3. Run the upgrade script:
./ibrixupgrade -f
The upgrade software automatically stops the necessary services and restarts them when the
upgrade is complete.
4. Execute the following command to verify the client is running StoreAll software:
/etc/init.d/ibrix_client status
IBRIX Filesystem Drivers loaded
IBRIX IAD Server (pid 3208) running...
The IAD service should be running, as shown in the previous sample output. If it is not, contact HP
Support.
Installing a minor kernel update on Linux clients
The StoreAll client software is upgraded automatically when you install a compatible Linux minor
kernel update.
If you are planning to install a minor kernel update, first run the following command to verify that
the update is compatible with the StoreAll client software:
/usr/local/ibrix/bin/verify_client_update <kernel_update_version>
The following example is for a RHEL 4.8 client with kernel version 2.6.9-89.ELsmp:
# /usr/local/ibrix/bin/verify_client_update 2.6.9-89.35.1.ELsmp
nl
Kernel update 2.6.9-89.35.1.ELsmp is compatible.
If the minor kernel update is compatible, install the update with the vendor RPM and reboot the
system. The StoreAll client software is then automatically updated with the new kernel, and StoreAll
client services start automatically. Use the ibrix_version -l -C command to verify the kernel
version on the client.
NOTE: To use the verify_client command, the StoreAll client software must be installed.
Upgrading Windows StoreAll clients
Complete the following steps on each client:
1. Remove the old Windows StoreAll client software using the Add or Remove Programs utility
in the Control Panel.
2. Copy the Windows StoreAll client MSI file for the upgrade to the machine.
3. Launch the Windows Installer and follow the instructions to complete the upgrade.
4. Register the Windows StoreAll client again with the cluster and check the option to Start Service
after Registration.
5. Check Administrative Tools | Services to verify that the StoreAll client service is started.
6. Launch the Windows StoreAll client. On the Active Directory Settings tab, click Update to
retrieve the current Active Directory settings.
7. Mount file systems using the StoreAll Windows client GUI.
NOTE: If you are using Remote Desktop to perform an upgrade, you must log out and log back
in to see the drive mounted.
Upgrading pre-6.0 file systems for software snapshots
To support software snapshots, the inode format was changed in the StoreAll 6.0 release. The
upgrade60.sh utility upgrades a file system created on a pre-6.0 release, enabling software
snapshots to be taken on the file system.
The utility can also determine the needed conversions without actually performing the upgrade.
When using the utility, you should be aware of the following:
• The file system must be unmounted.
• Segments marked as BAD are not upgraded.
