Upgrading to Xsan 2.2

To add a new controller:

1

Open Xsan Admin (the new 2.2 version) on either of the new controllers or on an

admin computer and follow the instructions in the SAN Assistant to connect to the
existing SAN.

2

When the Xsan Admin window appears, select Computers in the SAN Assets list.

3

Click the Add (+) button.

To promote an existing Intel-based client:

1

Open Xsan Admin (the new 2.2 version) and select Computers from the SAN Assets list.

2

Select the Intel-based client and choose Make Controller from the Action (gear) pop-

up menu.

Don’t be concerned if a message appears stating that an Open Directory replica can’t
be created on a computer running a different version of Mac OS X Server. You remove
older controllers in a later step.
