Virtual TapeServer 6.04.01 Installation Guide

28 | Cabling and Connecting VTS
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.
Connecting power
Plug the power cords into grounded electrical outlets; it is recommended that the cables be
routed to separate power sources for redundancy.
Powering up and down
To power up
1. 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.
Allow the VTS server to completely boot before proceeding. The console will display a
login prompt when it is ready to proceed.
2. Power up the VTS SCSI converter using the power switch on the rear panel.
3. Start tape services on the NonStop server using the SCF START $VTAPE command,
where VTAPE is the name of the tape device. Here is an example of the output of this
command:
SCF - T9082H01 - (04DEC06) (15NOV06) - 10/02/2008 11:58:32 System \DEV5

To power down
1. Stop tape services on the NonStop server by entering the SCF STOP $VTAPE command,
where VTAPE is the name of the tape device. Here is an example of the output:
