Modifying virtual tape connections
When modifying a virtual tape connection in VTS, you must define a virtual tape’s properties.
Refer to
Reconfiguring and Validating Virtual Tape Connections on page 35 for an
explanation of the properties and instructions for modifying them. These following provides
information needed when modifying the bus ID for virtual tape connections on 6.03.39 and
6.03.41 hardware.
To determine the bus ID, you must find the PCI slot number on the back of the VTS server
module where the SCSI or Fibre Channel cable connects from the card to the target. Labels
indicate the bus number for each port.
For legacy hardware, the bus IDs are as follows:
HVD Bus A HVD Bus B HVD Bus C HVD Bus D
To NonStop server To NonStop server To NonStop server To NonStop server
LVD Bus A LVD Bus B LVD Bus C LVD Bus D
To bus 2 To bus 3 To bus 4 To bus 5
HVD Bus A HVD Bus B HVD Bus C HVD Bus D
To NonStop server To NonStop server To NonStop server To NonStop server
LVD Bus A LVD Bus B LVD Bus C LVD Bus D
To bus 6 To bus 7 To bus 8 To bus 9
