Apple Xsan 1.0 - Manual (Page 25)

Chapter 2 Before You Begin 25
Using the Xsan Admin Application
You use the Xsan Admin application to set up and manage Xsan volumes, controllers,
and clients. You can use Xsan Admin to manage a SAN from any computer that has
access to the SAN’s TCP/IP subnet.
Xsan Admin is installed in /Applications/Server.
Installing Xsan Admin Separately
Xsan Admin is included when you install the Xsan software on SAN controller and
client computers. You can also install just Xsan Admin on any other computer you want
to use to manage the SAN.
Connecting Through a Firewall
If there is a firewall between the SAN and the computer you’re using to run Xsan
Admin, you need to open port 311 in the firewall so Xsan Admin can communicate with
the SAN computers.
Getting Help
Xsan Admin includes online help. Choose Help > Xsan Admin Help or click the help
button in any dialog or pane where it appears.
Using the Command Line
If necessary, you can perform most Xsan setup and management tasks from a shell
command prompt. For more information, see the Xsan Administrator’s Guide.
