sAn And fIle system setup
Now that the VTrak A-Class subsystem is installed and connected, it is time to setup the SAN clients and le
system used by the clients on the SAN. In order to automatically detect the SAN client workstations it is necessary
to install the le system client application on any Linux, Mac OS X, or Windows workstations. Then you can use
the browser-based management GUI and the Setup Wizards to set up the SAN and File System.
The rst time that you log in to the A-Class you will be guided by a series of wizards through all of the tasks
necessary to set up the SAN and File System. This chapter describes the Setup Wizards in greater detail that
the A-Class Quick Start Guide (QSG) and includes the installation and usage of the VTrakFS Client application
software. It also includes information on A-Class product registration, which is not required to start using the SAN,
but is strongly recommended to improve your experience.
The A-Class Setup Wizards are presented to you sequentially the rst time you log in to the management GUI,
but you can opt to skip them and access them at any time from the tool menus.
The VTrak A-Class Setup Wizards include the following:
• License Activation Wizard - Use this to register the VTrak and activate the license.
• SAN Setup Wizard - Use this to add client computers and other VTrak storage subsystems and
associated JBOD enclosures that will make up the SAN
• File System Setup Wizard - Use this to congure one or more SAN le systems use for client storage.
Congure the SAN FS or multiple SAN FS optimized for the applications that will use them.
Note
When you login for the rst time, you are presented with the Network
Settings menu. Use this to enter new settings for the Virtual Management
Port in order to allow Internet access for the VTrak. This is necessary if you
plan to automatically activate the product license.
