Chapter 4: Management with WebPAM PROe

Cautions

Turn off termination only when the VTrak is NOT the last device in the SCSI chain.

Internal termination only works on the “Out” SCSI connectors.

SCSI Target Information

1.Click the Subsystem icon in Tree View.

2.Click the Administrative Tools icon.

3.Click on the SCSI Management icon.

The Channel tab displays SCSI Channel Information:

4.Click on the Target tab.

The Target tab displays information about the 16 SCSI targets on each of the two SCSI channels:

Status – Enabled or Disabled

Negotiated Transfer Rate – Data Transfer Rate in MB/s

Bus Width – Narrow or Wide

A value of N/A under Transfer Rate or Bus Width appears when the Target is disabled. To enable a SCSI Target, see “SCSI Channel Settings” on page 62.

Storage Services

The Storage Services–LUN Map tab displays the Target IDs and LUNs assigned to each logical drive.

For SCSI, LUN Mapping is the process of applying a LUN Map so that each channel can access the logical drive (target).

View LUN Map

To view the current LUN Map:

1.Click the Subsystem icon in Tree View.

2.Click the Administrative Tools icon.

3.Click on the Storage Services icon.

4.Click the LUN Map tab in Management View.
