Configuring the NonStop BladeSystem Cluster I/O Module
If the NonStop BladeSystem is used as the host server and the Cluster I/O Module (CLIM)
will be used, you must configure the virtual tape drives on the NonStop. Complete the
following steps to do so:
1. Verify that the serial number specified for each virtual tape drive (in VTS) is unique. See
step
3j on page 51 for more information.
2. Verify that the CLIM is connected to the VTS server using a Fibre Channel cable.
3. Issue the following command on BladeSystem server to verify the list of devices, including
those configured in VTS:
CLIMCMD clim_name lunmgr -f
