(#1026) Convert 8 VTC PtP to 4 VTC PtP Configuration


This feature allows an 8 VTC PtP configuration of VTS Model B18
to be converted to a 4 VTC VTS Model B20 PtP configuration. This
feature must be ordered on each VTS in that PtP configuration. For a
Model B18, it must be included on the MES with the B18 to B20 model
conversion.


  • Maximum: One
  • Corequisites:

    • To convert an 8 VTC Model B18 to 4 VTC Model B20,
      four channel adapters must be removed from the Model B18 with its
      conversion to a Model B20. In addition, a VTS Model B20 with four
      attached VTCs requires a quantity two of feature #5265 (Incremental
      Virtual Drives). A feature conversion is available to convert
      the feature #5264 (64 Additional Virtual Drives) to one feature #5265,
      and the second feature #5265 must be added.
    • The conversion from an 8 to 4 VTC PtP configuration may require
      a Model CX0 to Model CX1
      conversion or a conversion of the existing VTCs in a Model CX1.
      If the Model CX0 or CX1 does not match the required
      configuration, the necessary features (#11xx, #1023, #1024, or #1025)
      or feature conversions must be ordered on the Model CX1.
      Based on the Model CX0s or CX1s final configuration, the required
      corresponding host adapters may also need to be ordered on the VTSs.

  • Field Installation Only
