Nov 7, 2014 10:38 AM in response to Blaidd Drwgby Bully Pro,Thank you Blaidd, but I don't think this would be the issue. We only have 4 computers that mount the volume.

Nov 7, 2014 7:49 PM in response to Bully Proby Claudio Sanchez1,★HelpfulWhat happens when you try to mount the volume? Try "sudo xsanctl mount VolumeName".
What version of OS X was the MDC running before? Was the MDC already an Open Directory Master before you upgraded to Yosemite? Any problems activating Xsan in Server.app on the MDC after the upgrade?
Check that the client system has at least these files in /Library/Preferences/Xsan:
- .auth_secret (won't be visible in Finder)
- fsnameservers
- config.plist
These files are created by the client after it connects to the configuration URL configured by the profile. That's the secure LDAP service running on the MDC. If no files are there, the system log may provide clues around the time you installed the configuration profile.
If the client does have config files, check that fsmpm is running. If it is, try "sudo xsanctl mount VolumeName". Check for errors in /Library/Logs/Xsan/debug/nssdbg.out.
And of course verify that the client can see all LUNs from all data stripe groups in the volume.

After doing much research and testing I believe you are onto something with my fsmpm or my .auth_secret file not being created. After using Server.app on the MDC I used the configure profile within Server.app. After installing the profile on my client computer it didn't mount and when looking within the Library/Preferences/Xsan folder there was no files (including the hidden .auth_secret file). So I then I used the web profile interface to create the configuration profile and this time it installed the fsnameservers and config.plist files but not the hidden auth_secret file and still no mount.
To answer some of you questions, I did try several times the "sudo xsanctl mount Volume Name" but had no success. I was previously running 10.9 on the MDC and my client computer. I am not sure if the MDC already had an Open Directory Master before upgrading and I did have a little bit of problems activating Xsan, because some of my DNS settings had changed. I got that all squared away and Xsan started working.
The reason I believe it is a fsmpm issue is because when I executed the command "sudo xsanctl i" (views the volumes connected to Xsan) I go a message reading "fsmpm not running error3". So after reading this forum Xsan: "fsmpm not running" message in Xsan Admin - Apple Support I copied the .auth_secret from the MDC to my client and still no mount. I tried again with all the files within Library/Preferences/Xsan folder and nothing. I then got the .auth_secret file from another client computer running 10.9 and still no mount, BUT when I copied all the files within the 10.9 client's Library/Preferences/Xsan the volume appeared! YEAH! But I'm not sure if this is a fix I should be happy with or continue to figure out why its not working the proper way? That way in the future I'm not running into this issue over and over again.
So I need to figure out either how to get my fsmpn running in 10.10 or figure out why my my Server.app on the MDC won't create the auth_sect file. I read somewhere that within the Xsan screen in the Sever app it should show the Authentication Secret, but I do not see this on my Xsan screen. Should it be there and if so is this where my problem steams from? Any thoughts? Thank you so much!

This is what my system log showed when installing the Configuration Profile on my client computer.

The client couldn't connect to the LDAP server because of a Kerberos problem. I suggest contacting Apple support with that.
