Connect Powervaults To A Core Physical Host Used As A Hybrid - Dell MD1400-16TB Setup Manual

Connect PowerVaults to a Core Physical Host Used as a Hybrid

You can connect one or more PowerVaults to a NetWitness Series 5 - R630 or Series 6 - R640
physical host Used as a hybrid (Log Hybrid or Network Hybrid).
Caution: You must attach a Concentrator PowerVault (that is, NW-PV-C-N (103 TB) or NW-
PV-D-N (155TB)) to port 0 and configure it first.
You can only add four PowerVaults per port for a total of eight PowerVaults per PERC H830
(Series 5) RAID controller or five per PERC H840 (Series 6) RAID controller.
Note: 1.) If you are attaching more then 3 PowerVaults to a single port you may received the
following Error message:
The total number of enclosures connected to connector 00, has
exceeded the maximum allowable limit of 3 enclosures. Please remove
the extra enclosure and then restart your system.
PERC profile settings. From factory, PERC profile is set to PD64. Setting the profile to PD240
corrects the issue. Profile PD240 is labeled as "default", however, this is not set from factory.
To set the PD Profile:
1. Enter the DELL PERC 10 Configuration Utility. See Navigating to Dell PERC 10
configuration utility.
2. Click Main Menu > Controller Management > Advanced Controller Properties > Profile
Management. Current profile and profile properties are displayed.
3. Change profile using the Choose Profile option.
4. Select Set Profile. Click Reboot.
2.) The PowerVault comes with two SAS cables. You only need one cable to connect the
PowerVault to the physical host. For NetWitness Series 5 physical hosts, use a cable with the
mini-SAS connector.
1. Ensure that the physical host is powered off.
2. Connect one end of the SAS cable to the left port of the RAID controller on the back of the
physical host.
3. Connect the other end of the SAS cable to the PowerVault unit.
When you connect the first PowerVault to the RAID controller, make sure that:
a. It is a Concentrator PowerVault (NW-PV-C-N 103TB or NW-PV-D-N 155TB). If you
attach additional PowerVaults, they do not need to be Concentrator PowerVaults.
b. You insert the cable into the Primary SAS port on the PowerVault as shown in the
following figures.
