3. Upgrade X9000 Clients:
• For Linux clients, see Upgrading Linux X9000 clients, page 88.
• For Windows clients, see Upgrading Windows X9000 clients, page 89.
4. Verify that all version indicators match for file serving nodes and X9000 Clients. Run the following
command from the management console:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_version –l
If there is a version mismatch, run the /ibrix/ibrixupgrade -f script again on the affected
node, and then recheck the versions. The installation is successful when all version indicators
match. If you followed all instructions and the version indicators do not match, contact HP Support.
5. Propagate a new segment map for the cluster:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_dbck -I -f FSNAME
6. Verify the health of the cluster:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_health -l
The output should specify Passed / on.
7. If you received a new license from HP, install it as described in the “Licensing” chapter in this
guide.
Standard offline upgrade
This upgrade procedure is appropriate for major upgrades. The management console must be upgraded
first. You can then upgrade file serving nodes or X9000 Clients in any order.
Preparing for the upgrade
1. From the management console, disable automated failover on all file serving nodes:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_server -m -U
2. From the management console, verify that automated failover is off. In the output, the HA column
should display off.
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_server -l
3. Stop the NFS and SMB services on all file serving nodes to prevent NFS and CIFS clients from
timing out:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_server -s -t cifs -c stop
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_server -s -t nfs -c stop
Verify that all likewise services are down on all file serving nodes:
ps –ef | grep likewise
Use kill -9 to kill any likewise services that are still running.
4. From the management console, unmount all X9000 file systems:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_umount -f <fsname>
Upgrading the management console
Complete the following steps on the management console:
1. Force a backup of the configuration:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_fm -B
The output is stored at /usr/local/ibrix/tmp/fmbackup.zip. Be sure to save this file in
a location outside of the cluster.
