Virtual TapeServer 6.03.41 Installation Guide

Installation Summary and Checklist | 15
Installation checklist
To facilitate an efficient installation, complete these preparations before service personnel
arrive on location:
• Identify available processor multifunction (PMF), input/output multifunction (IOMF),
and ServerNet device adapter SCSI or FCSA Fibre Channel connection locations.
• Obtain cables that are long enough to reach between the NonStop server and VTS. Host
cables are not included with VTS.
• Provide sufficient 110 volt (220/240 volt outside the USA) power outlets. VTS uses
redundant power supplies, so consider independent power sources for high-availability
operation. Additional power outlets might be required for external tape drives or RAID
storage devices.
• Secure a monitor and keyboard for temporary use during installation. VTS does not
require a monitor or keyboard for normal operation. However, it is recommended that you
connect a monitor and keyboard when rebooting the system.
• Obtain a CAT-5 Ethernet cable for connecting VTS to the network.
• Identify TCP/IP information to assign to VTS:
• Fully qualified domain name
• IP address
• Subnet mask
• Default router (gateway)
• DNS or DHCP addresses with VTS name entered
• Identify a PC with Microsoft Windows and Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher that can be
used to access the IP address provided for VTS.
