3.7.0 HP StorageWorks HP Scalable NAS File Serving Software upgrade guide HP Scalable NAS for Linux (AG513-96005, October 2009)

2. Upgrade the first node and import the cluster configuration from a node running
3.5.1.
3. Run the MxReg migration tool on all remaining nodes. This tool halts vhost NFS
file serving and exports the MxReg data.
4. Upgrade the remaining nodes to HP Scalable NAS and FS Option 3.7.0.
5. Reestablish all NFS client connections.
6. Complete the post-upgrade steps described in Chapter 7, page 81.
Order for upgrading servers
Servers must be upgraded one-at-a-time during the upgrade. The server with the
numerically highest primary IP address must be upgraded first. Then continue to
upgrade the servers in descending order of IP address, with the server with the lowest
primary IP address being upgraded last.
If you have two networks and the IP addresses are ordered differently on each
network, you will need to determine the IP addresses by which the servers are known
to the cluster and then use those addresses to determine the order for the upgrade.
For example, the servers could have the following network interfaces:
server srv1: network interfaces 10.10.1.1 and 11.10.2.3
server srv2: network interfaces 10.10.1.2 and 11.10.2.2
server srv3: network interfaces 10.10.1.3 and 11.10.2.1
Run the command mx --numeric server status to determine the IP addresses
known to the cluster. In our example, the output is as follows and indicates that srv3
(primary IP address 10.10.1.3) should be upgraded first.
10.10.1.1
10.10.1.2
10.10.1.3
