Technology Overview
Xserve RAID
Xsan Admin includes real-time monitoring of Xsan systems and notifies the Xsan
administrator of various events using email or pager. Xsan Admin provides the
following status information:
• Free space in a volume or storage pool
• User quota usage
• Graphs of CPU and network utilization
• Setup status notifications
• Status of file system processes
• Log file
• Connected clients
• Fibre Channel failures
Xsan Admin tools can be used to map volumes to specific systems on the SAN,
allowing you to limit which systems can see which volumes. Keep in mind that all
Mac OS X file permissions still apply to Xsan volumes. Volume mapping simply
provides an added layer of control and security.
