Here’s how to connect Windows, Solaris, UNIX, AIX, IRIX,
or Linux clients to an Xsan SAN.
Xsan is fully compatible with Quantum’s StorNext File System, so you can set up Xserve
and RAID systems to act as SAN controllers and storage for Windows, Sun Solaris,
UNIX, IBM AIX, SGI IRIX, or Linux clients that run StorNext software. For information
about adding Macintosh clients to an existing StorNext SAN, see the StorNext
documentation.
