SSINODE

You define an SSINODE statement to name each member. You can place up to 32 SSINODE names in the PRODUCT CONFIG file, but SSI currently uses only four. Use the same member names that you specified in the SYSTEM CONFIG file. Use the following format of the SSINODE statement:

SSINODE name

When SSINODE is present, then the source directory is compiled into an SSI Enabled format Object Directory. This format requires that valid node names be present on any BUILD statements in an IDENTITY directory entry. Use this format of the Object Directory only on a member of an SSI complex. Unpredictable results occur if an SSI Enabled Object Directory is used on a non-SSI system. Refer to the IBM CP Planning and Administration publication for the possible problems running this combination.

When SSINODE is not present, then the source directory is compiled into an SSI Ready format Object Directory. This format requires an asterisk to represent the node name on a BUILD statement in an IDENTITY directory entry. This format of the Object Directory is allowed on the following entities:

• A non-SSI VM system
• An SSI system that is configured with only one member node

The latter configuration enables you to more easily convert a non-SSI system into a single member node SSI system.

For a description of this conversion process, see SSI Installation Considerations.
