We recently did a post on Xsanity about integrating StorNext clients with Xsan. It is very important that when you’re doing this type of integration that you remember that all metadata controllers need to have that license.dat file. If they don’t then not all of your clients will failover properly. When you’re finished with the integration, we recommend backing up the entire /Library/FileSystems/Xsan/config directory and running a cvgather. This final step will also make sure that if you need to restore a metadata controller that you won’t have to have a new license.dat file generated (amongst others).
