46 Chapter 3 Setting Up a Storage Area Network
If you’re setting up new metadata controller, or a controller on which you have just
performed a clean installation of Leopard Server, the setup assistant prompts you to
insert the Xsan Install Disc when it’s time to install the Xsan software.
2 In the Custom Install pane, deselect Xsan Admin, click Continue, and follow the
remaining onscreen instructions to install just the Xsan file system.
To install Xsan software on a computer that has no keyboard or display:
1 Insert the Xsan Install Disc in the computer that doesn’t have a keyboard or display.
2 Log in to a computer that does have a keyboard and display.
3 In the Finder, choose Go > Connect to Server and type vnc://address in the Server
Address field, replacing address with the IP address or DNS name of the target
computer.
4 Click Connect and enter the name and password of an administrator account on the
target computer.
5 In the screen sharing window, open the Xsan Install Disc icon, double-click the
Xsan.mpkg icon, and follow the onscreen instructions.
If you want to install just the Xsan file system, deselect Xsan Admin in the Custom
Install pane.
You can also use the Apple Remote Desktop application (which you can purchase
separately) to install the Xsan software on one or more remote computers at once. For
information about Apple Remote Desktop, go to www.apple.com/remotedesktop.
From the Command Line
For information about installing the Xsan software by using command-line tools in
