Installation Summary Preparing the Operating Environment Virtual TapeServer operates in any clean indoor location. Do not store or locate Virtual TapeServer outside of the environmental ranges listed under Specifications on page 68. Keep all enclosure ventilation openings unobstructed and avoid placing Virtual TapeServer in direct sunlight, rain, or other sources of moisture. Unpacking Virtual TapeServer Carefully unpack and inspect the Virtual TapeServer components.
Note: Make a note of device IDs and the bus or port numbers to which they are connected. You need this information to set up Virtual TapeServer. For Virtual TapeServer cabling details, refer to Cabling and Connections on page 8. Checking SCSI Termination for NonStop S-Series Serversa All Virtual TapeServer SCSI ports are internally terminated. Check that appropriate termination is installed at the opposite end of the SCSI bus for all NonStop S-series servers and external SCSI storage devices.
To power down: 1. Execute the halt command. For details, see information in the Administrative Functions section of the Virtual TapeServer Operations and Administrative Guide (number 529509xxx). 2. Press the power button located on the front panel of the Virtual TapeServer server module. The button light changes from green to yellow. Support For assistance, contact the HP Global Customer Support Center (GCSC).
Installation Considerations For efficient installation of a Virtual TapeServer, complete these preparations before service personnel arrive on location: • Identify physical space in a 19-inch rack for Virtual TapeServer hardware within a short distance of the NonStop server: - Allow 2Us (3.5 inches) for a VT5900-B or VT5900-C and 4Us (7.0 inches) for a 5900-A. VT5905 RAID unit uses 4Us and VT5906 RAID extensions use 3Us of rack space.
• If you want to use Virtual TapeServer’s Event Management Service (EMS) mounts feature, know how to configure MEDIACOM on NonStop servers, including creating pools and tape volumes. Alternatively, ensure that an HP customer engineer is present during installation.
Installer’s Checklist • Change the IP settings • Install any software upgrades • Install any software patches • Set the time zone • Set the time • Attach any external tape drives or libraries • Rename the virtual tape drives • Alter Virtual TapeServer configuration settings as appropriate for the environment • Configure external vaults (if using an external SAN) • Set up EMS mounting (if applicable) • Set up Access Control parameters (if applicable) • Set up Instant/DR and/or AutoCopy
Cabling and Connections A critical part of installing the Virtual TapeServer is establishing the physical connection between the NonStop server and Virtual TapeServer. This section describes cabling between the NonStop server, Virtual TapeServer, and any external disk or tape storage devices. This section describes cabling schemes used by NonStop S-series servers and Integrity NonStop servers. NonStop S-series servers use SCSI and NonStop Integrity NS servers use native Fibre Channel.
Integrity NonStop Server Fiber Cable Male LC Connectors NonStop S-Series I/O L Enclosure SCSI Cable Male MD68 Connectors Virtual TapeServer SCSI Intf. Conversion Module Cabling From NonStop S-Series Servers to the Virtual TapeServer SCSI Interface Conversion Module NonStop S-series servers use HVD SCSI to connect to disk and tape peripherals. The NonStop S-series server I/O controller uses a 68-pin high-density connector.
NonStop S-series server must have a male MD68 connector. The other end must also have a male MD68 connector to plug into the top row of female MD68 connectors on the Virtual TapeServer SCSI interface conversion module. Cable length to the NonStop S-series server is limited to 25 meters (82 feet). Use high quality cables of the shortest possible length based on the location of the equipment.
The Virtual TapeServer SCSI interface conversion module uses a female MD68 connector, so the SCSI cable must have a male MD68 connector at that end. The Virtual TapeServer server module uses a female 68-pin VHDCI connector, so the SCSI cable must have a male VHDCI connector at that end. Virtual TapeServer SCSI interface conv.
Virtual TapeServer Server Modules: VT5901/5900-C, VT5900-B, VT5902, and VT5900-A This manual covers four different Virtual TapeServer server modules: The VT5901/5900-C is a 2U (3.5 inch) chassis and provides four SCSI buses, numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4. A dual-channel Fibre Channel card is also provided for connection to external storage.
The VT5900-B is a 2U (3.5 inch) chassis and provides an internal 72 gigabyte DAT72 tape drive and four SCSI buses (limited to two virtual drives numbered 1 and 2.) This system does not include a Fibre Channel adapter and does not support connection to external storage.
The VT5902 is a 7U (12.25 inch) chassis and provides eight SCSI bus assignments numbered 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, and 12. A dual-channel Fibre Channel card for connection to external storage is included. This model has been superseded by the VT5900-A.
The VT5900-A is a 4U (7 inch) chassis and provides 12 SCSI bus assignments, numbered 1 through 12. This model includes two dual-channel Fibre Channel cards, providing up to four connections to external storage.
HVD LVD A To NonStop B Server VTS Bus 8 To NonStop Server VTS Bus 9 C To NonStop Server VTS Bus 10 D To NonStop Server VTS Bus 11 Note: For the most reliable service, use cables of the highest quality and shortest possible length based on the location of the equipment in the data center.
To connect Virtual TapeServer to a SCSI-based external storage that uses an MD68 connector, use a cable with a male VHDCI connector on the Virtual TapeServer side and the appropriate (male or female) MD68 connector on the SCSI storage side. For connector specifics and termination requirements, refer to the user manual for the SCSI-based external storage devices.
LC Fibre Channel Connectors Virtual TapeServer Server Module Dual-Channel Fibre Controller External Fibre Channel Tape Drive Fiber Cable SCSI LVD Tape Drives: LVD tape drives can be connected to any SCSI port on the Virtual TapeServer server module that has not been reserved for use as a virtual drive. The Virtual TapeServer server module uses a female VHDCI connector, so a cable with a male VHDCI is required.
Summary Cabling and termination issues are the single largest contributor to an unsuccessful or delayed installation. Preparing and planning in advance so that the right cables, lengths of cables, connectors, and terminators are available dramatically increases the chances of successful installation and simplifies any subsequent troubleshooting.
Initial Setup Network Configuration Virtual TapeServer is factory-shipped with these default network configurations. Before making any changes, obtain a new IP address, netmask, gateway and hostname appropriate for your site from the network administrator. IP address: 192.168.2.150 netmask: 255.255.255.0 gateway: 192.168.2.1 hostname: TapeServer.yourdomain.com To change the network configuration, you must connect a monitor, keyboard and mouse to the Virtual TapeServer before powering it on.
Best Practices • Set the time and time zone on Virtual TapeServer to match the host system time. • Keep the names on Virtual TapeServer and the NonStop server consistent to avoid confusion. For example, use $VTAPE1 on the Virtual TapeServer and $TAPE1 on the NonStop server.

Configuring Instant/DR & AutoCopy Two different implementations for backup synchronization can be used with Virtual TapeServer - Instant/DR and VTS AutoCopy. Instant/DR is a Disaster Recovery (DR) Site implementation that synchronizes the backup location with any changes made to the specified cartridges. Instant/DR only transfers changes made to the virtual cartridges, which greatly speeds up the process.
second and third lines. On each line, specify the source cartridge name. The target name is ABCABC specified on the first line, and "=" signs are again used on the last two lines. Alternately, you can use the wildcard shortcut by creating a one line jobset with the value ABC* for the cartridge name, assuming ABC* does not identify more cartridges than the ones you are working with. The asterisk is the only wildcard character accepted and can be used only in the cartridge field.
is a secure or trusted environment. The encryption process used in a secure transfer might cause some degradation in the data transfer rate. All Files Checkbox. This option uses wild cards in the source cartridge name. If All Files is not checked, only the most recently modified file in the set of cartridges identified with the wild card is backed up. Checking All Files bypasses this selection process and causes all of the wildcard identified files to be backed up.
1. Set up network interface and hosts file. This step needs to be done for each Virtual TapeServer using Instant/DR or AutoCopy. a) Login as root. b) Enter the root password at prompt. c) System responds with the command prompt [root@losangeles default]#.

In this example, it is for the New York site: • IP Address: 10.10.2.145. • Hostsname: newyork-idr.tapelabs.com. (ID/R example) • Aliases: newyork-idr.
d) Click OK. e) Click New. f) Fill in information for the other Instant/DR or AutoCopy Virtual TapeServer. In this example, it is the Los Angeles site: • Address: 10.10.2.144. • Hostsname: losangeles-idr.tapelabs.com. • Aliases: losangeles-idr. g) Click OK. You now see both entries in the lower window.
h) Select File > Save. Click OK. You have created aliases for the IP addresses. i) Close the Network Configuration screen. j) From the OS desktop, select the Screen icon located at the bottom left of the desktop. A command prompt window opens. k) At the command prompt, [root @newyork default]#, enter service network restart. The network interfaces are reset. l) Test connectivity by pinging the network connections.
b) At the command prompt [bill@losangeles default]$, enter chown bill /home/bill/.rhosts to change the ownership to bill on the rhosts file. c) At the command prompt [bill@losangeles default]$, enter chmod 600 home /bill/.rhosts to set the privileges to read and write for bill. d) At the command prompt, [bill@losangeles default]$, enter vi /home/bill/.rhosts. e) Use the enter key to scroll down to the last line in the file. f) Type lower case o to start a new line to put the editor into insert mode.
h) Type yes if asked to continue. i) The id_rsa.pub file is copied to the newyork Instant/DR system and renamed authorized_keys. Do this for both Instant/DR systems. j) If you are on losangeles, you must copy to newyork. If you are on newyork, you must copy to losangeles. 5. Check the rsh connection. a) At the command prompt displays, [bill@losangeles .ssh]$, enter rsh newyork-idr uptime. This command displays the amount of time that the newyork system has been up.
vi /etc/rc.d/rc.local Add this line: sh /etc/iptables_script & When rebooted, all TCP/IP traffic will be blocked except SSH (Secure IDR), RSH (IDR), & ICMP (ping and traceroute). Examples These items show the commands for each of the blocked services: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -i eth1 --dport 22 -j ACCEPT Allows connections through port 22 (SSH).
VTS AutoCopy Feature This feature must be configured via certain settings in the VTS Configuration File. The settings designate which pools are to be monitored for mount and dismount activity for AutoCopy (AutoCopy is a Pool Level setting) and which VTS system is to be the recipient of copies of the modified virtual cartridges. AutoCopy assumes that a virtual cartridge mounted in Read/Write (or With Ring) mode will be modified upon dismount.
created if necessary. It is also worthwhile to note that the relevant sender and receiver vaults cannot be under the same GFS file system (if GFS is used) as that would mean we would be trying to copy a cartridge onto itself; a configuration not valid for AutoCopy. IMPLEMENTATION NOTE: It is important that the VTS EMS service be running in order that mounts and dismounts relevant to Auto Copy are observed.
VTS Policy Commands Overview The VTSPolicy command is a powerful tool designed to allow Virtual TapeServer users to control many of the data movement functions of Virtual TapeServer from the NonStop server connected to appliance. By including a TACL macro in user obey scripts, NonStop server administrators can automate the functions of initiating Backup Management Applications, and moving data to and from tape storage which may be shared among all of the systems in an enterprise environment.
These VTSPolicy commands are supported: VTSPolicy HPD: Initiate and process using HP Data Protector VTSPolicy TSM: Initiate and process using IBM Tivoli Storage Manager VTSPolicy BEX: Initiate and process using Syncsort Backup Express VTSPolicy NBU: Initiate and process using Veritas Netbackup VTSPolicy LEG: Initiate and process using EMC Legato VTSPolicy ARC: Initiate and process using CA Brightstor Arcserv VTSPolicy IDR: Synchronize from VTS-to-VTS using Instant DR or AutoCopy VTSPolicy Dele
VTSPolicy IDR Command The VTSPolicy IDR command allows the automatic launch of an Instant/DR or AutoCopy procedure directly from a NonStop server “obey” file. An EMS message is sent by including a TACL macro into the obey file for this purpose. The format of the VTSPolicy IDR command is: VTSPolicy IDR jobname Where jobname is the name of an IDR job defined and saved using the Virtual TapeServer GUI Instant/DR drop-down menu on the Virtual Media Operations screen.
VTS Fibre Channel Upgrade Replacing SCSI Adapter(s) with Fibre Channel Adapter(s) on the VTS Proliant Server Models Note: These instructions are for VTS release level 06.03.37 which is the minimum supported release for Fibre Channel Virtual Tape Drives. This procedure provides instructions to swap out one or more SCSI cards from a VTS Proliant server and replace them with the same number of VTS supported Fibre Channel cards.
Note: Before installing the VT5900-A Fibre Channel card(s), write down the World Wide Name (WWN) for each Fibre Channel port. WWN’s are required to start a Fibre Channel virtual tape drive on a NonStop server. a. b. c. d. e. f. st 1 SCSI card to be removed: in slot 3. nd 2 SCSI card to be removed. card in slot 4. rd 3 SCSI card to be removed. card in slot 2. th 4 SCSI card to be removed. card in slot 1. th 5 SCSI card to be removed. card in slot 7. th 6 SCSI card to be removed. card in slot 8.

VT5902 1) Every VTS Proliant ML530 has SCSI and Fibre Channel cards in the same physical slots. There will always be a Fibre Channel card in slot 6. There should be no reason to remove this card. Slots 2-5 can contain SCSI or Fibre Channel cards. A picture showing these slots follows – Image 1). The following order of SCSI card removal must be followed: Note: Before installing the Fibre Channel card(s) in the VT5900-C, write down the World Wide Name (WWN) for each Fibre Channel port.
cards were removed in the VTS DL585 Proliant server, some converter ports or entire units may no longer be used. Step 4: Configuring Fibre Channel Target Mode Fibre Channel ports can be set up as a Target (ie. an Integrity system talking to a VTS) or Initiator (VTS talking to a SAN or FC Tape drive). Unless otherwise specified, all Fibre Channel ports are set up in Initiator mode from the factory.

Type cd /usr/local/tape/bin to change directory location to the local tape bin. Type .
Note: You cannot skip a Fibre Channel port, i.e. changing ports 5, 4, and 2 to Target mode and leaving port 3 in Initiator mode will not work. Note: If port 5 was previously changed to Target mode and you now wanted to change port 4 to Target mode, you must specify both port 4 and 5 during this step. There are two ports on each Fibre Channel card. They are numbered port 1 and port 2. Look closely at the small metal bracket on the outside of the IO PC Riser cage and you will see the adapter port numbers.
4) 5) Make note of the last qla2300 bus number listed. In this example, it is 9. Type ./modconf.pl –w conf XX (XX is the port or ports where you want the port to be changed from Initiator mode to Target mode). This command changes one or more the ports (XX) to Target mode by loading the ISP driver in the modules.conf file. Note: To configure a Fibre Channel from Initiator mode (default) to Target Mode, you must start with the last Fibre Channel bus number first. Step 4D makes note of this bus number.
