3.2. SAS Zoning
QSAN XCubeDAS XD5300 series system is equipped with 5 SAS ports for each controller
that means one XD5300 system can serve five servers as expansion storage in each
controller. The XCubeDAS XD5300 series provides SAS zoning features and list the
advantage on the following.
1. Easy disk drive management: Users can designate certain disk drive to be accessed by
single SAS port. For example, users can designate disk drive slot 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 for the
SAS port 1; the server can only detect and access disk drive slot 1 ~ 5 via the SAS port 1.
2. Data access control: Due to SAS zoning feature can segregate and isolate disk drives
from different SAS ports, one SAS port can only detect and access the designated disk
drives by users
’ setting. It provides higher security for IT administrator.
It is strongly recommended to configure SAS zoning after the first installation and
initialization of the XCubeDAS system.
Following is the procedures for SAS configuring SAS zoning. We will take the XD5324 (4U
24-bay model) as an example.
1. Make sure the XCubeDAS system power cords are connected to power outlet, all
available disk drives are installed into disk drive slots, and then power on the XCubeDAS
system.
2. Make sure all servers that connect to SAS ports can detect and access the XCubeDAS
system.
