VessRAID 1000f, 1000i, 1000s Series Quick Start Guide
Fibre Channel Storage Area Network (SAN)
This arrangement requires:
• A Fibre Channel (FC) interface card in each Host PC
• At least one FC transceiver for each VessRAID subsystem
• A network interface card (NIC) in each Host PC
• A standard network switch
Data Path
The VessRAID controller has two (2) FC Port connectors and two (2) Ethernet
RJ45 iSCSI Port connectors. See page 16, Figure 15.
To establish the data path:
1. Install an FC transceiver into the FC data port on the VessRAID controller.
See page 19, Figure 17.
2. Connect the FC transceiver on the VessRAID subsystem to the FC switch.
3. Connect the FC switch to the FC HBA card in the Host PC or Server.
If you have multiple VessRAID subsystems, Host PCs or Servers, repeat
steps 1 and 2 as required.
See also "SAS JBOD Expansion" on page 27.
Management Path
The VessRAID controller has one (1) Ethernet RJ-45 Management Port
connector. See page 16, Figure 15.
To establish the management path:
1. Attach one end of an Ethernet cable to the network connector or standard
NIC in the Host PC.
Attach the other end of the Ethernet cable to one of the ports on the standard
network switch.
See page 19, Figure 17.
2. Attach one end of an Ethernet cable to one of the ports on the standard
network switch.
Attach the other end of the Ethernet cable to the Management Port on the
VessRAID subsystem.
VessRAID Fibre Channel subsystems also have two (2) Ethernet
RJ45 iSCSI Port connectors. See "iSCSI Storage Area Network
(SAN)" on page 22 for connection instructions.
