Step 4: Making Management and Data Connections
For Serial Attached SCSI setup, go to page 16.
Fibre Channel
VTrak models can have one or two RAID controllers. Each controller has an
Ethernet (RJ45) Management Port connector that enables you to monitor the
VTrak over your network using the WebPAM PROe Software. VTrak supports
HTTP, HTTPS, and Telnet protocols.
The VTrak E310f RAID controller has two 4-Gb Fibre Channel (FC) connections
for the data ports. See Figure 10.
You can configure your VTrak for:
• Storage Area Network (SAN)
• Direct Attached Storage (DAS)
• JBOD Expansion using a SAS data connection
Figure 10.VTrak E310f controller data and management connectors
Configuring a Storage Area Network
A storage area network (SAN) requires:
• A Fibre Channel switch
• A Fibre Channel HBA card in each Host PC/Server
• A network switch
• A network interface card (NIC) in each Host PC/Server
To establish the data path:
On the VTrak controller, connect one of the Fibre Channel data ports to your
Fibre Channel switch.
To establish the management path:
1. On the VTrak controller, connect the Management Port to your network
switch. Figure 11.
