Here is an illustration of the HVD and LVD ports on the back of the SCSI converter:
Modifying virtual tape connections
When modifying a virtual tape connection in VTS, you must define a virtual tape’s properties.
Refer to
Configuring and Validating Virtual Tape Drives on page 47 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:
Upgrading a SCSI Adapter to a Fibre Channel Adapter
SCSI-to-Fibre Channel Adapter Upgrade on page 141 provides instructions to replace one or
more SCSI cards with the same number of VTS-supported Fibre Channel (FC) cards.
Instructions for the 6.03.42 models are included in that appendix; refer to it for the steps
required to replace a SCSI card. This section describes the specific step needed for the
following VTS models:
• VT5900-A, on the HP ProLiant DL585 G1
• VT5900-B and VT5900-C, on the HP ProLiant DL380 G4
DL380 G4 (VT5900-B, VT5900-C)
