Configuring Ports
After cabling the host server(s) and external devices to the VTS server, you must configure the ports
to enable VTS to communicate properly with each device (target or initiator). Or, if you attach a
physical tape drive or storage device to the server after initial configuration, you must define the
port as physical. Ports connected to host servers must be defined as virtual.
To configure ports
Requires the View/Manage Configuration access right
1. Click Configuration > Virtual Devices on the navigation pane.
2. Click Toggle View Port Layout in the MANAGE PORT CONFIGURATION section of the page to
view a diagram of the back of your server, for reference during this procedure. The example
below is an image of the DL380 G6 server.
3. Configure each port that is used to attach VTS to a host server. From the drop-down list for
the port attached to the host server, select virtual.
