e. For the SCSI buses, set the buses to Virtual or Physical according to the settings that
were recorded in step
1e.
f. Click Set Limits.
7. Configure the new Fibre Channel bus(es) as virtual devices (targets). For each bus that
you wish to configure for use as a virtual tape device, complete these steps:
a. Click Factory Setup on the navigation pane.
b. When prompted, enter the login credentials.
c. Click Factory Options and enter the login credentials again.
d. Click Manage system limits. The Manage system limits page is displayed. Fibre
Channel buses are highlighted in yellow, and there are two buses listed per Fibre
Channel card installed.
e. Starting at the highest numbered bus, configure the Fibre Channel buses as virtual
devices by selecting the Virtual (target) checkbox for the bus(es).
Note You cannot skip a Fibre Channel bus. For example, you cannot set buses 15,
14, and 12 to Virtual, leaving port 13 as Physical (if the checkbox is not
selected, it defaults to Physical).
