Upgrading the file serving nodes hosting the management console
Complete the following steps:
1. On the node hosting the active management console, force a backup of the management console
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.
2. On the active management console node, disable automated failover on all file serving nodes:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_server -m -U
3. Verify that automated failover is off:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_server -l
In the output, the HA column should display off.
4. On the node hosting the active management console, place the management console into
maintenance mode. This step fails over the active management console role to the node currently
hosting the passive agile management console.
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_fm –m maintenance
5. Wait approximately 60 seconds for the failover to complete, and then run the following command
on the node that was the target for the failover:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_fm -i
The command should report that the agile management console is now Active on this node.
6. From the node on which you failed over the active management console in step 4, change the
status of the management console from maintenance to passive:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_fm -m passive
7. On the node hosting the active management console, manually fail over the node now hosting
the passive management console:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_server -f -p -h HOSTNAME
Wait a few minutes for the node to reboot and then run the following command to verify that the
failover was successful. The output should report Up, FailedOver.
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_server -l
8. On the node hosting the active management console, place the management console into
maintenance mode:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_fm –m maintenance
This step fails back the active management console role to the node currently hosting the passive
agile management console (the node that originally was active).
9. Wait approximately 90 seconds for the failover to complete, and then run the following command
on the node that was the target for the failover:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_fm -i
The command should report that the agile management console is now Active on this node.
10. On the node with the active agile management console, move the <installer_dir>/ibrix
directory used in the previous release installation to ibrix.old. For example, if you expanded
the tarball in /root during the previous X9000 installation on this node, the installer is in
nl
/root/ibrix.
