Chapter 4 Connecting Your Array

4-29

Note –

Alternatively, you can use the Solaris operating system

tip

command or a

terminal emulation program to access the firmware application program. See
“Configuring a Host COM Port to Connect to a RAID Array” on page 4-26
for more
information.

4. Press Ctrl-L to refresh the screen and view the Main Menu.

Note –

If you reset the controller during a

telnet

session, you are disconnected from

the RAID array. Use the

telnet

command to login to the array again.

To connect the SANscape program (on a host server) to a RAID array that has an IP
address, refer to the out-of-band management instructions in the SANscape User’s
Guide.
The same document’s “Email and SNMP” appendix provides information about
configuring SANscape software to use Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
traps and Management Information Bases (MIBs) to provide information to other out-
of-band enterprise management software. The “Monitoring the Array” chapter explains
the use of SANscape agents to redirect event messages into host system logs.

You can also enable the controller firmware to send event messages using SNMP.
Refer to the “Configuration Parameters” chapter in the SANnet II Family RAID
Firmware User's Guide
for more information.

Scaling a SANnet II 200 Fibre Channel Array
Into a High-Capacity Configuration

Note –

High-capacity SANnet II 200 FC and SATA array configurations are

supported, with certain limitations. A SANnet II 200 FC array with more than two
expansion units is a high-capacity configuration. A SANnet II 200 SATA array with
one expansion unit is a high-capacity configuration.

SANnet II 200 FC arrays typically allow the connection of up to two expansion units
to support a maximum of 36 disks. However, you can create larger configurations that
support as many as eight expansion units and up to 108 disks if you use the guidelines
in this section. You can also create larger configurations of SANnet II 200 SATA
arrays that support from one to five expansion units and up to 72 disks.
