Configuring and Validating Virtual Tape Drives | 49
i. Specify a name for the virtual tape drive in the name field. If you are creating
multiple virtual tape drives, increment the number that is appended to the physical
tape drive noted in step

page.
b. Click Add a new virtual tape. The Add A New Virtual Tape page is displayed.
c. From the bus drop-down list, select the bus ID to which the host server is connected.
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.
d. From the target drop-down list, select the ID on which the virtual tape drive will
respond. This is the ID that the host uses to identify its target, and the ID typically
ranges from 0–15.
Note Fibre Channel devices use LUN-based addressing. SCSI devices use target-
based addressing. For Fibre Channel devices, the LUN determines the unique
address of the device on the bus. When assigning the target ID and LUN, be
sure to assign a unique combination. For example, you cannot assign target
ID 0 LUN 0 and target ID 1 LUN 0 on the same bus; this creates a conflict. All
