Mounting a Volume on a Client
When you create a volume, it is mounted on SAN computers. However, if you explicitly
unmount a volume from a client, you must mount it again to restore access.

that don’t have the
volume mounted.
To mount an Xsan volume on a client:
1 In Xsan Admin, select Mounts in the SAN Assets list.
2 Select the client in the list.
3 Select the volume in the Volume pop-up menu.
4 To allow the client to modify files on the volume, click the Mount Read & Write button.
To prevent the client from modifying the volume by mounting it read-only, option-
click the Mount Read & Write button.
A 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 remounts in a few moments.
From the Command Line
You can also mount a volume on a client using the
xsanctl command in Terminal.
For more information, see the xsanctl man page or “Mounting an Xsan Volume” on
page 121.
Changing Mount Options
You can use Xsan Admin to adjust settings that can affect volume access performance.
