Apple Xsan (upgrading to Xsan 1.4) - Manual (Page 18)

18 Chapter 2 Upgrading to Xsan 1.4 on Mac OS X version 10.4
Step 7: Optionally, upgrade client computers
Clients running Xsan 1.3 on Mac OS X v10.3.9 or on any version of Mac OS X v10.4 can
use volumes hosted by controllers running Xsan 1.4, so you don’t have to upgrade your
clients to Xsan 1.4. However, upgrading the client computers on your SAN is highly
recommended.
Note: You won’t be able to change the role of a client computer to controller unless
you upgrade the client to Xsan 1.4.
To upgrade client computers to Xsan 1.4:
1 Run the Mac OS X v10.4.7 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 Combined version 10.4.7
update (or later), 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 1.4.
If you have an Xsan 1.4 installation disc, insert it in the computer and double-click the
installation package 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 1.4
update, and click Install.
If the computer 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 above for each client on your SAN.
