Upgrade to Xsan 2.3

129

Disable Spotlight on a volume:

Open your current version of Xsan Admin.

In Xsan Admin, select Volumes in the SAN Assets list.

Select the volume and choose Edit Volume Settings from the Action pop-up menu (gear).

Click to deselect “Enable on this volume” next to Spotlight.

Step 3:

Upgrade the primary controller to Mac OS X Lion Server

To upgrade to Xsan 2.3, you must upgrade your metadata controllers to
Mac OS X Lion Server.

Important:

If you use Xsan Admin to manage SAN users and groups, upgrade your

primary controller (the controller hosting the SAN’s Open Directory master) before you
upgrade standby controllers.

Identify your Open Directory primary controller:
If you’re using Xsan Admin to manage users and groups, open Xsan Admin, select

Overview in the SAN Assets list, and look for the controller that has the user icon next
to its name. Upgrade that controller first.

Upgrade the controller to Mac OS X Lion Server:
Open the Mac App Store on the controller you want to upgrade, and purchase

Mac OS X Lion.
After you purchase Mac OS X Lion, the Mac OS X Install Assistant opens. It recognizes
that you’re upgrading from Mac OS X Server v10.6, and upgrades to Lion Server.
If the metadata controller you’re upgrading has Mac OS X Server v10.5, upgrade it to
v10.6 before purchasing Mac OS X Lion. After upgrading Mac OS X Server v10.5 to v10.6:

Use Software Update to update to the latest version of Mac OS X Server v10.6

Use Software Update to update to Xsan 2.2.1 or later.

You must update Xsan because there are underlying differences between Xsan 2.2
for Mac OS X Server v10.5 and Xsan 2.2 for Mac OS X Server v10.6.

Upgrading to Mac OS X Lion Server upgrades Xsan to version 2.3.

From this point forward, use Xsan Admin only on a computer with
Mac OS X Lion Server.

Step 4:

Upgrade the remaining controllers

Repeat step 3 on each additional SAN metadata controller. When all controllers have
Mac OS X Lion Server, which includes Xsan 2.3, continue with the next step.
