VessRAID 1000i Series Quick Start Guide

Task 5: Making Data and Management Connections

You can configure your VessRAID for:
• Direct Attached Storage (DAS), see below
• Storage Area Network (SAN), see page 14
• JBOD Expansion to DAS or SAN (16- and 12-bay models), see page 16
Direct Attached Storage (DAS)
This arrangement requires:
• A Gigabit Ethernet network interface card (GbE NIC) in the Host PC with
iSCSI support (in hardware or software)
• A standard network switch
• A network interface connector on the motherboard or network interface card
(NIC) in the Host PC
Configuring a Data Path
VessRAID subsystems have one RAID controller. The controller has four
Ethernet (RJ45) iSCSI Port connectors.
To establish the data path:
1. Attach one end of an Ethernet cable to the GbE (iSCSI) NIC in the Host PC.
2. Attach the other end of the Ethernet cable to one of the four iSCSI ports on
the VessRAID subsystem.
Configuring a Management Path
VessRAID subsystems have one RAID controller. The controller has an Ethernet
(RJ45) Management Port connector that enables you to monitor the VessRAID
over your network using the WebPAM PROe software. VessRAID supports
HTTP, HTTPS, and Telnet protocols.
To establish the management path:
1. Attach one end of an Ethernet cable to the network connector or standard
NIC in the Host PC.
Attach the other end of the Ethernet cable to one of the ports on the standard
network switch.
2. Attach one end of an Ethernet cable to one of the ports on the standard
network switch.
VessRAID does not support cascading of multiple RAID
subsystems. Cascading is planned for a future release.
