This Guide describes how to connect an Intel
(Modular Server) to a Promise* VTrak E610s or E310s subsystem (VTrak) to expand the
Modular Server's data capacity. These instructions are limited to making the Modular
Server-to-VTrak connection and related settings.
For information about setting up your VTrak, see the printed VTrak Quick Start Guide or
the VTrak Product Manual on the software CD that came with your subsystem.
For information about setting up your Modular Server, see the Intel
System MFSYS25 Quick Start User's Guide, the Intel
User Guide, and other related documents.
IT managers want the ability to assign LUNs to individual servers. On the Modular
Server, you can do that easily in the Intel
the World Wide Number (WWN) of each Compute Module (blade server). The WWN is
used for the SAS initiator name, and you need the initiator name to associate a LUN with
a compute module. But the GUI was not designed to work with external storage devices
such as VTrak. As a result, you must manually associate a LUN on VTrak with a compute
module.
The tasks in this document enable you to identify the WWN of each compute module in
the Modular Server and associate a LUN with the compute module using Promise*
WebPAM PROe, the GUI that runs on VTrak.
