Common issue across all upgrades from StoreAll 5.x
If you are upgrading from a StoreAll 5.x release, ensure that the NFS exports option
subtree_check is the default export option for every NFS export. The no_subtree_check
option is not compatible with the StoreAll OS software.
To add the subtree_check option, perform the following steps:
1. Unexport the NFS exports:
ibrix_exportfs -h <HOSTLIST> -p <CLIENT1:PATHNAME1>
2. Create NFS exports with the subtree_check option:
ibrix_exportfs –f <FSNAME> -p <CLIENT1:PATHNAME1> -o "subtree_check"
NOTE: Multiple options can be specified by using the –o parameter by separating each
option by a comma (for example, -o rw,subtree_check).
3. Complete steps 1 and 2 for every NFS export.
4. Verify that all NFS exports have the subtree_check option set:
ibrix_exportfs –l
Upgrading the StoreAll software to the 6.1 release
This section describes how to upgrade to the latest StoreAll software release. The Fusion Manager
and all file serving nodes must be upgraded to the new release at the same time.
Upgrades to the StoreAll software 6.1 release are supported for systems currently running StoreAll
software 5.6.x and 6.x.
If your system is currently running StoreAll software 5.4.x, first upgrade to 5.5.x, then upgrade to
5.6.x, and then upgrade to 6.1. See “Upgrading the StoreAll software to the 5.5 release”
(page 167).
If your system is currently running StoreAll software 5.5.x, upgrade to 5.6.x and then upgrade to
6.1. See “Upgrading the StoreAll software to the 5.6 release” (page 163).
IMPORTANT: If you are upgrading from a StoreAll 5.x release:
• Ensure that the NFS exports option subtree_check is the default export option for every
NFS export. See “Common issue across all upgrades from StoreAll 5.x” (page 154) for more
information.
• Any support tickets collected with the ibrix_supportticket command will be deleted
during the upgrade. Before upgrading to 6.1.4, download a copy of the archive files (.tgz)
from the /admin/platform/diag/supporttickets directory.
