Summary

Vtrak

Configure Promise VTrak RAIDs for best performance using the guidelines in this article. Although Promise VTrak RAIDs may be manually configured, it is recommended that they be configured using the scripts described in this article. Both script and manual configuration steps are provided below.
Note: Xsan-specific configuration scripts configure Revertible Spare Drives. In the event that a drive is replaced, data will be migrated from the Spare Drive to the replacement drive. Performance may be impacted for the duration of the migration procedure.

Configure via script

A. Create the script file
Determine which script you should use from the following list, then click the linked article to get the text of the script. Follow the instructions in the linked article to save the script, then return to this article.

  • RAID Controller: Xsan (Metadata and Data)
    Configures a RAID Controller that will used as an Xsan volume. Configures arrays to be used as a metadata LUN and two data LUNs. Each Xsan volume must contain one metadata LUN.
  • RAID Controller: Xsan (Data Only)
    Configures a RAID Controller that will used as an Xsan volume. Configures arrays to be used as two data LUNs and one Audio/Scratch LUN“. Use to configure additional data LUNs to an Xsan volume that already has a metadata LUN.
  • RAID Controllers and SAS-connected Expansion Chassis: Xsan (Metadata and Data)
    Configures a RAID Controller and SAS-connected Expansion Chassis that will used as an Xsan volume. Configures arrays to be used as a metadata LUN, four data LUNs and one Audio/Scratch LUN. Each Xsan volume must contain one metadata LUN.
  • RAID Controllers and SAS-connected Expansion Chassis: Xsan (Data Only)
    Configures a RAID Controller and SAS-connected Expansion Chassis that will used as an Xsan volume. Configures arrays to be used as as four data LUNs and two Audio/Scratch LUNs. Use to configure additional data LUNs to an Xsan volume that already has a metadata LUN.
  • RAID Controllers: Direct Attached
    Configures a RAID Controller that will be formatted as a local filesystem such as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) to be accessed by a single computer.
  • RAID Controllers and SAS-connected Expansion Chassis: Direct Attached
    Configures a RAID Controller and SAS-connected Expansion Chassis that will be formatted as a local filesystem such as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) to be accessed by a single computer.

  1. Connect to the VTrak RAID via the WebPAM PROe administration tool. If you are not certain what IP Address is assigned to the Promise RAID, refer to the Product Manual. If an alert appears in your Web browser, see this article.
  2. Authenticate when prompted. If you are not certain what administrator name and password is assigned to the Promise RAID, refer to the Product Manual.

Note: The scripts assume that there are no existing Disk Arrays or Spare Drives configured on the VTrak RAID. Before importing a script, you should delete all existing Disk Array or Spare Drive configurations. Important: Deleting existing Disk Arrays will destroy all existing data on the Disk Array. Ensure that all data has been backed up to an alternate storage device before proceeeding.

To delete existing Disk Arrays

  1. Select Disk Arrays.
  2. Click the Delete tab.
  3. Click (check) the first checkbox under Delete Disk Arrays, which will auto-select all existing arrays in the list.
  4. Click Submit and then enter CONFIRM in the dialog box.

To delete existing Spare Drives

  1. Select Spare Drives.
  2. Click the Delete tab.
  3. Click (check) the first checkbox under Delete Spare Drives, which will auto-select all existing arrays in the list.
  4. Click Submit and then enter CONFIRM in the dialog box

C. Import the configuration script

This completes the Disk Array and Spare Drive configuration.

Manual configuration

The following are instructions for manually configuring Promise VTrak RAIDs for best performance. You do not need to follow these steps if you used the configuration script method described above.
1. Connect to the VTrak RAID via the WebPAM PROe administration tool. If you are not certain what IP Address is assigned to the Promise RAID, refer to the Product Manual. If an alert appears in your Web browser, see this article.
2. Authenticate when prompted. If you are not certain what administrator name and password is assigned to the Promise RAID, refer to the Product Manual.

Hello Paradeshi:


It is possible to have multiple computers accessing the VTrak at the same time. If you have a dual port card in your Mac, you will need to connect each computer to both controllers in the back of the VTrak. Each controller will have 4 fiber channel ports. This should allow for both computers to see the volume.

NOTE: The VTrak does not control which computer has read and write access to the volume. If both computers have direct access to the volume, it will cause corruption. You will need SAN software to manage write access to the volume to prevent this. A couple of examples for SAN Software are XSan or SANmp.

The other route you can go is to have a volume isolated to each server. This will prevent the computers from overwriting the same areas of data that can cause the corruption.
