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. You can equate these with the bus numbering on the VTS as shown below.
VT5900-C bus and slot relationships.
PCI-X Slot Bus Number Virtual Tape Name
3 A 0 $VTAPE00
3 B 1 $VTAPE01
2 A 2 $VTAPE02
2 B 3 $VTAPE03
1 A 4 Fibre *
1 B 5 Fibre *
VT5901 bus and slot relationships.
PCI-X Slot Bus Number Virtual Tape Name
3 A 5 Fibre *
3 B 4 Fibre *
2 A 3 $VTAPE03
2 B 2 $VTAPE02
1 A 1 $VTAPE01
1 B 0 $VTAPE00

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 look like:
aic7xxx=0,1,2,3,4,5
qla2300=6,7,8,9
Aic7xxx is the SCSI driver and the numbers shown represent the bus numbers where there is a SCSI
port. This example indicates there are six 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.
