Viewing a Fibre Channel Device

8Run 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

Note: Unload will fail if plist is not loaded.

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 -pcommand to make sure you can view your devices over FC. FC devices include tape libraries, individual drives, or RAID disk.

Note: The fs_scsi -pcommand is only available if the storage manager is installed on the FSM server.

1Type the /usr/adic/TSM/util/fs_scsi -pcommand 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.
