  • The name that the Windows® client uses to identify the cluster.
  • The IP address of the metadata server for client-server communication.

  2. Click Volume Property.
  3. Double-click on the SAN File System volume.
  4. Edit the volume property that you want to change.
  5. Click OK to close the window.
