Here is an illustration of the slots on the back of the base model. If the P800 card is installed, it is
placed in slot 3 (below slot 4).
Here is an illustration of the HVD and LVD ports on the back of the SCSI converter:
Note If you replace one or both of the SCSI cards with the 2Gbps Fibre Channel card(s), as described
in "SCSI-to-Fibre Channel Adapter Upgrade" on page 43, and you set any of the Fibre Channel
ports to target mode (to connect the port to a virtual tape drive), port numbering will change.
After you replace the SCSI card(s) and reboot VTS, refer to the Manage Virtual Devices page in
the VTS web interface to see how the ports were renumbered. Contact your VTS service and
support representative for help correlating port numbers to ports on the back of the VTS
server.
Connecting the HP ProLiant DL385 G2 (VT5900-G)
The VT5900-G are built on a 2U (3.5 inch) chassis and provides up to four Fibre Channel ports,
numbered 0-3. A dual-channel 4Gbps Fibre Channel card is also provided for connection to external
storage (ports 4 and 5). This base model allows the use of four 2Gbps Fibre Channel ports for
connecting virtual tape drives (no ports on the 4Gbps Fibre Channel card can be used for virtual
connections).
Here is an illustration of the slots on the back of the base model. If the P800 card is installed, it is
placed in slot 3 (below slot 4).
