Review the VTS server configuration
Here is an overview of the VTS hardware that may have been purchased:
* A dual-port 2Gb FC card (VT5900-FCU) may have been purchased to replace one of the SCSI cards in slot 4 or 5. Also,
VTS assigns ID 6 to the SCSI cards because VTS acts as a SCSI target for virtual devices. Using ID 6 avoids SCSI ID
conflicts with SCSI hosts. Modify settings on the host server or attached physical devices accordingly.
† This is the disk capacity specified by the manufacturer before RAID 5 formatting
