Solving SAN Problems

You’re Unable to Install the Xsan Software

If the installer says you can’t install the Xsan 1.4 software on a particular computer,

make sure the computer has Mac OS X or Mac OS X Server version 10.4.7 or later

installed.

Some Computers Aren’t Listed in Xsan Admin

If a computer you want to add to the SAN as a controller or client is not listed in Xsan

Admin, make sure:

 You have installed the Xsan software on the computer.

 The computer is powered on.

 The computer is not sleeping and is not set to sleep (in the Energy Saver pane of

System Preferences).

 The computer is on the same TCP/IP subnets as the other SAN components. (If you

are using both a private and a public Ethernet network, all SAN components must be

connected to both.)

You’re Unable to Mount a Volume on a Client

 Try restarting the client computer, and then try again.

 Check that all Fibre Channel cables are plugged in.

 If the volume contains LUNs that are larger than 2 terabytes (TB), make sure the client

is running Xsan 1.3 or later.

 Make sure there are no other volumes mounted on the client that have the same

name as the Xsan volume.
