6.0.1 HP IBRIX X9000 Release Notes

• The log files for user-initiated tasks (such as running ibrix_fsck and migrating or rebalancing
segments) are not rotated automatically. To control the space used by these log files, you will
need to maintain them manually. The log files are located in /usr/local/ibrix/log.
• NFS locks may return an error code (37) after an unlock operation even though the lock was
correctly released. If other results are normal, you can ignore this error code.
• Clients cannot view files containing Korean characters on an FTP share. To resolve this, set the
LANG variable to ko_KR.euckr.
Documentation additions
Following are additions to the X9000 documentation.
Updates to the Statistics tool documentation
The following changes apply to the chapter “Using the Statistics tool” in the administrator guides:
• The default value for the aging configuration parameter is now 24h (24 hours). Steps 4 and 5 in
the section “Enabling collection and synchronization” are now unnecessary.
• Historical data and reports are now written to /local/statstool/histstats by default. It
is no longer necessary to create a symbolic link to this folder, as described in the sections
”Maintaining the Statistics tool” and “Management console failover and the Statistics tool
configuration.” Also, it is no longer necessary to perform the backup steps listed under
“Management console failover and the Statistics tool configuration.”
Installing a minor kernel update on Linux clients
The X9000 client software is upgraded automatically when you install a compatible Linux minor kernel
update. If you are planning to install a minor kernel update, first run the following command to verify
that the update is compatible with the X9000 client software:
/usr/local/ibrix/bin/verify_client_update <kernel_update_version>
The following example is for a RHEL 4.8 client with kernel version 2.6.9-89.ELsmp:
# /usr/local/ibrix/bin/verify_client_update 2.6.9-89.35.1.ELsmp
nl
Kernel update 2.6.9-89.35.1.ELsmp is compatible.
If the minor kernel update is compatible, install the update with the vendor RPM and reboot the system.
The X9000 client software is then automatically updated with the new kernel, and X9000 client services
start automatically. Use the ibrix_version -l -C command to verify the kernel version on the
client.
