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

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 17).
6. If you received a new license from HP, install it as described in “Licensing” (page 127).
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:
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. 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 161).
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.
