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

4. Change to the /local/ibrix/ directory.
cd /local/ibrix/
5. Run the upgrade script and follow the on-screen directions:
./auto_online_ibrixupgrade
6. Upgrade Linux StoreAll clients. See “Upgrading Linux StoreAll clients” (page 17).
7. If you received a new license from HP, install it as described in “Licensing” (page 127).
After the upgrade
Complete these steps:
1. Start any remote replication, rebalancer, or data tiering tasks that were stopped before the
upgrade.
2. If your cluster includes G6 servers, check the iLO2 firmware version. The firmware must be at
version 2.05 for HA to function properly. If your servers have an earlier version of the iLO2
firmware, download iLO2 version 2.05 using the following URL and copy the firmware update
to each G6 server. Follow the installation instructions noted in the URL. This issue does not
affect G7 servers.

3. A change in the inode format impacts files used for:
• Snapshots. Files used for snapshots must either be created on StoreAll software 6.0 or
later, or the pre-6.0 file system containing the files must be upgraded for snapshots. To
upgrade a file system, use the upgrade60.sh utility. For more information, see
“Upgrading pre-6.0 file systems for software snapshots” (page 159).
• Data retention. Files used for data retention (including WORM and auto-commit) must be
created on StoreAll software 6.1.1 or later, or the pre-6.1.1 file system containing the
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).
Offline upgrades for StoreAll software 5.6.x or 6.0.x to 6.1
Preparing for the upgrade
To prepare for the upgrade, complete the following steps:
1. Ensure that all nodes are up and running. To determine the status of your cluster nodes, check
the dashboard on the GUI or use the ibrix_health command.
2. Verify that ssh shared keys have been set up. To do this, run the following command on the
node hosting the active instance of the agile Fusion Manager:
ssh <server_name>
Repeat this command for each node in the cluster.
3. Note any custom tuning parameters, such as file system mount options. When the upgrade is
complete, you can reapply the parameters.
4. Ensure that no active tasks are running. Stop any active remote replication, data tiering, or
rebalancer tasks running on the cluster. (Use ibrix_task -l to list active tasks.) When the
upgrade is complete, you can start the tasks again.
5. The 6.1 release requires that nodes hosting the agile management be registered on the cluster
network. Run the following command to verify that nodes hosting the agile Fusion Manager
have IP addresses on the cluster network:
ibrix_fm -f
