Step 3: Upgrade one controller to Mac OS X Server version 10.6

Xsan 2.2 requires Mac OS X v10.5.8 or v10.6. If you want to upgrade your metadata
controllers to Mac OS X Server v10.6, upgrade the first controller now. If you are
running Mac OS X Server v10.5 on your controllers and don’t want to upgrade to
v10.6, make sure you’re running v10.5.8 and then skip to the next step.

Important:

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

your primary controller (the controller hosting the SAN’s Open Directory master).
