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

4. Stop Matrix Server/HP Clustered File System on the server:

# /etc/init.d/pmxs stop

5. Back up the cluster configuration on the server, as described under Back up the

cluster configuration, page 15.

6. Perform a fresh installation of the operating system. See Appendix A, page 93

for operating system information.

7. Install the kernels RPM corresponding to your OS. This RPM contains the HP

Scalable NAS binary, source, and debug kernels.

# rpm -i pmxs-kernels-3.7.0-<xxxx>.<arch>.rpm

The installation creates the directory structure /opt/polyserve/lib/kernels.

RPMs for the binary, source, and debug kernels are in the kernels directory.

8. Install the appropriate HP Scalable NAS kernel. To install the binary kernel, run

the following command:

# rpm -ihv kernel-HPPS-<kernel-version>.370.<xxxx>.x86_64.rpm

After installing the RPM, verify the bootloader. Check the file /boot/grub/

menu.lst and verify that the default is set to the HP binary kernel.

NOTE:

If you need to compile third-party kernel modules or build a custom kernel,

see Appendix B, page 99.

9. Reboot the server.

10. Install HP Scalable NAS File Serving Software 3.7.0 from the product CD or the

location where you have downloaded the software.

# rpm -i <mountpoint>/pmxs-3.7.0-<xxxx>.<arch>.rpm

11. Run the mxcheck utility, which verifies that the server’s configuration meets the

requirements for running HP Scalable NAS. Issue the following command. Output

from the utility appears on the screen and is also written to the /var/opt/

hpcfs/mxcheck or /var/opt/polyserve/mxcheck directory. HP

recommends that you fix any problems identified by mxcheck before you

continue the upgrade.

# /opt/hpcfs/bin/mxcheck -l -p -t - install
