PROMISE specializes in providing the latest in scalable SAN storage, Thunderbolt enabled storage, NAS storage, and personal and enterprise cloud storage solutions for clients in different verticals.

Hi Stefan, Thank you for choosing Promise Technology, Inc. Dota 2 for mac. For your storage needs. The 10.x firmware is for MAC version of VTrak unit and 3.x version is for the windows version of VTrak unit. Hi there, Hoping for any assistance. We lost our Promise RJ11 to DB9 cable so purchased a new one off eBay, when trying to connect either directly into Xserve or attached to a DB9 to USB into a Mac Pro we are unable to type in Terminal, iTerm, Zterm or Serial (Serial does get to the username.

Hello Paradeshi:


It is possible to have multiple computers accessing the VTrak at the same time. If you have a dual port card in your Mac, you will need to connect each computer to both controllers in the back of the VTrak. Each controller will have 4 fiber channel ports. This should allow for both computers to see the volume.


NOTE: The VTrak does not control which computer has read and write access to the volume. If both computers have direct access to the volume, it will cause corruption. You will need SAN software to manage write access to the volume to prevent this. A couple of examples for SAN Software are XSan or SANmp.

The other route you can go is to have a volume isolated to each server. This will prevent the computers from overwriting the same areas of data that can cause the corruption.



If you would like more information about setting up the VTrak to work with multiple hosts, you can call Promise Technical Support at 1 (408) 228-1500. Warlock 2: the exiled crack. Our VTrak line is open 24x7.

Designed for data intensive applications

With rapidly growing demands on Storage Area Networks (SAN), IT departments require the best performance, capacity and overall value from their storage investment. The PROMISE VTrak Ex30f delivers on all fronts, with unparalleled next generation storage processing power. Using high-speed 8 Gb/s host connectivity coupled with massive internal bandwidth, the VTrak Ex30 features the latest 6 Gb/s SAS/SATA drive technology that sets a new performance standard. The VTrak Ex30 also features an easy to use web interface to simplify storage setup and management.

High performance enterprise-level storage architecture

Dual active-active controller modules are internally connected using high performance PCIe Gen2 and delivered in an industry standard Storage Bridge Bay (SBB) 2.0 compliant package. Hosts connect to VTrak Ex30 through quad 8 Gb/s FC ports per controller, giving users a staggering 6.4 GB/s of bandwidth to their stored data.

Exceptional uptime and reliability

Built upon Intel’s next generation storage platform, the Intel Xeon processor C5500/C3500 series with the Intel 3420 chipset, the Promise VTrak x30 Series is equipped with the horsepower to handle the rigorous demands of today’s enterprise environments. Dual power supplies/cooling units come standard, to ensure exceptional uptime and reliability.

Outstanding power efficiency

VTrak products utilize environmentally-friendly production methods and materials and are designed with high-efficiency in mind. Powered by 80Plus Bronze certified power supplies that offer up to 85% power efficiency, all VTrak x30 Series products improve TCO by conserving power, reducing heat output and improving cooling costs. Additionally, the Promise GreenRAID initiative includes advanced power management support for hard disk drives, providing up to 65% energy savings.


Your data is safe with Vtrak

Dual active-active 8 Gb/s Fibre Channel controller modules with cache mirroring over a high-speed PCIe Gen 2 link allow for redundant data paths to ensure data availability, while dual power supply units, battery backed cache, and intelligent cache management strategies are in place to minimize downtime and protect user data. Hardened controller fail-over strategies, autonomous healing technologies like predictive data migration, along with robust RAID 5 and RAID 6 algorithms work together to improve system fault tolerance capabilities and assist in keeping continuous data access.
