Virtual TapeServer 8.0 Quick Start Guide

5 Power on the hardware
Perform these steps in order to power all VTS hardware:
A. Press the power button located on the front panel of the VTS server. The power button on the
front panel changes from yellow to green, and the server module self-boots.
Allow the VTS server to completely boot before proceeding. The console will display a login
prompt when it is ready to proceed.
B. Power up the VTS SCSI converter using the power switch on the rear panel, if necessary.
C. Start tape services on the host server. For example, on a NonStop server, use the SCF
START $VTAPE command, where VTAPE is the name of the tape device.
If problems arise, make sure there are no warning lights for any of the disk drives. Contact the
HP Global Critical Solution Center (GCSC) if you encounter hardware issues.
6 Configure network settings
You can set a static IP address, gateway address, and netmask, or you can use DHCP, which is
the default configuration, for eth0. (You must use a static IP address if GFS is configured in your
environment. DHCP is not supported with GFS.) The IP address of eth1 is set to 1.1.1.1 by
default. Also, you must set the system clock.
Note
All procedures in this section must be performed using the root user.
To configure network settings for eth0
A. If configuring the VTS server using a serial or Ethernet connection, you must access the
server using a terminal emulation application, such as PuTTY or HyperTerminal.
1. Launch the terminal emulation application.
2. For a serial connection, specify the COM port on the VTS server. Then, set the serial
properties of the port as follows:
Bits per second: 115200
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None
If using PuTTY, set the Character set translation on received data option to UTF-8
(in the Window→Translation category).
