Shared SAN volumes that you create in the Xsan Admin application will appear to the client as a single local volume. You can create these volumes by selecting a combination of RAID arrays to be included in a pool, which, in turn, is added to create the volume. Volumes can be up to 1024 terabytes (TB) in size, which means a client machine will be able to display up to eight 1024 TB volumes on its desktop. Furthermore, clients can write one file that is 1024 TB in size, or create up to 4 billion files and directories per volume! |
