I no longer have my VAX 4000s to check with but I
don't remember having to tell their consoles that. I did
use the console to talk to the DSSI disks and set their
node parameters and it *might* be possible to set the
corresponding DSSI parameters for a VAX 4000 node
(although I don't remember either doing that or being
able to do it).

ALLOCLASS is the SYSGEN setting that determines the
number you see in front of disks (so my VAXstation
here has ALLOCLASS set to 42 and its disks are
$42$DKA0: etc.)
