36 Chapter 3 Setting Up a SAN Volume
Step 15: Start the Volumes and Mount Them on Clients
To make a volume available to a user or application on a client computer, you must use
Xsan Admin to start the volume and mount it on the client. Users logged in to client
computers can’t browse for or mount SAN volumes themselves.
1 In Xsan Admin, select each new volume in the SAN Components list and click Start
Volume.
If you set up affinities or quotas on the volume, you have already started it.
2 With the volume still selected, click Clients.
3 Select a computer and click Mount Read & Write.
To prevent the client from modifying the volume, click Mount Read Only after you click
Mount Read & Write.
Shift-click computers to mount on more than one at a time.
An icon for the mounted volume appears in the Finder on each client computer.
If you’re unable to mount volumes on any client, try shutting down all clients and
controllers, restarting the controller first and then the clients, and mounting again. If
you still have trouble, check your Fibre Channel switch configuration to be sure that the
SAN’s clients, controllers, and storage devices are in the same Fibre Channel zone.
