Virtual TapeServer 6.04.02 for NonStop Servers Supplemental Installation Guide

56 | Advanced Options for Tape Connections
This field is optional unless the host server is a NonStop BladeSystem. If you do not
enter a serial number, the BTLI will be presented to the host as the serial number but
not shown in the web interface. The default BTLI serial number is unique per VTS
server but other VTS servers may create the same BTLI serial number. In an
environment with more than one VTS server connected to a NonStop BladeSystem,
specify serial numbers that are unique across the environment to avoid conflicts.
