chained subject to the maximum SCSI limitation of 82 foot total cable length. An HVD
terminator is required on the last drive in the daisy chain.
Connecting to the LAN, SAN, and power
The following sections describe how to connect VTS to the network and power.
Connecting to a LAN
VTS is equipped with two standard 10Mbps/100Mbps/1Gbps Ethernet ports. Connect
Ethernet port 1 for normal connectivity and port 2 for Instant DR and AutoCopy functionality.
Port 1 corresponds to Eth0 in Linux, and Port 2 corresponds to Eth1.
Connecting to a SAN
When defining LUNs on a storage array, start at LUN 0. Otherwise, the Fibre Channel
interface in VTS might not recognize them correctly.
Powering up and down
Plug the power cords into grounded electrical outlets; it is recommended that the cables be
routed to separate power sources for redundancy.
Note Power up the SCSI converter before the VTS server module. Power down the SCSI
converter before powering down the VTS server module.
To power up
1. Power up the VTS SCSI converter using the power switch on the rear panel.
2. Press the power button located on the front panel of the VTS server module. The power
button on the front panel changes from yellow to green, and the server module self-boots.
To power down
1. Execute the halt command by clicking Supervisor Tools on the navigation pane of the
user interface and then clicking Halt the System.
2. Press the power button located on the front panel of the VTS server module. The button
light changes from green to yellow.
