This users’ manual is for all IN WIN JBOD systems including RJ-212, RJ-316 and RJ-424. It provides the information and instruction of frequent use function. Please refer to the table of contents to find the topics.
Software Management 5.3.1 System Management Structure IN WIN JBOD Systems support out-of-band Network Management feature enabling rich set of protocols and a flexible way for SAS Expander management anytime from anywhere.
Page 24
5.3.1.2 Without Ethernet Management In this configuration, when there is no Ethernet board, Users can only manage Primary or Secondary SAS Expanders by connecting serial console cable to Primary or Secondary SAS Expander module separately. And, in such configuration, Users won’t benefit from the rich set of network protocols management.
Page 25
Our systems support Static IP address or DHCP dynamic IP address as per users’ configuration. 5.3.1.4 Operation Modes IN WIN JBOD systems Ethernet Management provide a flexibility of modes for different scenarios by simply applying CLI commands to change.
Page 26
Whenever the Ethernet mgmt. board run in Normal mode. There are 2 sub-directories “Primary” and “Secondary” being seen and users can change directory to then for SAS Expander management. Discrete Mode: Ethernet Board to manage the SAS Expander it resides. There should be Ethernet board on any SAS Expander so it provides Network Management...
Page 27
In this mode, users can manage the SAS Expander the Ethernet board resides on. Users will need 2 Ethernet board to manage both SAS Expander through network. To check the operation mode, apply hidden command “save alone” in /mgmt.s# layer to view. To enable the Alone mode, simply apply a hidden command “save alone 1”...
5.3.2 Serial Port Management RS-232 port on Expander module provides a serial connection for users to manage JBOD system with terminal application such as Tera Term, Hyper Term…etc. To manage JBOD system through serial port, the settings below have to be properly configured to make it work.
Page 29
■ “version” command to display system hardware, firmware version information. ■ Type “<command>” for displaying the current setting of the specific command. ■ Type “<command> ?” for displaying specific command usage.
Page 30
■ “cd primary” to change directory for primary expander management. ■ “cd ..” to change directory back to upper layer. Usually used on changing from expander layer back to Ethernet layer. ■ “cd secondary” to change directory for secondary expander management.
Page 31
■ Please be sure to apply “save” command so the changes being made would be saved for use in next reboot as the start-config. Or, the changes would lose. 5.3.2.1.2 Scenario 2: Expander w/o Ethernet board When there is no Ethernet Board on top of the Primary Expander module users need to connect serial console to Primary or Secondary Expander for managing them separately.
■ Please note that the JBOD systems share the same Expander CLI commands no matter it is with or without Ethernet Management board inside unless otherwise specified. 5.3.3 Network Management An Ethernet Board is required to support Network management. The Ethernet board sits on top of the Primary Expander module to provide Network Management in various protocols such as Telnet, SSH, Web-GUI, SNMP.
Page 33
5.3.3.1 Telnet As an Ethernet Management board exists, rich set of network protocols are leveraged for flexible remote management. The supported protocols are Telnet, SSH, Web-GUI, SNMP and SMTP. ■ Telnet is default enabled in Ethernet service. It provides the same level of CLI commands as it is through RS-232 console port.
Page 35
5.3.3.3 Web UI ■ Web-GUI is the easiest way to manage JBOD system. It is default enabled on system. ■ Users can simply open Web Browser and giving the JBOD management IP address in URL address field to start accessing system. Login Page...
Page 36
IT people to manage systems, devices and equipment which are with SNMP support. ■ IN WIN JBOD system has SNMP agent inside the network management board supporting SNMP v1 and v2c. ■ Users need to configure the same read and write community string in JBOD system as the SNMP manager so the system can be managed by the SNMP Manager.
Page 37
■ An IN-WIN proprietary MIB which define system information is required to compile to SNMP Manager so the OID is able to be accessed properly. ■ SNMP Setting on System Users can change the setting through CLI and Web-GUI as necessary. Check via CLI Check via Web...
IP address, Read community string, Write community string to match the setting on system. And compile IN WIN JBOD MIB file to the manager is necessary. Below an example to browse the system MIB with a free tool.

■ To check SAS Expander versions only, users can change directory to Expander layer and type “sys rev” command to check Expander version information. 5.3.4.3 Web-GUI ■ Type system IP address on Web Browser URL address field to gain access to the system. After logging in, click “Version” button on the left pane to view the system version information on the right pane.
5.3.5 System Status System Status is to display the status of the system sensors including temperature, voltage, fan speed and Power Supply. There are 1 temperature sensor on each Expander, 2 system temperature sensors on Backplane, 5V and 12V voltage sensors on backplane, 4 Fan speed sensors on backplane and 2 Power Supply health sensors on PDB.

5.3.9 Firmware Upgrade Firmware upgrade function provides a way to update system firmware when necessary. There are 3 firmware for IN WIN JBOD system: 1. Ethernet Management Board Firmware (when there is Ethernet management board) 2. SAS Expander Board Firmware 3.
Page 50
D. Select the correct SAS Expander firmware file. E. Click on “Open” to start the selected firmware transferring to SAS Expander. F. Serial console would then start firmware transfer.
Page 51
G. After firmware transfer completed, reboot Expander to activate new firmware. 5.3.9.1.2 SAS Expander MFG CFG binary A. Similar to firmware upgrade, typing “mfgdl” on console. B. Type “y” to commit MFG file upgrade. C. Select xmodem as the file transfer protocol. D.
Page 52
G. Reset Expander to activate MFG CFG file by applying “reset” command or power recycle the system. 5.3.9.2 CLI (Telnet or SSH with Ethernet board) When there is an Ethernet Management board on the system users should upgrade Ethernet Board firmware, SAS Expander firmware and MFG CFG file through network instead of xmodem when using CLI commands.
Page 53
5.3.9.2.2 SAS Expander MFG CFG binary Same as above by using the Expander MFG CFG binary filename in command. 5.3.9.2.3 SAS Expander MFG CFG binary Same as above by using the Expander MFG CFG binary filename in command.
Page 54
5.3.9.3 Web-GUI (with Ethernet board) When there is an Ethernet Management board on the system users can upgrade system firmware through Web-GUI other than CLI in console or Telnet session. Upgrade system firmware through Web-GUI is much easier than other ways.
Page 55
5.3.9.3.3 Click “Tool” button on the left pane and scroll down to “Software Upgrade” session on the right pane. 5.3.9.3.4 Click “Choose File” button to select the firmware being upgraded from file browser and click “Open” to commit. The firmware can be an Ethernet board firmware, SAS Expander firmware or SAS Expander MFG CFG file.
Page 56

5.3.10 System Logs IN WIN JBOD systems support the capability to record system information to NVRAM for the purpose of activities history monitoring. The recorded information will retain until users issue clear command to erase from NVRAM or the NVRAM is full. Two categories of system information - Info and Fail would be recorded when happens.
Page 58
5.3.10.1.2 “nvlogs info” to display only the information category logs. 5.3.10.1.3 “nvlogs fail” to display only the Fail category logs. 5.3.10.1.4 “nvlogs clear” to erase all the logs from NVRAM.
Page 59
5.3.10.2 CLI (UART, Telnet, SSH with Ethernet Board) Users can check the system logs by connecting UART cable to Expander RS-232 port directly, Telnet or SSH to the system and change directory to Primary or Secondary (if existed) SAS Expander layer. 5.3.10.2.1 “nvlogs”...
