6. Configure the remaining SCSI port(s) with the original settings.
a. On the VTS web interface, click Configuration > Manage Virtual Devices on the
navigation pane.
b. If prompted, enter the login credentials.

c. Starting at the highest numbered port, configure the Fibre Channel ports as virtual
devices by selecting virtual for the port(s).

to virtual, leaving port 13 as physical (if the checkbox is not selected, it defaults to
physical).
