USED Promise Technology Vess R2600ti NO HDD

The Promise Technology Vess R2600ti is a 3U16-bay dual-controller IP SAN/NAS storage system (48TB-128TB+ options) featuring 10GbE connectivity, SAS/SATA drive support, and WebPAM PROe management. Initial setup involves serial connection (RJ11-to-DB9), static IP configuration, disk pool creation, and volume mapping via WebPAM GUI

Core System Specifications

• Form Factor: 3U rackmount enclosure with 16 hot-swappable 3.5" drive bays.
• Controller Configurations: Available in single (tiS) or dual (tiD) controller models.
• Performance Capacity: In rich media environments, it can support up to 22 ProRes 422 HQ streams (1080p @ 29.97fps) or 6 streams of 4K ProRes 4444 (3840x2160 @ 23.98fps).
• Hardware Compatibility: Supports 6Gb/s SAS and SATA hard drives simultaneously.

Storage and Scalability

• Expansion: Scalable up to 112 hard disk drives by cascading up to six Vess J2000 series JBOD units.
• RAID Support: Extensive levels including RAID 0, 1, 1E, 3, 5, 6, 10 (0+1), 30, 50, and 60.
• Memory:
• Standard: 2GB per controller (expandable up to 16GB).
• PRO Model: Often comes standard with 16GB memory per controller.

Connectivity and Protocols

• Host Interfaces (per controller):
• 2x 10Gb iSCSI (BASE-T) ports.
• 4x 1Gb iSCSI ports.
• One external SAS port (SFF-8088) for JBOD expansion.
• Protocols: Supports unified block and file-level access via iSCSI, NFS, CIFS/SMB, AFP, FTP, and WebDAV.

Reliability and Power

• Power Supply: Triple redundant 250W power supply units (N+1 design, total 500W output) with 80PLUS certification.
• Cooling: Two hot-swappable redundant cooling fans.
• Data Protection: Includes Predictive Data Migration (PDM), PerfectRebuild for efficient recovery, and battery backup modules to protect cache data.
• Management: Embedded web-based management using WebPAM PROe.

To configure the Promise Technology Vess R2600ti, follow these steps for initial setup, network assignment, and storage creation.

1. Initial Access

• Default IP Address: The default IP for accessing the Web GUI is 10.0.0.1.
• Default Credentials: Log in using the username administrator and password password.
• Connection Method: Use a standard web browser or SSH via a tool like PuTTY for command-line access.

2. Network Configuration

You can set a static IP via the Command Line Utility (CLU) menu:

1. Navigate to IP Address using arrow keys.
2. Erase the current address and type the new IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway.
3. Press Ctrl-A to save and proceed to RAID configuration.

3. Storage Setup (RAID and Logical Drives)

The typical workflow for preparing storage follows these four steps:

• Step 1: Disk Array Creation – Group physical drives into a single array.
• Step 2: Logical Drive Creation – Carve the disk array into logical volumes (LUNs). Supported RAID levels include 0, 1, 1E, 3, 5, 6, 10, 30, 50, and 60.
• Step 3: Spare Drive Creation – Designate drives as hot spares for automatic recovery.
• Step 4: Summary – Review and confirm settings before the system initializes the drives.

4. Controller Modes

• Availability: Available in Single Controller (tiS) or Dual Controller (tiD) models.
• Redundancy: Dual controller models support Active-Active redundancy for high availability.
• Host Interfaces: Each controller typically provides 2x 10Gb (BASE-T) and 4x 1Gb iSCSI ports.

5. Maintenance and Support

• Firmware Updates: Download the .ptif firmware image from the Promise Download Center. In WebPAM, go to System > Administration > Firmware Update to apply it.
• Manuals: Comprehensive instructions are available in theVess R2000 Series Product Manual.
