Step 10: Add the remaining Intel-based computers to the SAN

If you’re replacing other computers in the SAN with Intel-based systems, add the
remaining Intel-based computers to the SAN now.

To add computers to the SAN:

1

Connect the computers to the SAN’s Ethernet and Fibre Channel networks. If necessary,

remove old computers to make ports available.

2

If you want, upgrade the new computers to Mac OS X v10.6.

Important:

If any SAN client is running Mac OS X v10.6, all controllers must also be

running Mac OS X v10.6.

3

Install Xsan 2.2 on each new computer.

4

Use Xsan Admin to add the new computers to the SAN. (Open Xsan Admin, select

Computers in the SAN Assets list, and click the Add (+) button.
