menu.
3 Click to select “Enable on this volume” next to Spotlight.

Step 1: Back up your SAN volumes
Before you begin, make a backup copy of the files on your SAN volumes.

If you’re going to upgrade your SAN computers to Mac OS X v10.6, disable Spotlight
on all Xsan volumes during the upgrade. If you’re upgrading only Xsan, skip to the
next step.
