Task 7: Setting Up the CLI Connection

The VTrak subsystem has a Command Line Interface (CLI) to manage all of its functions, including customization. Access the CLI via your PC’s terminal VT100 or ANSI emulation program, such as Microsoft HyperTerminal.

The VTrak must be running and the RJ11-to-DB9 serial data cable connected to the primary I/O module and the Host PC or Server’s serial port. See page 17.

To set up the CLI connection:

1. Change your terminal emulation program settings to agree with the following:

• Bits per second: 115200

• Data bits: 8

• Parity: None

• Stop bits: 1

• Flow control: none

2. Start your PC’s terminal emulation program.

3. Press Enter once to launch the CLI. The cli> prompt on your screen indicates that you have a connection and the

CLI is ready to accept commands.

CLI Command Set

The CLI uses the following set of commands:

enclosure – Displays enclosure settings and component information. factorydefaults – Restores the factory default settings to the enclosure. help – Use alone to see the list of commands. Use with a command to see a list

of options. Examples: enclosure help and help enclosure. link – Displays the current status of the Phys (links) and the error counter. route – Displays table routing information (downstream connections). uptime – Displays the number of days, hours, minutes and seconds since the

firmware was loaded (since the VTrak was started or restarted). ? – Use alone to see the list of commands. Use with a command to see a list of

options. Example: enclosure -?. Commands and options are not case-sensitive. In the CLI screens:

• The SAS IN port (circle icon) is called CN#1

• The SAS OUT port (diamond icon) is called CN#2

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of disk drives can I use with VTrak?

VTrak supports 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch SAS and SATA disk drives. See the Compatibility List on the Promise Website for a list of qualified disk drives.

If your VTrak subsystem has two I/O modules, you must install an AAMUX adapter on each of your SA T A drives. Obt ain AAMUX adapters from Promise Technology, Inc.

How do I install a 2.5-inch drive into a 3.5-inch drive carrier?

To install your 2.5-inch disk drives into VTrak’s drive carriers, you must first attach a mounting bracket to each of your drives. See page 11. Never install the drives by inserting screws through the bottom of the drive carrier.

Obtain mounting brackets and screws from Promise Technology, Inc.

How can I tell when the VTrak has fully booted?

When the VTrak unit is fully booted up, the Power and FRU LEDs will light up green. The heartbeat LED blinks green once every 4 seconds if one I/O module is installed or once every 2 seconds if two I/O modules are installed.

How can I tell my CLI connection is to the primary default I/O module?

After you establish the CLI connection, type Enclosure and press Enter . Look at the top of the display for an item called I/O Module Role.

• If the Role is Primary, you are connected to the default primary I/O

module.

• If the Role is Secondary, you are connected to the default secondary

I/O module.

What happens if a disk drive fails?

Depending on the nature of the failure, the failed drive the drive might not appear in the CLI, or the failed drive might appear with an error, when you run the enclosure command or the link command. See the VTrak J830s, J630s Product Manual on the CD for more information.

Can I hot-swap a failed drive with a new one?

Yes. Disk drives are hot-swappable on the J830s and J630s units.

Can the VTrak run using just one power supply?

Yes, it is possible to run the VTrak unit on a single power supply. However, leaving one power supply off means there is no redundancy if the remaining power supply fails. And it reduces air flow through the enclosure, which can contribute to overheating. Always switch on both power supplies.

Schritt 3: Installation der Festplatten

Sie können das VTrak-Gehäuse mit SAS- oder SATA-Festplatten bestücken. In der Kompatibilitätsliste auf der Promise-Website finden Sie eine Liste mit geeigneten Festplatten.

Für eine optimale Leistung installieren Sie Festplatten desselben Modells und derselben Kapazität.

Nummerierung der Laufwerksteckplätze

Sie können jede geeignete Festplatte in einen beliebigen Steckplatz des Gehäuses einbauen. Die Diagramme unten zeigen die Nummerierung der VTrakLaufwerksteckplätze.

Abbildung 6. VTrak J630s – Nummerierung der Laufwerksteckplätze

Installieren Sie alle Festplatten-Träger in das VTrak-Gehäuse, selbst wenn Sie nicht alle Träger mit Festplatten bestücken.

3,5-Zoll-Festplatten installieren

Wichtig

• Wenn Ihr VTrak über zwei E/A-Module verfügt und Sie SATAFestplatten installieren, benötigen Sie einen AAMUX-Adapter, damit beide Module auf die SA TA-Festplatte zugreifen können. Die AAMUX-Adapter sind bei Promise Technology, Inc erhältlich.

• Durch eine ordnungsgemäße Installation ist eine adäquate Erdung gewährleistet. Außerdem wird die Vibration auf ein Minimum reduziert. Befestigen Sie die Festplatten stets mit allen vier Schrauben.

So installieren Sie 3,5-Zoll-Festplatten:

1. Entfernen Sie einen Festplattenträger.

2. Legen Sie das Laufwerk vorsichtig in den Festplattenträger auf der Vorderseite, sodass die seitlich angebrachten Schraubenlöcher bündig übereinander liegen.

Wenn Sie AAMUX-Adapter und SATA-Festplatten installieren: Verbinden Sie zunächst den Adapter mit der Festplatte. Installieren Sie anschließend die Befestigungsschrauben. Siehe Seite 30, Abbildung 7.

3. Führen Sie die Schrauben durch die Löcher an der Seite des Festplattenträgers und in die Festplatte ein. Siehe Seite 30, Abbildungen 7 und 8.

• Installieren Sie bei der Festplatte nur die Schrauben, die im

Lieferumfang des VTrak enthalten waren.

• Installieren Sie beim Adapter nur die Schrauben, die im Lieferumfang

des Adapters enthalten waren.

• Verwenden Sie vier Schrauben pro Festplatte.

• Installieren Sie zwei Schrauben pro Adapter.

• Drehen Sie jede Schraube fest. Gehen Sie dabei behutsam vor, um ein

Überdrehen der Schrauben zu vermeiden.

4. Installieren Sie die Festplattenträger wieder in das VTrak-Gehäuse.

5. Wiederholen Sie die Schritte 2 bis 4, bis alle Festplatten eingebaut sind.
