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).
11. If you have an Express Query enabled file system prior to version 6.3, manually complete
each file system upgrade as described in “Required steps after the StoreAll Upgrade for pre-6.3
Express Query enabled file systems” (page 19).
Upgrading Linux StoreAll clients
Be sure to upgrade the cluster nodes before upgrading Linux StoreAll clients. Complete the following
steps on each client:
1. Download the latest HP StoreAll client 6.3 package.
2. Expand the tar file.
3. Run the upgrade script:
./ibrixupgrade -tc -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.
