72 Chapter 4 Managing Clients and Users
Adding a Client
Before a computer can access a SAN volume, you need to set up that computer as a
SAN client.
To add a client computer to a SAN:
1 If you haven’t already, connect the client computer to the SAN’s Fibre Channel and
Ethernet networks and install the Xsan software.
2 Open Xsan Admin, select the SAN in the SAN Components list, and click Setup.
3 Click Computers, select the new computer in the list, and click Edit.
4 Choose Client from the Role pop-up menu.
You can choose Controller if you want the computer to be used as a client but want it
also to be available as a standby controller for the SAN.
5 Type an Xsan software serial number.
You can find the serial number for a single copy of Xsan on the Xsan installer disc
sleeve. If you have purchased a site-licensed serial number, look on the paperwork you
received when you purchased the license.
6 If you’re using a site-licensed serial number, type the registered license holder and
organization in the “Registered to” and Organization fields.
7 Click OK, then click Save.
Now you can mount Xsan volumes on the client.
