58 Chapter 4 Managing Clients and Users
Adding a Client
Before a computer can access a SAN volume, you need to set up that computer as a
SAN client.
To add a client computer to a SAN:
1 If you haven’t already, connect the client computer to the SAN’s Fibre Channel and
Ethernet networks and install the Xsan software.
2 Open Xsan Admin, select the SAN in the SAN Components list, and click Setup.
3 Click Computers, select the new computer in the list, and click Edit.
4 Type an Xsan software serial number.
The serial number is on the Xsan installer disc sleeve.
5 Choose Client or Controller from the Role pop-up menu.
Choose Client if you don’t want the computer to be available as a standby controller for
the SAN.
6 Choose the Ethernet port that the computer uses to communicate with other devices
on the SAN and click OK.
Now you can mount Xsan volumes on the client.
Adding a Client to a StorNext SAN
If you already have an ADIC StorNext File System set up, you can add Macintosh Xsan
clients to it. For more information, see Appendix A.
