2. Use Command View VLS to convert some of your available host ports into storage ports that can be then used to connect to the destination library. a. Select Fibre Channel from the navigation pane in the expanded list under Node 0. b. Use the Config port mode task to specify how many host ports will be retained. See Figure 45. All remaining ports in descending order from the highest-numbered port will be converted to storage ports and will be usable for connection to destination libraries. For example, if you configure the number of host ports to two on a VLS6500 with four fibre channel ports, ports 0 and 1 will be retained as host ports. Ports 2 and 3 will be converted to storage ports. NOTE: After you configure host ports to storage ports, the device will reboot as a part of the conversion process. Figure 45 Config port mode . 3. Connect the destination library to the VLS6000 either by connecting directly to the storage ports or by connecting the storage ports into a SAN zone that contains the destination library. NOTE: If you are connecting via a SAN zone, ensure that only the destination library is present in that zone and no other devices are visible. 4. The system will reboot and detect the newly connected destination library. Managing and Unmanaging a Destination Library To manage a library is to enable automigration by connecting the source library to a destination library that is already on the VLS. Until you manage the destination library, it cannot communicate with the source. The process for managing destination libraries is different for SAN libraries than for 76 Automigration/Replication
