6.3 HP StoreAll 9300/9320 Storage Administrator Guide (AW549-96072, June 2013)

The upgrade takes approximately 45 minutes for 9320 systems with a standard configuration.
NOTE: If you are upgrading from a StoreAll 5.x release, any support tickets collected with the
ibrix_supportticket command will be deleted during the upgrade. Download a copy of the
archive files (.tgz) from the /admin/platform/diag/supporttickets directory.
Automatic upgrades
All file serving nodes and management consoles must be up when you perform the upgrade. If a
node or management console is not up, the upgrade script will fail. To determine the status of your
cluster nodes, check the dashboard on the GUI or use the ibrix_health command.
To upgrade all nodes in the cluster automatically, complete the following steps:
1. Check the dashboard on the management console GUI to verify that all nodes are up.
2. Obtain the latest release image from the HP kiosk at http://www.software.hp.com/kiosk (you
will need your HP-provided login credentials).
3. Copy the release .iso file onto the current active management console.
4. Run the following command, specifying the location of the local iso copy as the argument:
/usr/local/ibrix/setup/upgrade <iso>
The upgrade script performs all necessary upgrade steps on every server in the cluster and
logs progress in the file /usr/local/ibrix/setup/upgrade.log. After the script
completes, each server will be automatically rebooted and will begin installing the latest
software.
5. After the install is complete, the upgrade process automatically restores node-specific
configuration information and the cluster should be running the latest software. If an UPGRADE
FAILED message appears on the active management console, see the specified log file for
details.
Manual upgrades
The manual upgrade process requires external storage that will be used to save the cluster
configuration. Each server must be able to access this media directly, not through a network, as
the network configuration is part of the saved configuration. HP recommends that you use a USB
stick or DVD.
NOTE: Be sure to read all instructions before starting the upgrade procedure.
To determine which node is hosting the agile management console configuration, run the ibrix_fm
-i command.
Preparing for the upgrade
Complete the following steps:
1. Ensure that all nodes are up and running.
2. On the active management console node, disable automated failover on all file serving nodes:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_server -m -U
3. Run the following command to verify that automated failover is off. In the output, the HA column
should display off.
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_server -l
4. On the active management console node, stop the NFS and SMB services on all file serving
nodes to prevent NFS and SMB clients from timing out.
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix _server -s -t cifs -c stop
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix _server -s -t nfs -c stop
Verify that all likewise services are down on all file serving nodes:
ps -ef | grep likewise
Use kill -9 to kill any likewise services that are still running.
