What’s New in Xsan 1.1

When you run the Xsan installer it installs either Xsan 1.1 for Mac OS X v10.3 or Xsan 1.1
for Mac OS X v10.4 to match the operating system of the target computer. Xsan 1.1
offers these new features and capabilities:

 You can use the new Lock View command in Xsan Admin to monitor a SAN from an

unsecured computer without the risk of a passerby mounting, unmounting, starting,
or stopping volumes or otherwise changing the SAN configuration.

 You can have Xsan Admin send an email notification to warn you if the Xsan

software serial number on a controller or client is about to expire.

 You can purchase and use site-licensed serial numbers.
 You can take advantage of both block-level and byte-level locking.
 You can use the Xsan User Quotas application to check user quotas from a client

without using Xsan Admin.

 (Mac OS X version 10.4 only) You can create files and volumes as large as 1024

terabytes (TB).
