Mar 2, 2015 9:55 AM in response to Him-Andersenby Claudio Sanchez1,How does it "not work"? What exactly did you try? How did it fail? What error did you see in the user interface and logs? If you have some clients that are working, what's different about them and the ones you're trying to add? What version of OS X is MDC and client?
Assuming this is pre-Yosemite: Make sure the client is able to run "sudo cvlabel -c" without hanging, and if not fix fibre channel. Remove all LDAP and AD bindings in Directory Utility before adding to the SAN. (If this helps, then add them back later if adding to the SAN doesn't re-add them.) Make sure the network is healthy between Xsan Admin system and client (no packet loss).

Mar 3, 2015 12:50 AM in response to Claudio Sanchez1by Him-Andersen,HI Claudio.
When I try to add the clients in the Xsan admin I can authenticate etc. but then it comes up with the "can't write config file" error.
These machines have been connected to the Xsan before, but I removed all config files etc. All the machines and servers are 10.9 newest version.
Ill try the "sudo cvlabel -c" and report back.
Thank you so far!

Mar 3, 2015 6:39 AM in response to Claudio Sanchez1by Him-Andersen,So I ran the sudo command, and I received a perfect "reply" right away.
I can see the LUNS there, so does it mean it should be working?

Mar 4, 2015 7:09 PM in response to Him-Andersenby Claudio Sanchez1,That's good, but that's just one potential problem that might have caused this. I had two more suggestions above:
"Remove all LDAP and AD bindings in Directory Utility before adding to the SAN. (If this helps, then add them back later if adding to the SAN doesn't re-add them.) Make sure the network is healthy between Xsan Admin system and client (no packet loss)."
Also check this:
Make sure xsanmgrd is running--or servermgrd if this is Lion or older. Note that if you've deleted /Library/Preferences/com.apple.xsanmgrd.plist from the system, that file won't regenerate itself, and xsanmgrd won't start. You'll have to copy it over from another system.
If you have really old pre-Lion systems (which required an Xsan serial number), you should check that you don't have serial number errors in your system log or serial number log. You can't add a client if its serial number is already in use.
