    Please read through the section in Appliance Admin Guide that I have mentioned above.

    It explains on page 265 which ports are used for Fibre Transport on the different Appliance models. 

    ■ NetBackup 5220 - FC HBA cards in slots 2 and 4
    ■ NetBackup 5230 and NetBackup 5330 - FC HBA cards in slots 5 and 6

    The NetBackup 5240 Appliance and Storage Shelf Product Description explains on page 19 and 20 the PCI slot layout.

Hi all,

My team and I really appreciated the assistance much earlier on the clarifications.

In Summary:
1. Slot 5 and 6 Port 1 are automatically changed to Target mode after Fibre Transport enabled. San Client remained at Slot 6 Port 1, Slot 5 reserved for future usage. 
2. We zone changed for the tape library to Appliance 5240 Slot 4 Port 1 (Initiator). 
3. Changed to Slot 2 Port 1 (Initiator) for San Storage (VMware Datastore).
4. Datastore and Tape Library seen. San Client detected at NBU Admin Console.
5. Successful backups. 

Thanks.
