1.1
Basic Installation Steps
1. Attach the SCSI cable from the DVR to the
DVAS.
If only one DVR is connected to the DVAS, ensure
the cable is connected to channel 0. Refer to
SECTION 4.0 Product Overview.
2. Attach the power cord(s) to the Disk Array and
apply power to the unit.
If you hear an audible alarm, the DVAS unit does not
have a RAID group configured or no disks are present.
3. Wait 1 minute and apply power to the DVR
unit.
4. Configure the DVR for archiving (see DVR
instruction manual).
5. The DVAS unit is pre-configured depending
upon the model purchased.
For your convenience, the DVAS disk arrays are
shipped with drives pre-configured for RAID.

Number of DVR's Connected
1 DVR (Channel 0)
1 DVR (Channel 0)
2 DVR's (Channel 0 + Channel 1)
These configurations will satisfy most applications. If
these settings do not satisfy your application, or if you
wish to utilize additional features, then you will need to
set up the network connection and access the GUI. See
SECTION 1.2
Most common reasons to utilize the GUI interface:
•
Add a Hot Spare.
•
Add Drive(s) (if storage is expanded, the whole
RAID must be reconstructed).
•
Change the allocation of storage (only
applicable if two DVRs are connected to a
single DVAS).
•
Monitor the DVAS system.
•
Use the email alert feature (warnings and error
message can be emailed to a specified address).
•
Attaching two DVRs to a DVAS0416 or a
DVAS0816 unit (see Quick Configuration Page).
•
Attaching only one DVR to a DVAS1416 (see
Quick Configuration page 10).
1.2
Setting up the Network Connection
To use the web based GUI, perform the following steps:
1. Attach a network cable from the DVAS's
Ethernet port to a network. You can also use
a simple cross-over cable from a PC to the
DVAS's Ethernet port.
2. Access any computer on the network.
If you did not use a cross over cable and connected the
unit to a network, your network's subnet mask may not
allow you to access this IP address without some
reconfiguration. To access the DVAS series disk array
simply access a shell, or DOS prompt on your host
computer, and enter the following command.
Windows:
route add 10.11.12.13
mask 255.255.255.255
Linux:
/sbin/route add
10.11.12.13/32 gw
Solaris:
route add 10.11.12.13
mask 255.255.255.255
Allocation of Storage
100% to Host Port 0
100% to Host Port 0
50% to Host Port 0 50%, to Host Port 1
