Working With StorNext Clients
and Controllers
This chapter describes how to add Macintosh clients to
an existing StorNext File System SAN or connect
Windows, UNIX, AIX, Irix, or Linux clients to an Xsan SAN.
Xsan is fully compatible with ADIC’s StorNext File System, so you can add Macintosh
clients to an existing StorNext SAN or set up Xserve and Xserve RAID systems to act as
controllers and storage for Windows, Solaris, UNIX, AIX, Irix, or Linux clients that are
running StorNext software.
Compatible Software Versions
Xsan clients and controllers are compatible with computers running StorNext File
System version 2.4 and later.
Licensing
You license a Macintosh Xsan client or controller using the serial number printed on
the installer disc sleeve that comes in the Xsan package. Licences for StorNext are
purchased separately from ADIC when you buy the StorNext software. When you add
Xsan clients to an existing StorNext SAN, the Xsan clients do not use or count against
StorNext File System client licenses.
