the (*) is the node name.  all DSSI devices have a node name.  your three disks
seem to be named WOOLY, SARTORIS and CLOPPER.

the reason node 6 changed from CLOPPER to * is that the VAX is now node 6, and
a non-running (OS wise) machine has no node name.  with a single system like
this you will never get the chance to see that node have a name, but if you
were to put a second machine on the DSSI bus and install VMS, the next time you
did a SHOW DEV on your non-running system, you would see that other machine on
the DSSI bus, and it would put its SCS nodename in the ().  DSSI is very very
cool stuff.

i could give you what mine is set to, as it seems to work.

could you post us a new copy of the output of SHOW DEV since you changed things?
