Virtual TapeServer 6.04.04 for NonStop Servers Supplemental Installation Guide

SCSI-to-Fibre Channel Adapter Upgrade | 35
g. After you install the Fibre Channel upgrade cards in the appropriate slots, make sure
the blue clips are firmly seated and locked in place on each slot. Then, re-install the
PCI Riser cage in the DL385 G2 chassis. Once aligned, firmly press the module into
place. Re-tighten the two blue pull tabs on the PCI Riser cage.
h. Place the top cover back in place and secure it. Slide the HP DL385 G2 ProLiant
server back into the rack and secure the two quick-disconnect screws on the front
panel.
i. From the rear of the HP ProLiant DL385 G2 server, reconnect any remaining SCSI
cables to the same ports where they were originally connected, if necessary. Because
you removed one or more SCSI cards, you will have extra, unused SCSI cables.
Reconnect the power cords.
4. Restart VTS.
a. Power on the ProLiant server by pushing the power button on the front panel. The
restart process begins and is complete when the screen displays a login prompt.
b. Power on all of the SCSI converters using the switch on the rear of each unit.
Depending on how many SCSI cards were removed from the ProLiant server, some
converter ports or entire units may no longer be used.
5. Configure the remaining SCSI port(s) with the original settings.
a. On the VTS web interface, click Manage Connections on the navigation pane.
b. If prompted, enter the login credentials.
c. For the SCSI buses, set the buses to virtual or physical according to the settings
that were recorded in step
1c.
d. Click Submit.
6. Configure the new Fibre Channel port(s) as virtual devices (targets). For each port that
you wish to configure for use as a virtual tape drive, complete these steps:
a. Click Manage Connections on the navigation pane.
b. If prompted, enter the login credentials.
c. Starting at the highest numbered port, configure the Fibre Channel ports as virtual
devices by selecting virtual for the port(s).
Note You cannot skip a Fibre Channel port. For example, you cannot set buses 15,
14, and 12 to virtual, leaving port 13 as physical (if the checkbox is not
selected, it defaults to physical).
As a reminder, here are the slot-to-bus relationships on the VT5900-E (HP ProLiant
DL385 G2) and VT5900-H (HP ProLiant DL385 G5):
PCI Slot Bus Number Card Type Virtual Tape Name
1 A N/A (P400 controller card)
1 B N/A (P400 controller card)
2 A 4 4G Fibre Fibre
2 B 5 4G Fibre Fibre
3 A N/A (left open for P800
controller card)
