A couple of things...
Assuming that the KFQSA is set to NODE 7, then you should see
DSSI Bus 0 Node 6 (*) <--- local controller
DSSI Bus 0 Node 7 (*) <--- KFQSA showing up on the bus
And your drives should be showing up as Nodes other than 6 and 7. Instead I
see node 7 showing up as one of your DSSI drives (BIRGIT)
