Gluster users - Sep 2010 - Change First Server and Upgrade Procedure Help

Dear all Gluster Storage Platform,

I'm newbie with Gluster, and have built a test system with 5 node 
Gluster Storage Platform (GSP 3.0.5), and I have two questions that I 
couldn't find in FAQ Page:

1./ Is there a procedure to change the "Fisrt Node" to another Server 
(For example, we just purchased a new stronger server and want it to 
become and take over the First Node, so how do I do it?)
2./ Is there a procedure to upgrade system when have a new version 
release (I see GSP seems base on Fedora Core 11, so I wondering about 
easy method to upgrade system).

Tks you very much

Gluster Platform 3.0.5 doesn't have an option to switch first node.  However
upcoming version 3.1 has Distributed Management Console which allows admin to 
manage the cluster through any available node.

This is done through Gluster Subscription Network.  Please check it GSN update 
tab in the management console UI.

Thanks,
