Setting Up a Storage Area Network

Step 6:

Open Xsan Admin and Log In to the SAN

1

Open Xsan Admin on any computer connected to the SAN.

Xsan Admin is in /Applications/Server.

You can open Xsan Admin on any computer attached to the SAN, or on any remote
computer that can reach the SAN’s TCP/IP subnet.

2

When the login dialog appears, use an administrator account to log in to a SAN
computer that will be used as a controller.

3

Click Setup.

4

On the Computers pane, type a name for the SAN and click Save.

The SAN name you type appears in the SAN Components list instead of the controller
name or address. To list the controller instead, deselect “Use SAN name in list” in Xsan
Admin Preferences.
