Chapter 2 Setting Up a Storage Area Network 39
Setting Up Additional SANs
You can use Xsan Admin to set up and manage more than one SAN. To add a new SAN,
you connect computers and storage devices to Fibre Channel and Ethernet networks,
identify computers that will act as controllers or clients, organize available storage by
combining Xserve RAID arrays and slices (LUNs) into storage pools and storage pools
into volumes, and mount the resulting volumes on client computers.
If you are setting up a SAN for the first time, see the planning guidelines and more
detailed instructions earlier in this chapter.
To add a SAN:
m Open Xsan Admin, click Add SAN, and log in to a computer you will use as a controller
for the new SAN. Then set up the SAN as described under “SAN Setup Summary” on
page 29.
