[Info-vax] Problems configuring SA-controller

[Joukj]

Hi All,

I do not understand why I cannot configure units on my SA-controller on 
a RX4640 running OpenVMS 8,4 anymore. What I did:

-I removed the units from the controller
-replaced the didk by larger ones
-rebooted the machine
-Tried to define new units on the SA-controller but I it failed (see 
example below). What am I doing wrong?
