(9892) Fibre Channel and Disk Allocation Classes?

[User]

We have an OpenVMS Cluster environment with 2 Alphaservers each at different location. Each server has its own OS disk & individual external storage (H-SW500) with 11 Disks each. Both Side the Data is replicated through Volume Shadowing. Now we are migrating old Storage with one side EVA3000 & other side MSA1

Presently we have $1$DUA1:... $1$DUA11 in one place & other place is $2$DUA1:...$2$DUA11. So Volume Shadowing doesn't have any problem while copying from $1$DUA1: to $2$DUA1: and so on.

The problem we are facing is that we are not able to configure ALLOCATION CLASS on either of these storages, hence both side are getting similar names i.e.: $1$DGA1 & so

Please let me know how to configure ALLOCATION CLASS in MSA1000 or in the Console of Alphaserver4100 using KGPSA Controller.

Thanks & rega

Allocation classes on all Fibre Channel devices are always $1$ on OpenVMS.

The OpenVMS Wizard would likely use $1$DGA100-199 for one controller, $1$DGA200-299 for the second, etc.

For information on the StorageWorks controllers and on low-level StorageWorks configurations, please consult with a StorageWorks Wizard -- the OpenVMS Wizard is not a StorageWorks wizard, as is mentioned in the introduction, and is not in a position to provide details of or information on StorageWorks configurations.
