return of equipment, each party shall pay one-way shipping costs.
SANRAD shall be released from all obligations under its warranty in the
event that the V-Switch has been subjected to misuse, neglect, accident or
improper installation, or if repairs or modifications were made by persons
other than SANRAD's own authorized service personnel, unless such
repairs by others were made with the written consent of SANRAD.

Regulatory Information
FCC-15 User Information
The V-Switch has been tested and found to comply with the limits of the
Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
when the V Switch is operated in a commercial environment. The V Switch
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to the radio communications. Operation of the V Switch in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user
will be required to correct the interference at the user’s own expense.
Warning per EN 55022
The V-Switch is a Class A product. In a domestic environment, this product
may cause radio interference, in which case the user may be required to
take adequate measures.
SPCLI3.1.1205 SANRAD V-Switch CLI User Manual
Safety Notices
Read and understand the following notices before installing the V-Switch.
The power plug must be accessible at all times because it serves as the main
disconnecting vehicle.
Unplug the V-Switch power cord before performing maintenance procedures.
The V-Switch contains two power supply units. To disconnect the V-Switch
completely, all power supply cords must be unplugged.
Do not touch the power supplies when their power cords are connected. Line
voltages are present within the power supplies when their cords are connected.
The safety cover is an integral part of this product. Do not operate the unit without
the safety cover firmly in place. Operating the unit without the cover in place will
invalidate the safety approvals and pose a risk of fire and electrical hazards.
Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent
exposure to hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain
electromagnetic interference (EMI) shields that might disrupt other equipment; and
they direct flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system
unless all cards and faceplates are in place.
This product relies on the building’s wiring for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection.
Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC, 15a U.S. (240 VAC, 10A
international) is used on the phase conductors (all current-carrying conductors).
The V-Switch is intended to be grounded. Ensure that the V-Switch is connected to
earth ground during normal use.
When installing the V-Switch, the ground connection must always be connected first
and disconnected last.
There is a danger of explosion if the motherboard battery is replaced incorrectly.
Replace the battery with the same or an equivalent type as recommended by the
manufacturer. Dispose of the used battery according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.

Technical
Assistance
The V-Switch is a storage virtualization and management solution
that allows you to pool physical storage resources and re-partition
the total storage capacity into virtual volumes that best meet your
storage needs.
The V-Switch is a high performance appliance that operates in the
data-path of a storage network between the hosts and storage subsystem. It provides a single, easy-to-use connectivity and
management platform for administration of small to Enterprise
class storage resources.
The V-Switch enables a network administrator to create and
manage virtual storage volumes using SANRAD’s Volume
Manager. The Volume Manager supports the creation and
combination of concatenated, striped (RAID 0) and mirrored
(RAID 1) volumes.
V-Switch
1
The Volume Manager provides for secure exposure of virtual
volumes to hosts using the standards-based iSCSI TCP/IP-based
protocol.
Chapter 1: V-Switch 1-1
V-Switch Overview
The V-Switch provides protocol bridging, routing, switching and volume
management in a single platform.
Figure 1-1, details a standard V-Switch network topology. Two V-Switches sit
in the center of the network, providing load balancing and failover ability.
Above the V-Switches are IP clouds connecting the network(s) management
and host stations. The hosts can connect to the V-Switch directly or via an IP
cloud. An iSCSI initiator agent in the host allows access to virtual volumes in
the V Switch.
Below the V-Switches are the network storage devices, which include both
JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks) and RAID subsystems. The V-Switch provides
the ability to connect via both SCSI and FC protocols, including FC clouds,
increasing the number of potential attached storage devices.
The V-Switch can be used in two modes:
iSCSI bridging switch
Storage virtualization switch
End-to-end Fibre Channel protocol networks are expensive to implement. As
an iSCSI bridging switch, the V-Switch acts as a protocol bridge between
storage devices on a Fibre Channel network and hosts on a standard IP
network.
The V-Switch also acts as a protocol bridge between SCSI storage devices and
hosts on a standard IP network.
Simple exposure of each storage device as a single LUN is an inefficient use of
storage resources. As a storage virtualization switch, the V-Switch enables
barrier-independent storage pooling with precise LUN carving of new virtual
volumes which support mirroring and striping with managed exposure.

Manual Organization
This manual is designed to guide you step-by-step through V-Switch
installation, configuration, virtualization, maintenance and troubleshooting.
The chapters are set up as follows:
Table 1-1: Manual Chapter Organization
Chapter Title Description
Chapter 2 “Installing the V-Switch 2000” Explains the V-Switch2000 chassis, cabling
connections and power up procedures.
Chapter 3 “Installing the V-Switch 3000” Explains the V-Switch 3000 chassis, cabling
connections and power up procedures.
Chapter 4 “V-Switch Configuration” Describes how to configure the V-Switch
management parameters as well as the
network and storage ports.

1-4 SANRAD V-Switch CLI User Manual
CLI - Command Line Interface
The Command Line Interface (CLI) is used to implement all V-Switch
management functions, including switching, virtualization and security.
The CLI is available via:
Console port via an RS232 connection.
10/100 Ethernet Management port via a Telnet session
(V-Switch 3000 only).
1 Gb Ethernet port Eth1 via a Telnet session.
All CLI commands are case sensitive and must be entered in lower case.
Inputted data can include upper case letters but must always subsequently be
entered in the same case.
The CLI command prompt is >.
All CLI commands in this manual are listed first with the basic command
followed by a table of command switches; their explanations; status (mandatory
or optional) and an example for each command switch, as shown in Table 1-2.
