Use these arguments with the xsanctl commands on each computer that you want to mount the Xsan volume.
--at
Tells the Xsan volume to mount over a specific folder, instead of the standard location in /Volumes. This option repeats each time you mount and restart a volume.
--ro
Mounts the Xsan volume as read-only, instead of read-write, which is the default.
--rw
Mounts the Xsan volume as read-write. Use this option to change a volume that was set up to mount as read-only. This is the default value for Xsan clients.
--threads
Changes the number of threads that the Xsan client uses for I/O requests. You shouldn't use this option for normal use. Make sure to test it before you use it in a production environment.
You should adjust the default values in the --threads argument in small increments. Be sure to test it before you run it in a production environment..
--dircachesize
Sets the size of the directory information cache on Xsan clients. A larger cache can make some functions go faster, like reading directories. The default value of 10485760 is fine in most cases. You should test this before you use it in a production environment.
You should adjust the default values in the --dircachesize argument in small increments. Make sure to test it before you run it in a production environment.
These sample commands use the arguments above with the volume named MyVolume.
mkdir /MyVolume xsanctl mount MyVolume --at /MyVolume xsanctl mount MyVolume --ro xsanctl mount MyVolume --at /MyVolume --ro
