Goal

This instruction is intended to assist the customer in determining the VTL product name using the VTL Console, when the Build is 1323.
VTL Build 1323 is the only build that spans two different Sun VTL products, VTL Value and VTL Plus 1.0.

Getting the VTL product name from VTL Console, when the build is 1323 or later. These steps identify a basic difference between the VTL Value and the VTL Plus 1.0 product. The VTL Value uses internal SCSI devices for its disks and the VTL Plus uses Fibre Channel devices for its disks.
