VTrak Quick Start Guide
Why does VTrak come with a Command Line Utility?
First, to assign your VTrak an IP address in order for the WebPAM PRO
management software to connect to it. Second, in the event of a network
failure, you can still access the VTrak and the data stored on it.
I created a Host on WebPAM PRO but when I click on it, nothing happens.
What is the problem?
There is a broken network connection between your PC and the VTrak, or
the VTrak is powered off. Locate and fix the connection or power on the
VTrak, as required.
I can access the VTrak 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 VTrak, but is due to your firewall and network
connection protocol. Contact your MIS Administrator.
With other Promise products, such as UltraTrak, I used the Host PC's IP
address in WebPAM PRO to connect with the RAID subsystem. Why is
VTrak different?
UltraTrak uses In-Band SCSI technology to connect with the Host PC. VTrak
connects to the Host PC through a network connection. Therefore, it requires
its own IP address. VTrak's SCSI connection is used only to move data.
Why can a RAID 1 logical drive on VTrak consist of only two disk drives?
On VTrak, RAID 1 logical drives work in matched pairs. But you are not
limited to just one RAID 1 logical drive. VTrak supports up to 7 RAID 1 logical
drives, using up to 14 disk drives.
See the VTrak User Manual for more information on the number of disk
drives you can use for each RAID level.
Are virtual drives on VTrak limited to 2.199 terabytes?
No. The 2.199 TB logical drive size limit does not apply to VTrak.
The CLU, WebPAM PRO and VTrak documentation use the term "logical
drive" where earlier Promise products use the term "array." Why did this
change happen?
Technically, logical drive is the correct term. Array usually refers to a group of
disk drives set aside for use in creating a RAID logical drive. Promise
adjusted its use of terms to more closely match the industry.
