Xserve RAID Admin Tools 1.5.1
When it rains it pours as the Morton Salt company says, which really has nothing to do with this post. First Apple updates the Xserve RAID and then they update the Xserve RAID Admin Tools 1.5.1. I smell conspiracy. No, wait, that's just the salt again.This update brings support for the larger disks in the slightly revamped Xserve RAID, as well as a number of other fixes that are listed in the support doc.Thanks, Chris.
Deploy XSan like a Pro
Apple is a very different company than it was just a few years ago. Now it is rolling in filthy lucre thanks to the run away success of the iPod, and it is offering up enterprise solutions that people in Corporate IT shops are actually seriously considering.XSan is just such a beast; Apple's file system that you use to create SAN's (Storage Area Networks) using XRaids (or some other RAID devices). The good folks at AFP548.com have a review/walk through of XSan that takes you through the steps of setting up your very own SAN using XSan (though as they point out while XSan makes it easy to do this is something that shouldn't be taken lightly).
