Managing engines

Within SAN File System, an engine is the hardware (which is based on the IBM® xSeries® platform) on which a metadata server and an administrative server run.

The administrative infrastructure on each engine allows an administrator to monitor and control SAN File System from a standard Web browser or an administrative command-line interface. The two major components of the infrastructure are an administrative agent, which provides access to administrative operations, and a Web server that is bundled with the console services and servlets that render HTML for the administrative browsers.
