Setting Up a Storage Area Network

To install Xsan on a computer that has no keyboard or monitor:

1

Log in to a computer that does have a keyboard and monitor, and then insert the

Xsan disc.

2

Open the Terminal application (in /Applications/Utilities/).

3

In Terminal, copy the Xsan installer package to the remote computer:

$ scp -r /Volumes/Xsan/Install_xsan.mpkg user@remotehost:/tmp/

where

user

is an administrator user on the remote computer and

remotehost

is the IP

address or DNS name of the computer you want to install on.

4

Log in to the remote computer:

$ ssh user@remotehost

where

user

and

remotehost

are the same as in the previous step.

5

Run the installer on the headless computer:

$ sudo installer -pkg /tmp/Install_Xsan.mpkg -target /

Or, if you want to watch the progress of installation, add the

-verbose

parameter:

$ sudo installer -verbose -pkg /tmp/Install_Xsan.mpkg -target /
