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

ibrix_cifsconfig -t -S "smb_signing_enabled=0,
smb_signing_required=0"
ibrix_cifsconfig -t -S "ignore_writethru=1"
The SMB signing feature specifies whether clients must support SMB signing to access SMB
shares. See the HP StoreAll Storage File System User Guide for more information about this
feature. Whenignore_writethru is enabled, StoreAll software ignores writethru buffering
to improve SMB write performance on some user applications that request it.
7. Mount file systems on Linux StoreAll clients.
8. If the cluster network is configured on bond1, the 6.1 release requires that the Fusion Manager
VIF (Agile_Cluster_VIF) also be on bond1. To check your system, run the ibrix_nic -l
and ibrix_fm -f commands. Verify that the TYPE for bond1 is set to Cluster and that
the IP_ADDRESS for both nodes matches the subnet or network on which your management
consoles are registered. For example:
[root@ib121-121 fmt]# ibrix_nic -l
HOST IFNAME TYPE STATE IP_ADDRESS MAC_ADDRESS
BACKUP_HOST BACKUP_IF ROUTE VLAN_TAG LINKMON
----------------------------- ------- ------- ---------------------- ------------- -----------------
----------- ---------- ----- -------- -------
ib121-121 bond1 Cluster Up, LinkUp 10.10.121.121 10:1f:74:35:a1:30
No
ib121-122 bond1 Cluster Up, LinkUp 10.10.121.122 10:1f:74:35:83:c8
No
ib121-121 [Active FM Nonedit] bond1:0 Cluster Up, LinkUp (Active FM) 10.10.121.220
No
[root@ib121-121 fmt]# ibrix_fm -f
NAME IP ADDRESS
--------- ----------
ib121-121 10.10.121.121
ib121-122 10.10.121.122
If there is a mismatch on your system, you will see errors when connecting to ports 1234 and
9009. To correct this condition, see “Moving the Fusion Manager VIF to bond1” (page 184).
9. Because of a change in the inode format, files used for snapshots must either be created on
StoreAll 6.0 or later, or the pre-6.0 file system containing the files must be upgraded for
snapshots. For more information about upgrading a file system, see “Upgrading pre-6.1.1
file systems for data retention features” (page 181).
Upgrading Linux StoreAll clients
Be sure to upgrade the cluster nodes before upgrading Linux StoreAll clients. Complete the following
steps on each client:
1. Download the latest HP StoreAll client 6.1 package.
2. Expand the tar file.
3. Run the upgrade script:
./ibrixupgrade -f
The upgrade software automatically stops the necessary services and restarts them when the
upgrade is complete.
4. Execute the following command to verify the client is running StoreAll software:
/etc/init.d/ibrix_client status
IBRIX Filesystem Drivers loaded
IBRIX IAD Server (pid 3208) running...
The IAD service should be running, as shown in the previous sample output. If it is not, contact HP
Support.
Installing a minor kernel update on Linux clients
The StoreAll 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 StoreAll client software:
