Step 2:

Choose Test Type and Settings

1

Open Xsan Tuner on the client computer.

Choose the volume you want to test from the Volume pop-up menu.

Note: You can use Xsan Tuner to test any volume mounted on the client, not just Xsan
volumes.

3

To test a specific storage pool in an Xsan volume, select the pool’s affinity name from
the Affinity pop-up menu.

4

Choose a test type from the Task pop-up menu.

5

If you have chosen a Final Cut Pro test, choose a video format from the Size pop-up
menu.

6

To simulate more than one stream of the chosen data type, choose from the Count
pop-up menu.

7

If you expect to perform the same test with the same parameters at another time,
you can choose File > Save to save the test window as you have configured it, and then
open it again at a later time.

8

If you are testing several clients simultaneously, repeat these steps on the other clients.
