Completing the upgrade
1. Remount all file systems:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_mount -f <fsname> -m </mountpoint>
2. From the management console, turn automated failover back on:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_server -m
3. Confirm that automated failover is enabled:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_server -l
In the output, HA displays on.
4. From the management console, perform a manual backup of the upgraded configuration:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_fm -B
5. Upgrade X9000 Clients:
• For Linux clients, see Upgrading Linux X9000 clients, page 88.
• For Windows clients, see Upgrading Windows X9000 clients, page 89.
6. 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.
7. Verify the health of the cluster:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_health -l
The output should show Passed / on.
8. If you received a new license from HP, install it as described in the “Licensing” chapter in this
document.
Agile upgrade for clusters with an agile management console configuration
Use these procedures if your cluster has an agile management console configuration. The X9000
Software 5.4.x to 5.5 upgrade can be performed either online or offline. Future releases may require
offline upgrades.
If you are currently running the 5.4 release with a standard management console and want to convert
to an agile management console configuration, see Chapter 10. Migrate to the agile management
console first, and then perform the upgrade.
NOTE:
Be sure to read all instructions before starting the upgrade procedure.
Agile online upgrade
Perform the agile online upgrade in the following order:
• File serving node hosting the active management console
• File serving node hosting the passive management console
• Remaining file serving nodes and X9000 clients
