contact information as listed. You need the information for each server to be
configured. Collect the necessary information before you start the installation so
that it is readily available when needed. This information can be found on the
completed Company Information and IP address worksheets. See Appendix A,
"Company information worksheet," on page 139 for details about the information
which you must enter.

Note: Each node in the frame is assigned a different IP address within the range
of xx0 to xx9, where xx is the frame number. (For example: 10 or 20... up to 240.).

About this task
Note: Enabling and configuring RAS is an offline procedure; respond yes when
prompted to stop VTFD services. The services normally restart automatically upon
completion of RAS configuration, but this procedure includes steps to verify the
restart and, if required, to restart the services manually.
Note: If the TSSC is not installed in the AP1 frame, you must establish a
connection to each server before you can complete the steps for that server. For
more information, see "Configuring the TSSC" on page 79.
