6.1.3 HP IBRIX X9000 Release Notes (AW549-96057, December 2012)

The following output shows the relevant portion of the output from the ibrix_fs -f fsname -i
showing how newer segments (37,38,39) appear on a file system originally created with compatibility
mode enabled.
NOTE: The 9th column (“FFREE”) which is your total available inode count per segment for the
original segments 66 Million per segment and that of the newer 64 bit segments of 1 billion per
segment. This segment mix and inode count does not have any bad effect on the operation of your
file system nor any applications.
Implementation changes in the 6.1.1 release
• By default, file systems are now created in 64-bit mode. Note the following:
The ibrix_fs –o compat and ibrix_fs –o maxsegs commands are no longer
required or supported.
◦
◦ The same number of segments are now supported in 32-bit mode and 64-bit mode.
◦ If clients need to run 32-bit applications, you can enable 32-bit compatibility mode. This
option is applied to the file system at mount time. You can enable or disable 32-bit
compatibility mode at any time, using the Modify Filesystems Properties dialog box or the
following commands:
Enable 32-bit compatibility mode:
ibrix_fs_tune -c -e -f FSNAME
Disable 32-bit compatibility mode:
ibrix_fs_tune -c -d -f FSNAME
• Remote replication now supports replicating from a 5.x cluster to a 6.1.x cluster, or from a 6.1.x
cluster to a 5.x cluster. Although 6.1 to 5.x replication is supported, HP recommends that the
target version not be lower than the source version when replicating.
The following table lists the supported replications.
