Task 5: Making Data and Management Connections

You can configure your VessRAID for:
• Direct Attached Storage (DAS)
• DAS plus JBOD Expansion
Configuring a Data Path
To establish the data path:
1. Connect the SAS HBA card in the Host PC to the SAS IN ports (with a circle
icon) on the VessRAID controller. See Figure 11.
2. Connect the SAS Expansion port (with a diamond icon) of the VessRAID
controller to the SAS IN port (with a circle icon) on the I/O module of the first
VessJBOD.
3. Connect the SAS OUT port (with a diamond icon) of the VessJBOD I/O
module of the first VessJBOD to the SAS IN port (with a circle icon) on the
I/O module of the second VessJBOD.
4. Connect the remaining VessJBOD units in the same manner.
Be sure to connect circle icon to diamond icon and vice versa.
All SAS ports have SFF-8088 connectors.
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. Connect the Management port on each Controller to your network switch.
See Figure 11.
2. Connect the Host PC's or Server's NIC to your network switch.
VessRAID does not support cascading of multiple RAID
subsystems. Cascading is planned for a future release.
