Virtual TapeServer 6.04.01 Installation Guide

Cabling and Connecting VTS | 23
Here is an illustration of the slots on the back of the base model. If the P800 card is installed,
it is placed in slot 3 (below slot 4).
Here is an illustration of the HVD and LVD ports on the back of the SCSI converter:
Note If you replace one or both of the SCSI cards with the 2Gb FC card(s), as described in
SCSI-to-Fibre Channel Adapter Upgrade on page 141, and you set any of the FC ports
to target mode (to connect the port to a virtual tape drive), bus numbering will
change. After you replace the SCSI card(s) and reboot VTS, refer to the Manage
system limits page in the VTS web interface to see how the buses were renumbered.
Contact your VTS service and support representative for help correlating bus
numbers to ports on the back of the VTS server.
Connecting the VT5900-G or VT5900-J
The VT5900-G and VT5900-J are built on a 2U (3.5 inch) chassis and provides up to four Fibre
Channel buses, numbered 0-3. A dual-channel 4Gb FC card is also provided for connection to
external storage (buses 4 and 5). This base model allows the use of four 2Gb FC buses for
connecting virtual tape drives (no ports on the 4Gb FC card can be used for virtual
connections).
Here is an illustration of the slots on the back of the base model. If the P800 card is installed,
it is placed in slot 3 (below slot 4).
