Connecting to a Controller Using SSH in Terminal

You can use the Secure Shell (SSH) tool from the command line to log in to a SAN
controller over the network.

To connect to a controller using SSH:

1

In Xsan Admin, select Computers in the SAN Assets list.

2

Select the controller you want to connect to.

3

Choose “Connect using ssh” from the Action (gear) pop-up menu.

If you have trouble making an SSH connection, check the Sharing pane of System
Preferences on the remote computer and make sure Remote Login service is turned
on. If the computer is running Mac OS X Server, make sure that remote login is
enabled in the General Settings pane of Server Admin.
