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.
Connecting NonStop Servers to Virtual TapeServer
NonStop S-series servers are connected to Virtual TapeServer through the Virtual TapeServer
SCSI interface connection module. This connection module converts HVD SCSI used by these
systems to 160MB/s low voltage differential (LVD) SCSI used by Virtual TapeServer. Ports are
labeled by bus number and SCSI type. Host controllers are usually set at ID 15, the default
SCSI ID. Attach each NonStop server to a separate port.
HP Integrity NonStop servers can be connected directly to Virtual TapeServer using native Fibre
Channel. They can also be connected to Virtual TapeServer via an S-series I/O enclosure,
which is used to convert the Integrity NonStop server Fibre Channel to SCSI.
Note: Make a note of hosts and the bus numbers to which they are connected. You need this
information to set up Virtual TapeServer.
