Helping Clients Check Their Own Quotas
SAN users who work at client computers but don’t have access to Xsan Admin can use
the Xsan User Quotas application to check their personal space quotas.
To check your quota from a client computer:
m Open the Xsan User Quotas application in /Applications/Server.
Creating Local Home Directories for Network Accounts
Creating SAN user accounts in a centralized directory simplifies the job of managing
user accounts for computers attached to the SAN. However, some applications, such as
Final Cut Pro, work best when a user has a local home directory on the computer he or
she is using.
To create a local home directory for a network user account:
1 Open Workgroup Manager on the server that is acting as your Open Directory master.
2 Click the Users tab, select the user, and click Home.
3 Click the Add (+) button below the list.
4 Type “/Users/” in the Home field, replacing with the user’s
short name and leaving off the quotes.
5 Click OK, then click Save.
The user’s home directory is created on the client computer the first time he or she
logs in.
