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

20. If you installed an HBA driver in the previous step, run the following command
to load it:
# /etc/init.d/pmxs load
Then run the following command to see a list of devices and review the output
to verify that the SAN is configured as you expect.
# cat /proc/partitions
21. Check the mount points for the PSFS filesystems on the server (for example, u01,
u02), and recreate them if necessary to match the other servers in the cluster.
22. Start HP Scalable NAS on the node. (The Virtual Oracle instance will not start
as the Oracle environment is not yet complete.)
# /etc/init.d/pmxs start
23. Reintroduce Oracle-specific information. (Note that Oracle uids and gids on this
node must match the other nodes in the cluster.)
• The group file (/etc/group) contains entries for the dba and oinstall groups.
• The password file (/etc/passwd) contains an account for user oracle.
• Group pmxs includes user oracle.
• The oracle account has the correct password.
• The home directory for user oracle exists (for example, /home/oracle)
and has the appropriate Oracle environmental modifications.
• The PSFS filesystems used by Oracle (for example, /u01, /u02) are owned
by user oracle and group oinstall.
• /etc/oratab has been adjusted for the new environment. For example, it
specifies any new $ORACLE_HOME required by your migration process.
24. HP Scalable NAS includes a script called SizingActions that configures
certain operating system parameters to improve system performance. This script
must be disabled if you need to set Oracle-specific kernel parameters on the
upgraded server. (See “Determine whether the SizingActions script should be
used” on page 87 for more information about the script.) After disabling the
script, add the Oracle-specific kernel parameters to the /etc/sysctl file and
run the command sysctl -p to apply the changes.
25. Copy any local MxDB-Oracle-HiAv files (for example, custom startup scripts in
/opt/hpcfs/mxdb_oracle_ha/etc) to the server. (This is not typical).
26. If the servers have the same root password, copy the .matrixrc file from a
server that has already been upgraded to 3.7.0. Otherwise, create a new
.matrixrc file for the server. The file should be placed at /root/.matrixrc
on the server.
