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

5. Change to the /local/ibrix/ directory, and then run the upgrade script:
cd /local/ibrix/
./ibrixupgrade —f
The upgrade script automatically stops the necessary services and restarts them when the
upgrade is complete. The upgrade script installs the Fusion Manager on the server.
6. After completing the previous steps for the server running the active Fusion Manager, repeat
the steps for each of the servers running the passive Fusion Manager.
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).
After the upgrade
Complete the following steps:
1. If your cluster nodes contain any 10Gb NICs, reboot these nodes to load the new driver. You
must do this step before you upgrade the server firmware, as requested later in this procedure.
2. Upgrade your firmware as described in “Upgrading firmware” (page 128).
3. Run the following command to rediscover physical volumes:
ibrix_pv -a
4. Apply any custom tuning parameters, such as mount options.
5. Remount all file systems:
ibrix_mount -f <fsname> -m </mountpoint>
6. Re-enable High Availability if used:
ibrix_server -m
7. Start any remote replication, rebalancer, or data tiering tasks that were stopped before the
upgrade.
8. If you are using SMB, set the following parameters to synchronize the SMB software and the
Fusion Manager database:
• smb signing enabled
• smb signing required
• ignore_writethru
Use ibrix_cifsconfig to set the parameters, specifying the value appropriate for your
cluster (1=enabled, 0=disabled). The following examples set the parameters to the default
values for the 6.3 release:
ibrix_cifsconfig -t -S "smb_signing_enabled=0,
smb_signing_required=0"
ibrix_cifsconfig -t -S "ignore_writethru=1"
The SMB signing feature specifies whether clients must support SMB signing to access SMB
shares. See the HP StoreAll Storage File System User Guide for more information about this
feature. When ignore_writethru is enabled, StoreAll software ignores writethru buffering
to improve SMB write performance on some user applications that request it.
9. Mount file systems on Linux StoreAll clients.
10. If you have a file system version prior to version 6, you might have to make changes for
snapshots and data retention, as mentioned in the following list:
• 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
