Most system management can be done using PROMISE Utility Pro connected via network connection
through either 1G network port or via Share Port connection. Some more advanced system changes however
require using the WebPAM Insight web-based system management GUI. For example, if you want to change
the RAID, extend or change a Storage Pool, these operations must be done using WebPAM Insight. Keep in
mind that the VTrak is shipped ready to use, with the Disk Pool and RAID already configured, most users will
not need to change any of these. Also note that making changes to the RAID or Storage Pool configuration
will erase any data that is stored on the effected disks.
To use the VTrak, you first need to install the most up to date hardware drivers and PROMISE Utility Pro
software. PROMISE Utility Pro allows the system administrator and collaborative users to copy and transfer
files, create private and public folders; this is also where users can enable File Boost to quickly send or
retrieve files between the Private volumes and the Public NAS folders.
