how to install Promise VTrak D5800xD SAN/NAS Storage System
- Plan your deployment by confirming rack space, power availability, cooling, and network connectivity for both SAN and NAS access paths.
- Physically install the storage appliance in a suitable rack, connect redundant power supplies, and ensure proper grounding and airflow.
- Connect Fibre Channel and iSCSI SAN ports to your fabric with appropriate zoning, and attach NAS network interfaces to the same or separate management network as required.
- Power on the system and perform the initial configuration via the integrated management interface. Update firmware if prompted to ensure you have the latest features and security updates.
- Create storage pools and virtual disks, then allocate LUNs for block storage and configure NFS/SMB shares for file access according to your environment.
- Enable data protection features such as snapshots, cloning, and replication, and configure automated tiering to optimize performance and cost.
- Integrate the VTrak D5800xD with your virtualization platform (e.g., VMware vSphere, Hyper-V, or KVM) by presenting LUNs to hosts and mounting NAS shares as needed.
- Set up ongoing monitoring, alerts, and capacity planning. Establish routine backup and DR processes and validate recovery procedures to ensure readiness.
