Connecting the Cables and Powering On
41
ƒ
If required, connect additional Ethernet cables to the remaining Ethernet ports.
You configure these network connections after you complete the initial
configuration steps (see
Configuring Additional Network Connections on
page 50).
2. If you plan to use remote power management, connect an Ethernet cable to the
RJ-45 RMM port on the rear panel. Connect the other end of the cable to an active
network with a computer that can be used to access the RMM from a remote host
using a standard web browser.
3. Connect the interface cable from your backup server to the appropriate connectors
on the nTier700 VTL rear panel. See Figure 1-4 on page 21 for the location of the
connectors on the back panel.
ƒ
If the backup server is on an iSCSI network, connect an Ethernet cable from
your switch to one of the Ethernet ports on the nTier700 VTL rear panel. If the
VTL Console is installed on your Windows-based backup server, the port you
use to connect to the backup server can also be used by the VTL Console and
for accessing the BlueScale web interface.
ƒ
If the backup server is on a Fibre Channel (FC) network, connect an FC cable
from your switch to an FC card installed in the nTier700 VTL. The VTL Console
identifies the left port as Fibre.Channel.Adapter.100 and the right port as
Fibre.Channel.Adapter.101.
ƒ
If the backup server is on a 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GigE) network, connect a
cable from your switch to the optional 10 GigE card installed in the nTier700 VTL.
4. If desired, connect the nTier700 VTL to a physical library, a standalone tape drive,
or another nTier VTL appliance.
ƒ
If your physical library or tape drive uses a SCSI interface, connect a SCSI cable
from a SCSI host bus adapter (HBA) installed in the nTier700 VTL to your library
or tape drive.
ƒ
If your physical library, tape drive, or other nTier VTL appliance is on an Fibre
Channel network, connect a cable from your switch to an optional Fibre
Channel NIC installed in the nTier700 VTL.
ƒ
If your physical library, tape drive, or other nTier VTL appliance is on an iSCSI
or 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GigE) network, connect an Ethernet cable from your
switch to one of the unused Ethernet ports on the nTier700 VTL rear panel or to
a 10 GigE NIC installed in the nTier700 VTL.
5. Connect the AC inputs on the nTier700 VTL power supplies to an appropriate AC
power source.
a.
Connect a power cord to each of the power supply connectors on the back
panel.
b. Push the cord lock on each connector to the left so that it fits over the power
cord, locking it in place.
c.
Plug the other end of each cord to an AC power outlet.
