Here is an illustration of the back of the VT5900-K:
The second 4Gb FC card (VT5900-FC4) shown in slot 2 is optional and may not be installed.
To connect to the host server
When connecting host servers over Fibre Channel to the VTS server, use one port per host
server, if possible. If connecting more than one host server through a switch, ensure that the host
servers are of the same type. Each Fibre Channel port on the VTS server is configured to emulate
one host type only. Host servers of differing types must be connected to separate ports.
A. Connect one end of a Fibre optic cable to a Fibre Channel (FC) port on the VTS server.
B. Connect the other end of the cable to the host server.
C. Note the port number used on the VTS server. Later, you will have to set this port to target
mode using the VTS web interface.
To connect to an external tape device
A. Connect one end of a Fibre optic cable to a Fibre Channel (FC) port on the VTS server.
B. Connect the other end of the cable to the external drive or library.
C. Note the port number used on the VTS server. Later, you will have to set the port to physical
mode using the VTS web interface.
To connect to the network
Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to Ethernet port 1. (Port 1 corresponds to eth0 in Linux.)
Connect the other end of the cable to the LAN or WAN switch.
If Instant DR or AutoCopy is licensed, you may also want to connect to Ethernet port 2. (Port 2
corresponds to eth1.) Performance on port 1 may be affected if you do not dedicate a port to
1. Power plugs
2. PS/2 port
3. PS/2 port
4. Serial port
5. FC port (slot 3, port A)
6. FC port (slot 3, port B)
7. Ethernet ports
8. USB ports
9. Mgmt port
10. VGA port
11. FC port (slot 2, port A)
12. FC port (slot 2, port B)
