VessRAID 1000f, 1000i, 1000s Series Quick Start Guide
iSCSI Direct Attached Storage (DAS)
This arrangement requires:
• A Gigabit Ethernet network interface card (GbE NIC) in the Host PC or
Server with iSCSI support in hardware or in 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
The VessRAID controller has four (4) Ethernet RJ45 iSCSI Port connectors. See
page 21, Figure 18.
To establish the data path:
1. Attach one end of an Ethernet cable to the GbE (iSCSI) NIC in the Host PC.
See page 21, Figure 19.
2. Attach the other end of the Ethernet cable to one of the four iSCSI ports on
the VessRAID controller.
If you have multiple VessRAID subsystems, Host PCs or Servers, repeat
steps 1 and 2 as required.
See also "SAS JBOD Expansion" on page 27.
Configuring a Management Path
The VessRAID controller has one (1) Ethernet RJ-45 Management Port
connector. See page 21, Figure 18.
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. See page 21, Figure 19.
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.
If you have multiple VessRAID subsystems, Host PCs or Servers, repeat
steps 1 and 2 as required.
These instructions also apply to the iSCSI Ports on VessRAID
Fibre Channel subsystems.
