Connecting to a Controller Using SSH in Terminal
You can use the Secure Shell (SSH) tool from the command line to log in to a SAN
controller over the network.
To connect to a controller using SSH:
1 In Xsan Admin, select Computers in the SAN Assets list.
2 Select the controller you want to connect to.
3 Choose “Connect using ssh” from the Action (gear) pop-up menu.
If you have trouble making an SSH connection, check the Sharing pane of System
Preferences on the remote computer and make sure Remote Login service is turned
on. If the computer is running Mac OS X Server, make sure that remote login is
enabled in the General Settings pane of Server Admin.
Managing a Controller Using Server Admin
You can remotely manage Mac OS X Server on a controller by using the Server Admin
application. Xsan Admin can open a Server Admin connection to any remote controller
or client server running an Mac OS X Server v10.6.
To connect to a controller or a client server using Server Admin:
1 In Xsan Admin, select Computers in the SAN Assets list.
2 Select the controller you want to connect to.
3 Choose “Connect using Server Admin” from the Action (gear) pop-up menu.
