6.3 HP IBRIX X9720/StoreAll 9730 Storage Administrator Guide (AW549-96073, June 2013)

Wait up to 15 minutes for the file systems to unmount.
Troubleshoot any issues with unmounting file systems before proceeding with the upgrade.
See “File system unmount issues” (page 23).
13. On 9720 systems, delete the existing vendor storage:
ibrix_vs -d -n EXDS
The vendor storage will be registered automatically after the upgrade.
Performing the upgrade
This upgrade method is supported only for upgrades from StoreAll software 5.6.x to the 6.1 release.
Complete the following steps:
1. Obtain the latest HP StoreAll 6.1 ISO image from the StoreAll software dropbox. Contact HP
Support to register for the release and obtain access to the dropbox.
Mount the ISO image and copy the entire directory structure to the /root/ibrix/ directory
on the disk running the OS.
2. Change the permissions of all components in the /local/ibrix/ directory structure by
entering the following command:
chmod -R 777 /local/ibrix/
3. Change to the /local/ibrix/ directory.
cd /local/ibrix/
4. Run the following upgrade script:
./auto_ibrixupgrade
The upgrade script automatically stops the necessary services and restarts them when the
upgrade is complete. The upgrade script installs the Fusion Manager on all file serving nodes.
The Fusion Manager is in active mode on the node where the upgrade was run, and is in
passive mode on the other file serving nodes. If the cluster includes a dedicated Management
Server, the Fusion Manager is installed in passive mode on that server.
5. Upgrade Linux StoreAll clients. See “Upgrading Linux StoreAll clients” (page 18).
6. If you received a new license from HP, install it as described in “Licensing” (page 135).
After the upgrade
Complete the following steps:
1. Run the following command to rediscover physical volumes:
ibrix_pv -a
2. Apply any custom tuning parameters, such as mount options.
3. Remount all file systems:
ibrix_mount -f <fsname> -m </mountpoint>
4. Re-enable High Availability if used:
ibrix_server -m
5. Start any remote replication, rebalancer, or data tiering tasks that were stopped before the
upgrade.
6. If you are using SMB, set the following parameters to synchronize the SMB software and the
Fusion Manager database:
• smb signing enabled
• smb signing required
• ignore_writethru
Use ibrix_cifsconfig to set the parameters, specifying the value appropriate for your
cluster (1=enabled, 0=disabled). The following examples set the parameters to the default
values for the 6.1 release:
