To achieve the best throughput and lowest latency, Xsan filesystem access requires specific environmental optimizations. Fibre Channel Optimization
Access requires the same SAN LUNs presented to the Windows/Linux host. The volume must be before mounting on another OS to avoid corruption.
Xsan utilizes two distinct networks: a high-speed data network (usually Fibre Channel or high-speed Ethernet) and a standard Ethernet network for metadata [1, 2].
