Chapter 3: Configuration Procedures
7. Verify that SCSI ID 7 is not in use by any devices being attached to the VT5900-SA. If ID 7 is
used, then set the Initiator ID to a value different from any SCSI IDs already in use on the
SCSI bus of the devices you are attaching to the VT5900-SA. Initiator ID “7" is the default
SCSI ID used on the VT5900-SA. To change the Initiator ID, select the appropriate SCSI bus
and then select a SCSI ID that is not in use by any device(s) attached to the VT5900-SA. When
finished, select the Submit button.
8. Reboot the VT5900-SA by selecting the Reboot menu option. In about 30 seconds, the
VT5900-SA will once again display the Home page of the Visual Manager interface.
9. If the VT5900-SA does not see all of the devices expected, repeat steps 4-6 above, and check
that the initiator ID(s) are set to a unique value for the selected bus. Again, you must submit
any changes and reboot the VT5900-SA.
You have now successfully configured the VT5900-SA. This procedure may not apply to all
situations but does address most key issues required for initial setup.
