ASC SAN Clients
ASC SAN Clients are the actual file and application servers that utilize the
storage resources via the ASC Server.
These SAN Clients access their storage resources via software-emulated virtual
adapters (for SAN/IP) . The storage resources appear as locally attached devices
to the SAN Clients’ operating systems (Windows NT, Windows 2000, Linux,
Solaris, etc.) even though the SCSI devices are actually located at the ASC
Server.
When you highlight a specific SAN client, the right-hand pane displays the
Client ID, type, and authentication status, as well as information about the
client machine.
Note: From the Console you can add SAN clients so you can start allocating
resources to the clients. This is called the authorization process. However, for
SAN/IP clients, even when the clients are added, you still need to go to the
client host to install the client software and authenticate to the server, using
the proper username/password. That establishes the authentication credential
for all subsequent operation. Until that is done, the console will show that the
client is not authenticated. To authenticate, you must add the server to the
client. For Windows clients, you can use the Add Server option in the SAN
Client Monitor. For Linux, Solaris, AIX, and HP-UX clients, you can execute
./sanclient monitor from /usr/local/sanclient/bin.
