VT5900-C / VT5901
1) From the terminal window, login as root.
2) Type cd /usr/local/tape/bin to change directory location to the local tape bin.
3) Type ./procscsi.pl to scan PCI bus and to ID the bus numbers. The reply should consist of two lines
that look similar to:
aic7xxx=0,1
qla2300=2,3,4,5
Aic7xxx is the SCSI driver and the numbers shown represent the bus numbers where there is a SCSI
port. This example indicates there are two SCSI ports. Qla2300 is the Fibre Channel driver and the
numbers shown represent the bus numbers where there is a Fibre Channel port. This example
indicates there are four Fibre Channel ports.
4) Make note of the last qla2300 bus number listed. In this example, it is 5.
5) 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. VTS sequentially
changes Fibre Channel ports to target mode starting with the last Fibre Channel port in the system.
6) In this example, the first port to change to Target mode is port 5 (see Step D above) which makes not of
the last Fibre Channel bus. To change a Fibre Channel port to Target mode:
i. Changing 1 port: The command is ./modconf.pl –w conf 5
j. Changing 2 ports: The command is ./modconf.pl –w conf 4,5
k. Changing 3 ports: The command is ./modconf.pl –w conf 3,4,5
l. Changing 4 ports : The command is ./modconf.pl –w conf 2,3,4,5
