4 Cable the VTS server
You must cable the VTS server to the host server and any external storage devices.
Note
If Data Encryption is licensed, it is recommended that you connect the VTS server
directly to the host server instead of connecting VTS to a switch or router. Or, ensure the
connection between the host and VTS servers is secure, and ensure the connection
between the VTS server and the physical drive or library is secure if you want to export
encrypted virtual tapes.
