Polling Interval

Polling interval refers to the interval of time at which the Controller polls the Enclosure temperature sensors and reports their values.

To make polling interval settings:

1.Highlight Polling Interval and press the backspace key to erase the current value.

2.Type a new interval value in seconds.

15 to 255 seconds (4 minutes, 15 seconds)

3.Press Ctrl-A to save your settings.

Temperature Thresholds

Temperature thresholds are the temperature levels the Controller will report as a Warning or Critical. For most applications, the factory default settings are recommended.

To change temperature thresholds:

1.Highlight the Enclosure Temperature Warning threshold and press the backspace key to erase the current value.

2.Type a new interval value in degrees C.

Note the acceptable range of temperature values in the brackets.

3.Do the same action to set the other thresholds.

4.Press Ctrl-A to save your settings.

Batteries

This feature enables you monitor and recondition the subsystem battery or batteries.

1.From the Main Menu, highlight Subsystem Management and press Enter.

2.Highlight Enclosure Management and press Enter.

3.Highlight Batteries and press Enter.

4.Highlight the battery you want to monitor and press Enter.

5.Battery condition is expressed in the following items:

•Temperature Threshold Discharge – If battery exceeds this value while charging, replace the battery

•Battery Temperature – Should stay below charge and discharge thresholds

•Battery Voltage – Approximately 3900 mV is normal

•Battery Status – “FullyCharged” is normal. If it is says “Malfunction”, replace the battery

Promise Technology has established itself as a strong player in the storage solutions market, particularly with its VTrak series of storage systems. Among the notable products in this lineup are the VTrak M310P and M210P models, designed to deliver efficiency, scalability, and high performance for businesses of all sizes.

The Promise VTrak M310P is a high-performance storage solution that emphasizes speed and versatility. This model supports both SAS and SATA drives, enabling enterprises to tailor their storage needs based on workload requirements. It is built with an advanced RAID engine that provides multiple RAID levels, including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60, ensuring data redundancy and protection against drive failures. The M310P can accommodate up to 96TB of raw storage when fully populated, catering to environments that require large amounts of data retention and quick access times.

Key features of the VTrak M310P include the intuitive management interface, which simplifies storage provisioning and monitoring. This model also incorporates Promise's innovative "HyperRAID" technology, which enhances performance by optimizing I/O operations and providing real-time analytics and reporting. Additionally, the M310P supports a variety of host connection interfaces, including iSCSI, Fibre Channel, and InfiniBand, allowing seamless integration into existing infrastructure.

On the other hand, the VTrak M210P is tailored for a slightly different audience, focusing on small to medium-sized businesses that require reliable and cost-effective storage solutions. The M210P retains several high-end features found in its bigger counterpart while offering a more budget-friendly option. This model also supports a mix of SAS and SATA drives and includes RAID capabilities similar to the M310P for data protection.

The M210P provides a robust set of management tools designed for ease of use, including automated alerts and comprehensive reporting capabilities. Its compact design and reliable performance make it ideal for remote office locations or data centers where space is a premium. Furthermore, the model incorporates advanced power management features to reduce energy consumption without compromising performance.

Both the M310P and M210P are built with scalability in mind, allowing businesses to easily expand their storage capacity as data needs grow. With a focus on durability, performance, and advanced technology, Promise Technology’s VTrak systems are well-positioned to meet the evolving demands of modern data storage. Whether for large enterprises or smaller organizations, these products offer solutions that enhance productivity and ensure data integrity.
