Task 6: Configuring the VTrak

The VTrak supports a wide range of RAID levels, cache settings, and volume
configurations. See the VTrak E-Class Product (User) Manual for more
information.
Apple provides a number of tested and supported configuration scripts to simplify
system configuration for most common storage applications using Mac OS X,
including Xsan configurations. These scripts automatically configure a new VTrak
system for best performance.
Visit Apple's Knowledge Base at
configuration scripts and directions on applying them.
Preparing Your Script
To prepare your configuration script:
1. Double-click this link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1200.
The scripts are listed under Configure via script.
2. Carefully read the descriptions and choose the script that matches your
application. Click the script name to choose it.
3. Highlight the entire script from #Begin Copy through #End Copy , then press
-C to copy it.
4. Open TextEdit and press
From the dropdown menu, choose Format > Make Plain Text .
5.
Be sure you convert the configuration script to a plain text file.
6. Choose File > Save As , name the script file, and click the Save button.
Your configuration script is ready to import using WebPAM PROe.
Checking Your Physical Drives
The configuration script only works when all of your physical drives are
unconfigured. If you are setting up your VTrak system for the first time, all of your
drives will be unconfigured.
To check your physical drives:
1. If WebPAM PROe is not running, launch Safari and log into WebPAM PROe
as described in "Task 5: Performing the Initial Setup" on page 17.
2. In Tree View, click
Drives.
3. Under the Information tab, look at the Operational Status and Configuration
of each physical drive.
