Users Tab
On TerraBlock client systems, the ‘Users’ tab on the TerraBlock Manager will only be
visible if the TerraBlock User has “Admin” access.
These are the columns in the TerraBlock Manager Users Tab:
Name –
This is the name of the user or group as given by the administrator at the
time of creation. The name here matches the exact user name as reported by the
operating system on the client station.
Hostname –
The name given to the computer on which the user is logged in.
Hostnames must be unique to avoid incorrect information being viewed on the
TerraBlock Manager Volume tab.
WWN –
The World-Wide-Name is one of the ways Facilis protects the users from
mounting the same volumes with Write access in several places. Every Fibre Channel
card has a unique WWN. The WWN Index is also used to mount volumes remotely
from the TerraBlock Server version of TerraBlock Manager.
Port –
The Port designation specifies the location of the system on the rear of the
TerraBlock Server. If using a switch, several users may share the same port.
Administrator Access –
Access is determined by inclusion of a user to the
Administrators group. Otherwise the user will be a Normal user.
Admin
– A user may be granted Administrator access to create and remove
volumes, and create and remove users. Only an Admin will see the User tab
in the TerraBlock Manager. An admin will see all volumes, but will not
automatically have permissions to mount all volumes.
