WebPAM PROe connection was working OK. But later on, it timed out. What
do I do now?
The network condition can time-out for several reasons. When an open
connection has no action for a specific amount of time (the Administrator can
change it), the connection times-out automatically for security reasons.
When you attempt to use WebPAM, it returns to the login screen. Enter your
user name and password and click Login, and WebPAM will establish a new
connection. See “Making Web Server Settings” on page 92.
I can access the VessRAID over my company’s intranet. But I can’t access it
from an outside Internet connection. How do I make the Internet connection
work?
This condition is not related to VessRAID, but is due to your firewall and
network connection protocol. Contact your MIS Administrator.
With some Promise RAID subsystems, I used the Server’s IP address in
WebPAM PRO to connect with the RAID subsystem. Why is this VessRAID
different?
VessRAID has the server software embedded. With VessRAID, you point
your browser directly to the VessRAID rather than a server. Also, with
VessRAID, you do not have to create a subsystem because the subsystem
already exists.
Why can a RAID 1 logical drive on VessRAID consist of only two disk
drives?
On VessRAID, RAID 1 logical drives work in mirrored physical drive pairs.
You could create up to eight RAID 1 logical drives. Or you can create a
single RAID 10 logical drive with data mirroring and up to 16 physical drives.
If you have an odd number of drives but still want data mirroring, use RAID
1E.
See “Installing Disk Drives” on page 17 and “Introduction to RAID” on
page 237 for more information on the number of physical drives you can use
for each RAID level.
Are logical drives on VessRAID limited to 2 TB?
No. But verify that your operating system supports logical drives over 2 TB.
Also, for the operating system to recognize the full capacity of logical drives
over 2 TB, you must specify a sector size of 1 KB or larger when you create
the logical drive. See “Choosing Sector Size” on page 253 or more
information.
Do I have to install WebPAM PROe on my network server?
No. Use the WebPAM PROe embedded with the VessRAID.
