Why are all the disk drives in my JBOD marked Dead?
This condition happens when the JBOD expansion subsystem is
disconnected from the RAID subsystem, powered off while the RAID
subsystem is running, or powered on after the RAID subsystem was
powered on. Use the force online function to restore the disk drives. See
“Clearing a Stale or a PFA Condition” on page 120 or page 178.
See “Making Webserver Settings” on “Making Webserver Settings” on
page 103 or page 222.
With some RAID subsystems, I used a server’s IP address to log in. Why is
VTrak E-Class different?
VTrak E-Class has the server software embedded. With the E-Class, you
point your browser directly to the VTrak subsystem. WebPAM PROe is pre-
installed on the VTrak and launches automatically.
