Combining Xsan and StorNext
Clients and Controllers
This appendix shows how to add Macintosh clients to an
existing StorNext File System SAN or connect Windows,
Solaris, AIX, Irix, or Linux clients to an Xsan SAN.
Xsan is fully compatible with ADIC’s StorNext File System, so you can add Macintosh
clients to an existing StorNext SAN or set up Xserve and Xserve RAID systems to act as
controllers and storage for Windows, Solaris, UNIX, AIX, Irix, or Linux clients that are
running StorNext software.
