Apple Xsan 2 - Manual (Page 140)

140
Here’s how to connect Windows, Solaris, UNIX, AIX, IRIX, or
Linux clients to an Xsan SAN.
Xsan is fully compatible with Quantum’s StorNext File System, so you can set up
Mac Pro, Xserve, and RAID systems to act as SAN controllers and storage for Windows,
Sun Solaris, UNIX, IBM AIX, SGI IRIX, or Linux clients that run StorNext software. For
information about adding Macintosh clients to an existing StorNext SAN, see the
StorNext Product Bulletin #42, available at www.quantum.com/ServiceandSupport/
SoftwareandDocumentationDownloads/SupportBulletins/Index.aspx.
Compatible software versions
For information about versions of Xsan and StorNext controllers and clients that can
be used on the same SAN, see “Version compatibility” on page 13.
