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

Upgrading pre-6.1.1 file systems for data retention features
Data retention was automatically enabled for file systems created with StoreAll 6.1.1 or later. If
you want to enable data retention for file systems created with StoreAll 6.0 or earlier, run the
ibrix_reten_adm -u command, as described in this section.
To enable data retention:
1. If you have a pre-6.0 file system, run the upgrade60.sh utility, as described in Section
(page 161).
2. Run the following command on a node that has the file system mounted:
ibrix_reten_adm -u -f FSNAME
In this instance, FSNAME is the name of the file system you want to upgrade for data retention
features.
The command enables data retention and unmounts the file system on the node.
3. After the command finishes upgrading the file system, re-mount the file system.
4. Enter the ibrix_fs command to set the file system’s data retention and autocommit period
to the desired values. See the HP StoreAll Storage CLI Reference Guide for additional
information about the ibrix_fs command.
Troubleshooting upgrade issues
If the upgrade does not complete successfully, check the following items. For additional assistance,
contact HP Support.
Automatic upgrade
Check the following:
• If the initial execution of /usr/local/ibrix/setup/upgrade fails, check
/usr/local/ibrix/setup/upgrade.log for errors. It is imperative that all servers are
up and running the StoreAll software before you execute the upgrade script.
• If the install of the new OS fails, power cycle the node. Try rebooting. If the install does not
begin after the reboot, power cycle the machine and select the upgrade line from the grub
boot menu.
• After the upgrade, check /usr/local/ibrix/setup/logs/postupgrade.log for errors
or warnings.
• If configuration restore fails on any node, look at
/usr/local/ibrix/autocfg/logs/appliance.log on that node to determine which
feature restore failed. Look at the specific feature log file under /usr/local/ibrix/setup/
logs/ for more detailed information.
To retry the copy of configuration, use the following command:
/usr/local/ibrix/autocfg/bin/ibrixapp upgrade -f -s
• If the install of the new image succeeds, but the configuration restore fails and you need to
revert the server to the previous install, run the following command and then reboot the machine.
This step causes the server to boot from the old version (the alternate partition).
/usr/local/ibrix/setup/boot_info -r
• If the public network interface is down and inaccessible for any node, power cycle that node.
NOTE: Each node stores its ibrixupgrade.log file in /tmp.
