Managing CA VM:Secure in a Single System Image Complex › Configuration Statements in an SSI Complex › SSINODE

SSINODE

You define an SSINODE statement to name each member. Up to 32 SSINODE names may be placed in the PRODUCT CONFIG file, but only four are currently used by SSI. Use the same member names you specified in the SYSTEM CONFIG file. The format is:

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. This format of the Object Directory must only be used 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 that an asterisk be specified as the node name on a BUILD statement in an IDENTITY directory entry. This format of the Object Directory is allowed on either a non-SSI VM system, of on an SSI system configured with only one member node. The latter allowance enables you to more easily convert a non-SSI system into a single member node SSI system. This conversion process is described in SSI Installation Considerations.
