Installing Just the Xsan Admin Application
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. For help, see page 55.
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.
Xsan Admin Preferences
Open Xsan Admin and choose Xsan Admin > Preferences to adjust these settings:
 The use of SSL or digital signatures to secure communications
 Listing computers by IP address instead of using DNS to display names
 Smoothing of SAN utilization graphs
 Connection alerts
 SAN status refresh interval
 The amount of log information displayed
