Problems Using Command-Line Tools

 If you get the response “command not found” when you try to use an Xsan

command-line tool, add /Library/Filesystems/Xsan/bin to your search path or switch
to this directory before you type the command. For example, to use the

cvadmin

tool:

$ cd /Library/Filesystems/Xsan/bin

$ sudo ./cvadmin

 If you get the response “Cannot list FSS - reason -Bad file descriptor” when you run

the

cvadmin

tool, make sure you are using the tool as the root user. Either log in as

the root user or use the

sudo

command to run the tool. For example:

$ sudo ./cvadmin

 If you get the response “No manual entry for...” when you try to view the man page

for an Xsan command-line tool, you need to add the Xsan man pages directory
/Library/Filesystems/Xsan/man to your man search path. One way to do this is to add
the following line to the file /usr/share/misc/man.conf (Mac OS X or Mac OS X v10.4)
or the file /etc/manpath.config (Mac OS X or Mac OS X v10.3):

MANPATH /Library/Filesystems/Xsan/man

A Client User Sees Error Code –1425

The user is trying to occupy more space than allowed by his or her hard quota.

A LUN Doesn’t Have as Much Space as Expected

To make striping across LUNs possible, Xsan automatically adjusts LUN sizes to make all
LUNs in a storage pool the same size as the smallest LUN in the pool. Xsan doesn’t use
the extra space on larger LUNs when you mix LUNs of different sizes in the same
storage pool.

Files and Folders Created by Mac OS 9 Computers Show
the Wrong Creation Date

A computer running Mac OS 9 can store files or folders on an Xsan volume that is
reshared using the AFP service of Mac OS X Server. However, the creation date reported
for those items by the Finder’s Get Info command on the Mac OS 9 computer is always
Feb 4, 2040. A computer running Max OS X reports a blank creation date for the same
files and folders. In both cases, the correct creation date is displayed in the Modified
field.
