It is recommended that you use a separate server specifically dedicated to run Open Directory so that the metadata controller handles only Xsan administration issues. Running a minimum of services on the metadata controller ensures that there is no latency in the token-passing operation. Run Server Admin to configure your server for Open Directory. You will select the service and change the server from Standalone Master to Open Directory Master. You will need to set up a separate account for the Directory Administrator.
