Fibre Channel
VTrak models can have one or two RAID controllers. Each controller has an
Ethernet (RJ45) Management Port connector that enables you to monitor the
VTrak over your network using the WebPAM PROe Software. VTrak supports
HTTP, HTTPS, and Telnet protocols.
The VTrak E610f and E310f RAID controllers have two 4-Gb Fibre Channel (FC)
connections for the data ports. See Figure 11.
You can configure your VTrak for:
• Storage Area Network (SAN)
• Direct Attached Storage (DAS)
• JBOD Expansion using a SAS data connection

Configuring a Storage Area Network
A storage area network (SAN) requires:
• A Fibre Channel switch
• A Fibre Channel HBA card in each Host PC/Server
• A network switch
• A network interface card (NIC) in each Host PC/Server
To establish the data path:
Connect one of the Fibre Channel data ports on the VTrak controller to your Fibre
Channel switch.
