VessRAID 1000i Series Quick Start Guide
Storage Area Network (SAN)
This arrangement requires:
• A Gigabit Ethernet network interface card (GbE NIC) in the Host PC with
iSCSI support (in hardware or software)
• A GbE network switch
• 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.
Attach the other end of the Ethernet cable to one of the ports on the GbE
switch.
2. Attach one end of an Ethernet cable to one of the ports on the GbE switch.
Attach the other end of the Ethernet cable to one of the four iSCSI ports on
the VessRAID subsystem.
Only one iSCSI data cable is required between the VessRAID and GbE
network switch. However, you can attach multiple cables to create redundant
data paths.
If you have another iSCSI VessRAID subsystem, configure its Data Path in
the same way.
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.
Attach the other end of the Ethernet cable to the management port on the
VessRAID subsystem.
