Task 4: Making Data and Management Connections
Configuring a Data Path
To establish the data path:
1.
Make the FC or iSCSI data connections as described in the ASUS Storage
DS300F, DS300I User Manual.
2.
Connect the SAS Expansion port of the DS300F or DS300I subsystem to the
SAS IN port on the I/O module of the first DS300j unit.
See page 10, Figure 7.
3.
Connect the SAS OUT port on the I/O module of the first DS300j unit to the
SAS IN port on the I/O module of the second DS300j unit.
4.
Connect the remaining DS300j units in the same manner.
All SAS ports have SFF-8088 connectors.
Configuring a Management Path
To establish the management path, make the FC or iSCSI management
connections as described in the ASUS Storage DS300F, DS300I User Manual.
The RAID controller in the ASUS Storage DS300F or DS300I subsystem also
monitors and manages the DS300j units. No additional connections are required
for ASUS Storage Management or the CLU.
Direct Management of ASUS Storage
A management connection directly to the ASUS Storage DS300j unit has a serial
connection to the Host PC. See "Chapter 3: Management" in the ASUS Storage
