5.5.5 HP IBRIX X9000 Release Notes

Other operations
• A server failed with the error ASSERT[atomic_read(&(*pfs)->ref.ref_counter) !=
0] failed: Too many unreferencing.
• The fmbackup.zip file could become corrupted.
• Old snapshots were not deleted, preventing the snapshot retention policy from working properly.
• A race condition caused the system to fail with the error [exception RIP:
j_verifyThread+448] - corrupted pJournal->q_verify queue.
• A lock condition caused corruption in the management console database.
• The system failed with the error lwiod segfault in IbfsFreeSetAllocationContext.
Additional workarounds in 5.5.4
• When joining multiple X9720 systems into a single cluster, it is important that the ibrix_vs
command be used in the following manner.
Run the ibrix_vs command individually for each of the X9720 racks, as if they were stand-alone
systems. For example, if three X9720 systems will be joined together, the ibrix_vs command
must be run three times. The parameters used must be only for the system being addressed, not
the whole cluster (that is, the host names and IP addresses used must be for that system only). The
X9000 software will aggregate the data for the systems into the configuration.
• When joining a CIFS domain, the $ character cannot be used in passwords unless it is escaped
with a slash (\) and enclosed in single quotes (' '). For example:
ibrix_auth -n IB.LAB -A john -P 'password1\$like'
Corrected in 5.5.265
The following fixes were made in this release:
• When quotas were enabled on a directory, users could not use file system commands such as df
-k to obtain their directory quota status. In this release, file system commands now report size
and usage for a directory based on the quota limits set on that directory. To disable file system
reporting based on directory tree quota limits, use the ibrix_mount –o noquotstatfs option
when you mount the file.
• The GUI could not be accessed using port 80 or port 443.
• Changing or generating a quotatree id no longer changes the mtime and ctime of files contained
in the directory.
• A directory tree quota could not be deleted if its name contained a space.
• The Local Authentication feature allowed passwords to be entered only as text. In this release,
when adding or modifying local user accounts, you can now use the ibrix_localusers -n
option to specify that the password is being entered in NT hashed format.
• When a quota was exceeded, excessive quota error messages were generated in the /var/
log/messages log.
• An X9000 client running the Windows 2003 32-bit OS could consume non-paged pool memory,
causing the system to hang.
• The X9300/X9320 installer did not configure the user interface correctly.
• A deadlock situation caused the Windows X9000 client to hang.
