Task 3: Making Management and Data Connections

VTrak E-Class models have one or two RAID controllers. Each controller has an
Ethernet (RJ45) Management Port connector that enables you to monitor the
VTrak over your network using the WebPAM PROe Software. The VTrak
supports HTTP, HTTPS, and Telnet protocols.
The VTrak RAID controllers have two 4-Gb Fibre Channel (FC) connections for
the data ports. See Figure 3.
You can configure your VTrak for:
• Storage Area Network (SAN)
• Direct Attached Storage (DAS)
• Expansion chassis using SAS data connections

When you require more than 16 hard disk drives for your storage system, you
can add capacity by connecting up to four VTrak J-Class expansion chassis. See
Figure 4 on page 8.
