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.
Checking Overall SAN Status
Xsan Admin can show you an overview of SAN status.
To get a quick look at the status of a SAN:
m
Open Xsan Admin, select a SAN, and click Overview. To check the controller process for
a particular volume, select the volume and click Overview.
