4) Make note of the last qla2300 bus number listed. In this example, it is 9.
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 15 (see Step D above) which makes not
of the last Fibre Channel bus. To change a Fibre Channel ports to Target mode:
m. Changing 1 port: The command is ./modconf.pl –w conf 9
n. Changing 2 ports: The command is ./modconf.pl –w conf 8,9
o. Changing 3 ports: The command is ./modconf.pl –w conf 7,8,9
p. Changing 4 ports : The command is ./modconf.pl –w conf 6,7,8,9
q. Changing 5 ports : The command is ./modconf.pl –w conf 5,6,7,8,9
r. Changing 6 ports : The command is ./modconf.pl –w conf 4,5,6,7,8,9
s. Changing 7 ports : The command is ./modconf.pl –w conf 3,4,5,6,7,8,9
t. Changing 8 ports : The command is ./modconf.pl –w conf 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
Note: You cannot skip a Fibre Channel port, i.e. changing ports 9, 8, and 6 to Target mode and leaving
port 7 in Initiator mode will not work.
Note: If port 9 was previously changed to Target mode and you now wanted to change port 8 to Target
mode, you must specify both ports 8 and 9 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.

B. Type ./mkinitrd.pl –f to reboot the VTS system.
Step 5: Using the VTS GUI to Reconfigure a Virtual Tape Connection
This step reconfigures an existing virtual tape connection from SCSI to Fibre Channel. It is not
intended to provide instructions on how to create one or more new virtual tape connections.
Reconfiguring a virtual tape connection is necessary when:
