Re: Leopard Server 10.5.2 as a Secondary MDC on XSAN 1.4.2 ??

I don't think so.  The rules for supported versions say that the MDC servers must be running the highest versions of the OS and Xsan software, and I think that means both/all of the MDCs.  From what Apple support told me, you *can* bring up an MDC running 10.5.2 as a secondary, fail the primary over to the secondary, then upgrade the primary to also be running 10.5.2.  My take on this approach is that you shouldn't leave the MDCs running different OSes for very long though, since you would run the risk of a volume failing back from the 10.5.x MDC to the 10.4.x MDC.

Hi.
I recently installed Leopard 10.5.2 server that I want to use
as a MDC on my Xsan 1.4.2 configuration.

That said, I have another machine running OS X Tiger Server 10.4.11
that acts as a Primary MDC on a 1.4.2 Xsan. That server is connected to
a Brocade Fiber Switch and 2x XRaid boxes.


Will I be able to install and configure 10.5.2 Server as secondary MDC
into existing Xsan network ? And maby configure it as Primary in time ?



Server1 : Primary MDC. OS X Tiger 10.4.11 - Xsan 1.4.2
Server2 : Secondary MDC. OS X Leopard 10.5.2 -> ?
