Virtual TapeServer 6.04.03 for NonStop Servers Quick Setup Guide

4 | Virtual TapeServer Quick Setup Guide
Review standard operating practices
Standard operating practices include
• Obtaining an ESD protection kit and following the directions that come with the kit.
• Ensuring that your ESD protection kit contains an antistatic table mat and that your ESD
wrist strap has a built-in series resistor.
• Removing all metal accessories before working with the equipment.
• Restraining any dangling items that can get caught in equipment.
• Working in an ESD-protected environment:
Gather network information
After you mount and cable the hardware, you must configure the following network settings if
you do not plan to use DHCP (DHCP is not supported with GFS):
• Fully qualified domain name
• IP address
• Subnet mask
• Default router (gateway)
• DNS or DHCP addresses with VTS name entered
A second set of IP settings may be required if configuring Instant DR or AutoCopy. It is
recommended that you segregate Instant DR and AutoCopy traffic from network and EMS traffic
to ensure adequate response times.
It is also recommended that you determine the time zone in which the VTS server will reside.
