Virtual TapeServer 8.0 Supplemental Installation Guide

50 | Hardware Information for Legacy Installations

Connecting to the HP ProLiant DL380 G6 (VT5900-L)

Note The VT5900-P that ships with version 8.0 is also built on the DL380 G6. Refer to the

8.0 Quick Start Guide for connection information for this server.

Here is an illustration of the back of the VT5900-L (base model):

An FC card (VT5900-FC4) may be installed in slot 5 (above slot 6). A FC card (VT5900-FC4)

may also be installed in slot 1 (above the fan and power plug on the left), replacing the P800

card that is installed in the base model.

Modifying virtual tape connections

When modifying a virtual tape connection in VTS, you must define a virtual tape’s properties.

Refer to the Virtual TapeServer Configuration Guide for an explanation of the properties and

instructions for modifying them. The following provides information needed when modifying

the port ID for virtual tape connections on 6.03.39 and 6.03.41 hardware.

To determine the port ID, you must find the PCI slot number on the back of the VTS server

module where the SCSI or Fibre Channel cable connects from the card to the target. Labels

indicate the port number for each port. For legacy hardware, the port IDs are as follows:

1. 4Gb FC ports (slot 2)

2. 4Gb FC ports (slot 3)

3. Power plugs

4. 4Gb FC ports (slot 6)

5. Ethernet ports 4 and

6. iLO port

7. Serial port

8. PS/2 ports

9. Ethernet ports 2

and 1

10. VGA port

11. USB ports
