Re: Upgrading 1.4.2 to 2.1



Andy,

From what I've heard from many integrators and Apple support, the bulletproof way to upgrade is to back up the data to another storage, build the Xsan 2 solution from a scratch and move the data back. Upgrading metadata from 1.4.2 to 2.1 is still pretty risky.

Thank you,

Vitali Bystritski

Hi all,

I'm about to upgrade an Xsan installation from 1.4.2 to 2.1.

I've read the Migration Guide, and I just want to sanity check a few things with the knowledgeable folks here.

1) After you unmount/stop all the volumes, you run the Xsan installer on each MDC and client. Do you then update to 2.1.1 without opening Xsan Admin?

2) Do you have to open Xsan Admin on an MDC first, or does it not matter?

3) Do the clients/MDCs remember their previous role, or do they need to be configured in SAN Setup again?

4) Roughly how long does the filesystem upgrade take, say per TB?

And lastly,

5) What can go wrong that I should look out for?

Cheers.
Andy.
