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 folder before you type the command. For example, to use the

cvadmin

tool:

$ cd /Library/Filesystems/Xsan/bin

$ sudo ./cvversions

 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 folder

/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 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.
