Serial Attached SCSI
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 standard VTrak E310s controller has three SAS ports:
Data port – Connects to the Host PC or Server
Data/Cascade port – Connects to the data port of a second E310s controller
or to the Host PC or Server
SAS Expansion port – Connects to a VTrak J300s JBOD expansion
subsystem
If your VTrak E310s has the optional daughter card installed in the controller, you
have two data ports and two data/cascade ports, plus the SAS expansion port.
You can configure your VTrak for:
Direct Attached Storage (DAS)
Cascaded Storage (Multiple E310s subsystems)
JBOD Expansion using a SAS data connection
