Sas Jbod Expansion; Configuring The Data Path - Vess R2000 Serie Guia De Inicio Rapido

10GbE connections (R2600ti)
For a 10GbE storage network, use Cat 6 or better cabling to connect the two 10GbE ports on the
R2600ti controller:
1. Connect Ethernet cables between the HBA NIC or in both host PCs orservers and the 10
GbE network switch.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable between at least one 10 GbE data port on the left RAID
controller and the 10 GbE network switch.
3. Connect an Ethernet cable between at least one 10 GbE data port on the right RAID
controller and the 10 GbE network switch.
If you have multiple Vess R2600 subsystems, host PCs or servers, repeatsteps 1 through 3
as required.
Notice: 10 GbE data ports on both RAID controller should be connected symmetrically so that NAS
failover can work properly.

SAS JBOD EXPANSION

This arrangement requires:
• One (1) or more Vess J2600 expansion subsystems
• One (1) SFF-8088 to SFF-8088 SAS cable for each Vess J2600 expansion subsystem

CONFIGURING THE DATA PATH

Vess R2600 subsystems have one per RAID controller (1) SFF-8088 SAS Expansion Port
connector.
To expand the data path:
1. Attach one end of a SFF-8088 to SFF-8088 SAS cable to the SAS Expansion Port on the
Vess R2600 subsystem.
See "Figure 22: SAS JBOD expansion data connections".
2. Attach the other end of the SFF-8088 to SFF-8088 SAS cable to the SAS IN Port on the
Vess J2600 subsystem.
If you have another Vess J2600 subsystem, attach one end of the SFF-8088 to SFF-8088
SAS cable to the SAS OUT Port of the first Vess J2600 to the SAS IN Port of the second
Vess J2600.
