Server Applications


Apple's Xserve G5 servers will have to be configured as metadata controllers to work with Xsan. Several applications can assist you in setting up your server. These applications can be installed on any machine that is connected to your network and is visible to the metadata controller you are configuring.

The following applications are listed as Mac OS X Server Admin Tools, and can be downloaded at www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple:

Server Assistant: Allows setup and configuration of one or more Xserve computers. This application helps you set up servers interactively or automate setup using data saved in a file or in Open Directory.

Server Admin: Allows setup and configuration of server services such as mail, NAT, firewall, AFP, SMB, VPN, and others.

Workgroup Manager: Creates and manages groups of users and computers; manages preferences for Mac OS X users; enables network settings for Windows clients; manages share points; and accesses the Inspector, which lets you work with Open Directory entries.
