6.3 HP StoreAll 9300/9320 Storage Administrator Guide (AW549-96072, June 2013)

Upgrading the Statistics tool from StoreAll software 6.0
The statistics history is retained when you upgrade to version 6.1 or later.
The Statstool software is upgraded when the StoreAll software is upgraded using the
ibrix_upgrade and auto_ibrixupgrade scripts.
Note the following:
• If statistics processes were running before the upgrade started, those processes will automatically
restart after the upgrade completes successfully. If processes were not running before the
upgrade started, you must start them manually after the upgrade completes.
• If the Statistics tool was not previously installed, the StoreAll software upgrade installs the tool
but the Statistic processes are not started. For information about starting the processes,
see“Controlling Statistics tool processes” (page 104).
• Configurable parameters (such as age.retain.files=24h) set in the /etc/ibrix/
stats.conf file before the upgrade are not retained after the upgrade.
• After the upgrade, historical data and reports are moved from the /var/lib/ibrix/
histstats folder to the /local/statstool/histstats folder.
• The upgrade retains the Statistics tool database but not the reports. You can regenerate reports
for the data stored before the upgrade by specifying the date range. See “Generating reports”
(page 102).
Using the Historical Reports GUI
You can use the GUI to view or generate reports for the entire cluster or for a specific file serving
node. To open the GUI, select Historical Reports on the GUI dashboard.
NOTE: By default, installing the Statistics tool does not start the Statistics tool processes. The GUI
displays a message if the processes are not running on the active Fusion Manager. (No message
appears if the processes are already running on the active Fusion Manager, or if the processes
are not running on any of the passive management consoles.) See “Controlling Statistics tool
processes” (page 104) for information about starting the processes.
The statistics home page provides three views, or formats, for listing the reports. Following is the
Simple View, which sorts the reports according to type (hourly, daily, weekly, detail).
