Chapter 2 Setting Up a Storage Area Network 35
Step 5: Install Xsan Software on Clients and Controllers
Take the Xsan installer disc to each controller and client computer connected to the
SAN and install the Xsan software.
To install the Xsan file system and Xsan Admin application:
m Insert the disc and double-click the Xsan installer icon.
To install just the file system software without Xsan Admin:
m Click Customize on the final installer window and deselect Xsan Admin.
To install just the Xsan Admin application:
m On the Xsan installer disc, open the Admin Tools folder, and double-click
XsanAdmin.pkg.
To install Xsan on a computer that has no keyboard or monitor:
1 Log in to a computer that does have a monitor and keyboard and insert the Xsan disc.
2 Open the Terminal application (in /Applications/Utilities).
3 In Terminal, copy the Xsan installer package to the remote computer:
$ scp -r /Volumes/Xsan/Install_xsan.mpkg user@remotehost:/tmp/
where
user
is an administrator user on the remote computer and
remotehost
is the IP
address or DNS name of the computer you want to install on.
4 Log in to the remote computer:
$ ssh user@remotehost
where user and remotehost are the same as in the previous step.
5 Run the installer on the headless computer:
$ sudo installer -pkg /tmp/Install_Xsan.mpkg -target /
Or, if you want to watch the progress of installation, add the
-verbose
parameter:
$ sudo installer -verbose -pkg /tmp/Install_Xsan.mpkg -target /
