5.6 HP StorageWorks X9320 Network Storage System Administrator Guide (AW542-96006, June 2011)

1. Check the dashboard on the management console GUI to verify that all nodes are up.
2. If file systems are mounted from Windows X9000 clients, unmount them using the X9000
Windows client configuration wizard.
3. Obtain the latest release image from the HP kiosk at http://www.software.hp.com/kiosk (you
will need your HP-provided login credentials).
4. Copy the release .iso file onto the current active management console.
5. Run the following command, specifying the absolute location of the local iso copy as the
argument:
/usr/local/ibrix/setup/upgrade <iso>
The upgrade script performs all necessary upgrade steps on every server in the cluster and
logs progress in the file /usr/local/ibrix/setup/upgrade.log. After the script
completes, each server will be automatically rebooted and will begin installing the latest
software.
6. After the install is complete, the upgrade process automatically restores node-specific
configuration information and the cluster should be running the latest software. If an UPGRADE
FAILED message appears on the active management console, see the specified log file for
details.
7. Remount all previously mounted X9000 Software file systems on Windows X9000 clients using
the X9000 Windows client GUI.
8. Upgrade X9000 clients. See “Upgrading Linux X9000 clients” (page 73) and “Upgrading
Windows X9000 clients” (page 73).
9. If you received a new license from HP, install it as described in the “Licensing” chapter in this
guide.
Manual upgrades
The manual upgrade process requires external storage that will be used to save the cluster
configuration. Each server must be able to access this media directly, not through a network, as
the network configuration is part of the saved configuration. HP recommends that you use a USB
stick or DVD.
NOTE: If you are using a dedicated Management Server and want to convert to an agile
management console configuration, see “Migrating to an agile management console” (page 64).
Complete the migration first, and then perform the upgrade using the agile upgrade procedure.
NOTE: Be sure to read all instructions before starting the upgrade procedure.
To determine which node is hosting the agile management console configuration, run the ibrix_fm
-i command.
Preparing for the upgrade
Complete the following steps:
1. Ensure that all nodes are up and running.
2. If you are using a dedicated Management Server, skip this step. For an agile configuration,
on all nodes hosting the passive management console, place the management console into
maintenance mode:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_fm –m maintenance
3. On the active management console node, disable automated failover on all file serving nodes:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_server -m -U
