Task 6: Making Data Connections
Connecting the RAID Subsystem
The VTrak RAID subsystem connects to the VTrak appliance using a Fibre
Channel (FC) or a SAS data connection.
Fibre Channel Interface
The VTrak FC subsystem uses four (4) 8-Gb SFP+ transceivers, two per RAID
controller on its two FC ports.
To connect the FC subsystem:
1.
Connect one of the FC ports on the
left
RAID controller to one of the
down
stream FC ports on the HBA card in the VTrak appliance.
2.
Connect one of the FC ports on the
right
RAID controller to one of the
down
stream FC ports on the HBA card in the VTrak appliance.
See the diagram below.
