Controlling a Client Using Screen Sharing
You can use the screen sharing feature of Mac OS X v10.5 or later to view and control
the screen of a SAN client over the network. Xsan Admin can start a screen sharing
session with the client.
To connect to a client using screen sharing:
1 In Xsan Admin, select Computers in the SAN Assets list.
2 Select the client you want to observe or control.
3 Choose “Connect Using Screen Sharing” from the Action (gear) pop-up menu.
If you have trouble sharing the screen of a remote computer, check the Sharing pane
of System Preferences on the remote computer and make sure Remote Management
service is turned on. If you have trouble starting a screen sharing session with an Xsan
client, open Security preferences on the client, click Firewall, and make sure the option
to block all incoming connections isn’t selected.
