A-2 SANRAD V-Switch User Manual
Sample Introduction
This chapter provides working examples of standard procedures and
configurations you will use in owning and operating your V-Switch.
Each example uses one basic storage network consisting of:
ƒ One JBOD appliance with four disks of equal capacity (the actual
capacity is not important) connected to the V-Switch.
ƒ A PC running on the Windows™ 2000 OS platform.
ƒ Microsoft iSCSI initiator software installed on each host terminal.
ƒ Pre-assigned IP addresses for host and management stations.
Installing and Using the V-Switch 3000
You have just purchased a V-Switch 3000 and want to begin managing your
company’s small but growing storage network.
So far you have:
ƒ One JBOD appliance with four disks of equal capacity (the actual
capacity is not important) connected to the 3000.
ƒ One PC acting as both management station for the 3000 and network
host station for the storage network. The management station function
is connected to the 3000 via an RS232 cable. The network host function
is connected to the 3000 via a 1 Gbit Ethernet RJ45 cable.
ƒ An IP address assigned to the management/host station.
In this example, the network port IP address will be assigned 172.17.200.174
and the iSCSI portal for network port Eth1 will be set to 5003.
This example explains how to:
ƒ Use one terminal as both a management and host station.
ƒ Initialize and manage the 3000 through an RS232 connection and
terminal emulation program.
ƒ Create a RAID 10 volume and expose it.
ƒ Configure your iSCSI initiator for access to the exposed volume.
Once you have your components organized, you can begin.
