This makes me nervous, still at 1.2b3 as well.

Hi!

If I remember correctly, this is the behaviour I was told to expect by an Active engineer around Christmas last year. It should work, it's just ActiveSAN Admin can't read the version / mounted info. I think you might have to mount / unmount the client from the CLI (on the client) too.

Was it the /Library/Preferences/Xsan directory you manually restored?

Thanks,
Tom

I cant speak to the serial interface. Im not sure there is a serial interface on the back. you can reset via CLI using the admin tools which are avalible on activestorage.com

-d <ip> password --reset
