• The HTTP WebDAV share might not let you create a file or folder with the following message:
You don’t have permission to do this action.
Workaround: Remount the WebDAV share by entering the following command:
net use * http://192.168.1.1/smita/
In this instance, the HTTP WebDAV share is 192.168.1.1/smita.
• The automated offline upgrade appears confused by clusters with more than 10 nodes. This issue
results in the upgrade failing when it attempts to connect via SSH to a filename rather than to a
server.
Workaround: Move the Active Fusion Manager (FM) back to the initial node by using the following
process:
1. From the current Active FM, disable failover across the cluster by entering the following
command:
ibrix_fm -m nofmfailover -A
NOTE: The above command does not place the local/Active FM in nofmfailover mode.
2. Make the desired node passive by entering the following command:
ibrix_fm -m passive -h <nodename>
3. Wait 1 minute for the commands to complete.
4. Place the current Active FM into 'nofmfailover' mode, this will trigger the migration by entering
the following command:
ibrix_fm -m nofmfailover
5. Wait another minute, after which, you should find the Active FM on the desired node. Verify
FM is at the correct node by entering the following command:
ibrix_fm -i
6. From the Active FM, place the rest of the nodes back into Passive mode by entering the
following command:
ibrix_fm -m passive -A
• During an upgrade from 6.1 to 6.2.1, if there is I/O work load on a file serving node, the HP-SMB
services might not start itself after upgrade. This could make the SMB share not accessible from
that node. To recover from this situation, restart the HP-SMB services after upgrade if there is a
share access issue after upgrade.
