Accusys ExaSAN SW08-Q4 - Manual (Page 22)

3.1 SAN Management software Installation
SANit is a powerful SAN management software and file system specifically designed for extremely reliable high-
performance, cross platform and file-level shared access workflows. Be sure your MDC eviormnment is all set up
already. Begin utilizing your SANit SAN management software by following the steps shown below.
Requirement stuff:
1. MDC server installed Cent OS 5.3 (2.6.18-128.el5)
2. SANit software
3. Licence
4. Ethernet
3.2 Connecting the Private LAN
In addition to the ExaSAN PCIe network, all computers for the SAN must be connected to a private Ethernet
network (the Private LAN). SANit MDC servers and clients use this network to exchange file system metadata.
Connect each SAN client and MDC server to two Ethernet networks: one private subnet for the SAN metadata and
a separate connection for directory service, intranet, and Internet traffic (the Public LAN).
The steps below apply to the Private LAN only. We assume that the Public LAN is already in place.
1. Connect your workgroup client system #1 to the private LAN Ethernet switch with a CAT-5 cable
(Lan switch hub).
2. Repeat Step 1 for client systems #2.
3. Connect the ExaSAN switch to the private LAN Ethernet switch with a CAT-5 cable
(For the monitor switch of the RAID Guard X configuration).
