6.1.2 HP IBRIX X9000 Release Notes (AW549-96048, October 2012)

(execute /etc/init.d/ipmi start). The standard RHEL IMPI will now start automatically
when the server is booted.
• During server migration or failover, certain cluster events will be reported as alerts. These events
are expected and normal, and are reported temporarily as a server is failing over to another
server.
• Node failover does not occur when a node has a complete loss of power (for example, removing
power cords or pulling a blade from a chassis). Do not test high availability in this manner.
• The log files for user-initiated tasks (such as running ibrix_fsck and migrating or rebalancing
segments) are not rotated automatically. To control the space used by these log files, you will
need to maintain them manually. The log files are located in /usr/local/ibrix/log.
• NFS locks may return an error code (37) after an unlock operation even though the lock was
correctly released. If other results are normal, you can ignore this error code.
• On X9730 systems, the iLO can fail to power up a server when directed to do so from the iLO
web page or the iLO's Integrated Remote Console. To correct this condition, reset the iLO processor.
This can be done from the iLO web UI; select Reset on the Diagnostics page.
• After a server is rebooted following a QR install and before the server is configured, an error
message reports that the SRVSVCD service failed to load. The failure occurs because the service
requires that the network subsystem be configured. The error message can be safely ignored.
After the network is configured, restart the CIFS service.
Documentation changes and additions
File system support for 32-bit and 64-bit mode
The section “Creating a file system” on page 12 in the HP IBRIX X9000 Network Storage System File
System User Guide contains out-of-date information about 64-bit mode and 32-bit mode. In the 6.1.1
and later releases, file systems are created in 64-bit mode by default. See “Implementation changes
in the 6.1.1 release” (page 5) for more information.
The section “ibrix_fs” on page 54 in the HP IBRIX X9000 Network Storage System CLI Reference Guide
also contains out-of-date information about 64-bit mode and 32-bit mode.
Online upgrades with auto_online_ibrixupgrade
The auto_online_ibrixupgrade script runs firmware version and health checks before proceeding
with the upgrade. If any of the checks fail, the following message appears:
The cluster is not HA configured
The message then asks you to either continue with an offline upgrade or exit. Be sure that you want
to perform an offline upgrade before continuing.
Optionally, run the auto_online_ibrixupgrade script with options to skip the checks:
Skip health check-sh
Skip firmware version check-sf
Skip both heath and firmware version
checks
-sh -sf
Enabling quotas
The section “Enabling quotas on a file system and setting grace periods, ”on page 25 of the HP IBRIX
X9000 Network Storage System File System User Guide, should specify that the file system must be
unmounted when you enable quotas.
