Setting Up an Xsan Volume on a SAN

Step 1: Set Up the Fibre Channel Network

To set up the SAN Fibre Channel network:

Connect controller computers, client computers, and RAID storage systems to a Fibre m

Channel switch to create a Fibre Channel fabric for the SAN. Be sure to congure the

switch and make the connections so you create a Fibre Channel fabric.

For more information, see the guidelines and requirements in “Fibre Channel Fabric” on

page 22.

Step 2: Set Up the Ethernet Networks

To set up the SAN Ethernet networks:

1 Connect controller computers, client computers, RAID systems, and Fibre Channel

switches to the public intranet and Internet.

2 Connect controller computers and client computers to the private metadata network.

3 Congure the network settings on the client and controller computers.

For each computer’s public Ethernet port, you can congure the TCP/IP settings:

Manually: You enter the static IP address, subnet mask, router address, and DNS server

address for each computer.

Using DHCP with manual address: You enter the computer’s static IP address, and

your DHCP server provides the other TCP/IP connection settings.

Using DHCP: Your DHCP server provides a static IP address and the other TCP/IP

settings for client computers. (This conguration method isn’t available when setting

up metadata controllers.) The DHCP server must be congured to always assign the

same static IP address to each SAN computer.

For the private metadata network, you can have the Xsan setup assistant congure the

network settings if you’re setting up new computers or computers on which you’ve

just performed a clean installation of Mac OS X Server. To make sure the Xsan setup

assistant oers this option, don’t congure the Ethernet port connected to the private

metadata network:

On client computers, leave this Ethernet port uncongured in Network preferences. Â

On controllers and clients running Mac OS X Server, disable this Ethernet port while Â

using the Mac OS X Server setup assistant.

The Xsan setup assistant oers to congure the private metadata network if it nds

exactly one available uncongured Ethernet port on each computer, or if each

computer has an Ethernet port with a private IP address on the same IP subnet and a

subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
