Now start the dnsmasq process by bootstrapping the launchdaemon: sudo launchctl bootstrap system /Library/LaunchDaemons/uk.# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface The lines should be formatted as ip (tab) hostname, for example: #.At the bottom of the file add a line for each system.In a Terminal window run sudo nano /etc/hosts (or use your plain text editor of choice).Edit the /etc/hosts file to add both MDCs (and any fibre connected clients).We just need the most basic functionality. On the Mac that will host your dns, copy/move these items, creating the folders as necessary:.Copy src/dnsmasq, contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk., and to your MDC.Open a Terminal window to the expanded folder (i.e.Expand the tar.gz file in your Downloads location.
APPLE XSAN DOWNLOAD
Download the current dnsmasq tar.gz from their site on a Mac that matches the architecture of your MDCs (Intel vs M1) and has Xcode or the Xcode Command-line tools installed.
APPLE XSAN INSTALL
dnsmasq is available in Homebrew or MacPorts, but for our Xsan, I didn’t want to install all the extra that comes with a package manager. Running additional services on an MDC isn’t recommended, but works for our test system. For our solution we installed dnsmasq on our MDC. To provide DNS services for the metadata network, you could use any number of solutions (a Raspberry Pi, a smart switch with that service, etc).
APPLE XSAN UPGRADE
APPLE XSAN DRIVER
We have installed the ATTO driver and allowed it in System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> General. Our test environment is made up of 2 Intel Mac Minis with ATTO Thunderlink fibre adapters connected to a fibre switch and one 12 drive RAID unit connected to the same switch. In this post I will walk through creating a new Xsan from scratch on macOS Monterey. Apple has produced an Xsan Management Guide (as of available on the Apple developer site). In short, Mac users working with StorNext now have the freedom to use the best connectivity for any given element of the workflow - a new level of flexibility that can enable greater efficiency and productivity while reducing costs.In macOS Monterey the Server.app interface for setting up and managing Xsan is gone.
APPLE XSAN FULL
Now, the availability of a high-performance IP connection to Apple clients through StorNext is a significant step forward for users looking to take full advantage of an end-to-end StorNext storage environment. The new Xsan Distributed LAN Client-StorNext functionality is now available for testing in the public beta of OS X El Capitan.Īlex Grossman, Vice President, Media and Entertainment, Quantum: “Mac systems have long been the platform of choice for creative professionals who, in turn, have long relied on StorNext and Fibre Channel connectivity to deliver the performance and reliability they require. With the public beta release of OS X El Capitan, Xsan users can now enjoy full client access to a StorNext SAN environment to perform these critical tasks, using a simple Ethernet connection. Increasingly, however, content owners are looking to leverage lower-cost Ethernet connectivity within their media workflows for such tasks as file inspection, QA and digital daily review. StorNext, Quantum’s shared storage platform which is 100 percent Xsan-compatible, has long allowed Mac users to plug into StorNext environments via Fibre Channel for high-performance workflow storage and collaboration. Now OS X El Capitan users can easily connect Xsan clients over Ethernet to a Quantum StorNext® environment, enabling them to experience the full benefits of a StorNext-based workflow. announced support for the Xsan Distributed LAN Client in the public beta of Apple’s forthcoming operating system, OS X El Capitan.
