Adding a Client to a StorNext SAN
If you already have an ADIC StorNext File System set up, you can add Macintosh Xsan
clients to it. For more information, see Appendix A.
Mounting a Volume on a Client
A user who is logged in to a client computer can’t mount a SAN volume. You or another
SAN administrator must use Xsan Admin to mount the volume on the client computer.
To mount an Xsan volume on a client:
1
Open Xsan Admin, select the volume in the SAN Components list, and click Clients.
2
Select the client computer in the list.
3
To allow the client to modify files on the volume, click Mount Read & Write.
To prevent the client from modifying the volume, click Mount Read Only.
You only need to mount an Xsan volume on a client once. The volume remains
mounted until you unmount it or until the user on the client unmounts it, even if the
user logs out or the client computer is restarted. If a user unmounts the volume, it is
remounted automatically when he or she restarts the computer.
From the Command Line
You can also mount a volume on a client using the
mount
command in Terminal. For
