Q: Activation case sensitive XSAN

Mar 22, 2016 10:51 PMby Claudio Sanchez1,So you're trying to go from case-insensitive to case-sensitive, but it won't let you? And you're using Server app to do this by checking the unchecked "Use case sensitive file system" option? What version of Server and OS X? What error do you see?
If it fails because the volume could not be stopped, try stopping the volume first in Server app. It may take a minute or two to stop. If the volume won't stop in Server app, you can stop it with cvadmin like this:
sudo cvadmin -e "stop VolumeName"
Once the volume is stopped, try changing the configuration in Server app again. If it failed because the volume wasn't stopping before, it should now work.

Stop the volume:
sudo cvadmin -e "stop VolumeName"
Change volume config from case-insensitive to case-sensitive:
sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'set :config:globals:caseInsensitive false' /Library/Preferences/Xsan/VolumeName.cfgp
Update the volume's metadata:
sudo cvupdatefs VolumeName
Before you say "yes" to let cvupdatefs do its thing, verify that the only change will be case-insensitivity will be disabled (i.e. it will become case-sensitive).
