Apple Xsan 1.1 - Manual (Page 15)

Chapter 2 Upgrading to Xsan 1.1 on Mac OS X v10.3.9 “Panther” 15
Step 5: (Optional) Upgrade client computers
Clients running Xsan 1.0 can use volumes hosted by controllers running Xsan 1.1. on
Mac OS X v10.3.9, so you don’t have to upgrade your clients. However, upgrading the
client computers in your SAN is highly recommended.
Note: You won’t be able to change the role of a client computer to controller until you
upgrade the client to Xsan 1.1 on Mac OS X v10.3.9.
To upgrade client computers to Xsan 1.1 on Mac OS X v10.3.9:
1 Run the Mac OS X update installer on the client computer.
If the computer is connected to the Internet, you can open the Software Update pane
of System Preferences, click Check Now, select the Mac OS X Update Combined version
10.3.9, and click Install.
If the client is on a private network, you can use a computer that is connected to the
Internet to download the update installer from www.apple.com/support/downloads,
transfer the installer to the client computer, and run it.
2 Restart the client computer when prompted.
3 Upgrade the client to Xsan 1.1.
If you have an Xsan 1.1 installation disc, insert it in the computer and double-click
Install Xsan.mpkg.
If you don’t have the disc but the computer is connected to the Internet, you can open
the Software Update pane of System Preferences, click Check Now, select the Xsan
Update version 1.1 update, and click Install.
If the controller is on a private network, you can use a computer that is connected to
the Internet to download the update from www.apple.com/support/downloads,
transfer the installer to the client computer, and run it.
4 Restart the client when prompted by the installer.
5 Repeat steps 1 through 4 for each client in your SAN.
