroVAX II, I suppose you could use the VMS
- SET HOST/DUP command. You still might have to put the adapter in maintenance
- mode, which will likely make your RF71 disappear temporarily. If the RF71 is
- in use by VMS at the time, that may cause problems.
-
- All of this should be covered in the KFQSA adapter manual.
