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

files must be upgraded for retention features. To upgrade a file system, use the
ibrix_reten_adm -u -f FSNAME command. Additional steps are required before
and after you run the ibrix_reten_adm -u -f FSNAME command. For more
information, see “Upgrading pre-6.1.1 file systems for data retention features” (page 161).
5. If you have an Express Query enabled file system prior to version 6.3, manually complete
each file system upgrade as described in “Required steps after the StoreAll Upgrade for pre-6.3
Express Query enabled file systems” (page 19).

Preparing for the upgrade
To prepare for the upgrade, complete the following steps:
1. Make sure you have completed all steps in the upgrade checklist (Table 1 (page 9)).
2. Stop all client I/O to the cluster or file systems. On the Linux client, use lsof </mountpoint>
to show open files belonging to active processes.
3. Verify that all StoreAll file systems can be successfully unmounted from all FSN servers:
ibrix_umount -f fsname
Performing the upgrade
This upgrade method is supported only for upgrades from StoreAll software 6.x to the 6.3 release.
Complete the following steps:
1. This release is only available through the registered release process. To obtain the ISO image,
contact HP Support to register for the release and obtain access to the software dropbox.
2. Ensure that the /local/ibrix/ folder is empty prior to copying the contents of pkgfull.
The upgrade will fail if the /local/ibrix/ folder contains leftover .rpm packages not listed
in the build manifest.
3. Mount the pkg-full ISO image and copy the entire directory structure to the /local/ibrix/
directory, as shown in the following example:
mount -o loop
/local/pkg/ibrix-pkgfull-FS_6.3.72+IAS_6.3.72-x86_64.signed.iso
/mnt/
4. Change the permissions of all components in the /local/ibrix/ directory structure by
entering the following command:
chmod -R 777 /local/ibrix/
5. Change to the /local/ibrix/ directory.
cd /local/ibrix/
6. Run the following upgrade script:
./auto_ibrixupgrade
The upgrade script automatically stops the necessary services and restarts them when the
upgrade is complete. The upgrade script installs the Fusion Manager on all file serving nodes.
The Fusion Manager is in active mode on the node where the upgrade was run, and is in
passive mode on the other file serving nodes. If the cluster includes a dedicated Management
Server, the Fusion Manager is installed in passive mode on that server.
7. Upgrade Linux StoreAll clients. See “Upgrading Linux StoreAll clients” (page 17).
8. If you received a new license from HP, install it as described in “Licensing” (page 127).
