Figure 8-6 Connecting a PG to a subnet
MPI addresses for service PGs
If there is no stationary PG, we recommend:
To connect it to an MPI subnet with "unknown" node addresses, set the following
addresses on the service PG:
• MPI address: 0
• Highest MPI address: 126.
Using STEP 7, you then determine the highest MPI address in the MPI subnet and
adapt the highest MPI address in the PG to that of the MPI subnet.
