Viewing a Fibre Channel Device
StorNext 3.1.3 Installation Guide 122
8 Run the following in Terminal to update Xsan with the new file
system information:
launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.xsan.plist
launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.xsan.plist
If the file system does not mount automatically, manually mount the
StorNext file system. In the Terminal type
xsanctl mount <fsname> Where
<fsname> is the file system name displayed in cvadmin. The SNFS file
system should now be mounted on the Mac OS X computer.
Viewing a Fibre Channel Device
Use this procedure to add a Fibre Channel (FC) device. Before adding a
FC device, first configure the Host Bus Adapter (HBA) card so you can
view the device. Use the
fs_scsi -p command to make sure you can view
your devices over FC. FC devices include tape libraries, individual
drives, or RAID disk.
1 Type the /usr/adic/TSM/util/fs_scsi -p command to make sure that the
necessary devices can be viewed over FC.
• To view tape libraries, access the StorNext GUI to view your tape
libraries.
• To view individual drives or RAID LUNs, access either the StorNext
or SNFS GUI.
To add a disk, see Chapter 6, “Managing the File System,” in the StorNext
User’s Guide. To add a tape drive to a configured library, see Chapter 8,
“Managing Drives and Disks,” in the StorNext User’s Guide.
Note: Unload will fail if plist is not loaded.
Note: The fs_scsi -p command is only available if the storage
manager is installed on the FSM server.
