Monitoring SAN Status

Locking Xsan Admin Views for Secure Monitoring

You can use the Lock View command to allow SAN monitoring without the risk of

accidental or malicious configuration changes. For example, you might want to

monitor a SAN from an unsecured computer or allow specific people to monitor a SAN

without letting them change its configuration.

To lock views:

m

Open Xsan Admin and choose View > Lock View.

While views are locked, you can monitor the SAN as usual but all buttons and controls

that you use to change the SAN configuration are disabled.

To unlock views:

m

Choose View > Unlock View and type your user password.
