conguration les you can use to manage an Xsan SAN from the Terminal app.
What’s new in Xsan 2
Xsan 2 oers these new features and capabilities:
The Xsan Admin app is redesigned to simplify SAN management. Â
Xsan Admin enables you to turn on drive activity lights to identify LUNs. Â
A volume setup assistant guides you through the process of creating volumes for Â
common purposes such as video editing and le services.
The volume setup assistant also organizes available storage into storage pools for Â
you, based on the way you plan to use the volume.
More than one storage pool can have the same anity tag. Â
Each volume has a separate failover priority. Â
The Xsan le system supports extended attributes for Macs with Xsan 2.3 or Xsan 2.2. Â
Volumes created with Xsan 2.3 use extended attributes by default.
Xsan 2.3: The Xsan le system is built into Mac OS X Lion. Any Mac that has Lion and Â
the requisite Ethernet and Fibre Channel connections can access Xsan volumes.
Xsan 2.3: Mac OS X Lion includes an Xsan pane in System Preferences. It lets users Â
with administrator accounts on their computers enable and disable the Xsan le
system, mount and unmount Xsan volumes, and see basic SAN information such as
the SAN name and the SAN administrator name and email address.
Xsan 2.3: Mac OS X Lion includes support for the Asymmetric Logical Unit Access Â
(ALUA) standard for multipathing and failover. Support for this standard
multipathing implementation allows Xsan to be used with a variety of Fibre Channel
RAID storage arrays.
Xsan 2.3: An Xsan 2.3 SAN can also include client computers that have Mac OS X or Â
Mac OS X Server version 10.6 Snow Leopard and Xsan 2.2.1 installed.
Xsan 2.3: For improved performance and simplicity, you can now have Xsan volumes Â
that aren’t case sensitive. These volumes, like traditional Mac volumes, do not
distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters in lenames.
Xsan 2.3: An Xsan volume can have a separate storage pool for journal data, which Â
may improve performance.
