TASK 4: MANAGEMENT CONNECTIONS
This section describes how to establish a management connection the Vess R2600 subsystem. There are two methods to establish a
management connection to the Vess R2600. The Vess J2600 system is managed through a Vess R2600 subsystem that is attached via
the SAS expansion link.
Important
For a list of supported FC HBAs, Switches and SFPs, download the latest compatibility list from the PROMISE
support
website: http://www.promise.com/support/
Vess R2600 does not support cascading of multiple RAID subsystems. Cascading is planned for a future release.
MANAGEMENT PATH NETWORK (ETHERNET) CONNECTION
The Vess R2600 controller has one (1) Ethernet RJ-45 Management Port connector. See “Figure 15: Vess R2600fi controller data and
management ports”.
To establish the management path:
1. Attach one end of an Ethernet cable to the network connector or standard NIC in the Host PC.
Attach the other end of the Ethernet cable to one of the ports on the standard network switch.
2. Attach one end of an Ethernet cable to one of the ports on the standard net- work switch.
Attach the other end of the Ethernet cable to the Management Port on the Vess R2600 subsystem.
If you have multiple Vess R2600 subsystems, Host PCs or Servers, repeat steps 1 and 2 as required.

11
Figure 15: Vess R2600fi controller data and management ports
Figure 16: Vess J2600s controller management and data ports
MANAGEMENT PATH SERIAL CONNECTION
VessRAID has a Command Line Interface (CLI) to manage all of its functions. A subset of the CLI is the Command Line Utility (CLU), a
user-level interface that manages your Vess R2600 via your PC’s terminal emulation program, such as Microsoft HyperTerminal.
Serial communication enables the terminal emulation application on your host PC or server to access the Vess R2600 Command Line
Interface (CLI) to set up a network connection. The Vess R2600 package includes one RJ11-to-DB9 serial data cable for each controller.
Figure 17: Serial connector
To set up a serial cable connection:
1. Attach the RJ11 end of the serial data cable to the RJ11 serial connector on one of the RAID controllers.
2. Attach the DB9 end of the serial data cable to a serial port on the host PC or server.

SAS JBOD EXPANSION
This arrangement requires:
• One (1) or more Vess J2600 expansion subsystems
• One (1) SFF-8088 to SFF-8088 SAS cable for each Vess J2600 expansion subsystem
CONFIGURING THE DATA PATH
VessRAID subsystems have one per RAID controller (1) SFF-8088 SAS Expansion Port connector.
To expand the data path:
1. Attach one end of a SFF-8088 to SFF-8088 SAS cable to the SAS Expansion Port on the Vess R2600 subsystem.
See “Figure 20: SAS JBOD expansion data connections”.
2. Attach the other end of the SFF-8088 to SFF-8088 SAS cable to the SAS IN Port on the Vess J2600 subsystem.
If you have another Vess J2600 subsystem, attach one end of the SFF-8088 to SFF-8088 SAS cable to the SAS OUT Port of
the first Vess J2600 to the SAS IN Port of the second Vess J2600.
Important
Vess J2600 subsystems have one SAS IN port and one SAS OUT port. If you connect them incorrectly, the Vess
R2600 does not recognize the Vess J2600 subsystems.
For more information, see the Vess J2600 Product Manual on the CD that came with the Vess J2600 subsystem.
CONFIGURING A MANAGEMENT PATH
The Vess R2600 controller manages the Vess J2600 subsystems. No additional management connections are required for JBOD
expansion.
