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

1. On the node hosting the active management console, force a backup of the management
console configuration:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_fm -B
The output is stored at /usr/local/ibrix/tmp/fmbackup.zip. Be sure to save this file
in a location outside of the cluster.
2. On the active management console node, disable automated failover on all file serving nodes:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_server -m -U
3. Verify that automated failover is off:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_server -l
In the output, the HA column should display off.
4. On the node hosting the active management console, place the management console into
maintenance mode. This step fails over the active management console role to the node
currently hosting the passive agile management console.
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_fm -m maintenance -A
5. Wait approximately 60 seconds for the failover to complete, and then run the following
command on the node that was the target for the failover:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_fm -i
The command should report that the agile management console is now Active on this node.
6. From the node on which you failed over the active management console in step 4, change
the status of the management console from maintenance to passive:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_fm -m passive
7. On the node hosting the active management console, manually fail over the node now hosting
the passive management console:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_server -f -p -h HOSTNAME
Wait a few minutes for the node to reboot and then run the following command to verify that
the failover was successful. The output should report Up, FailedOver.
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_server -l
8. On the node hosting the active management console, place the management console into
maintenance mode:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_fm -m maintenance -A
This step fails back the active management console role to the node currently hosting the
passive agile management console (the node that originally was active).
9. Wait approximately 90 seconds for the failover to complete, and then run the following
command on the node that was the target for the failover:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_fm -i
The command should report that the agile management console is now Active on this node.
10. On the node with the active agile management console, move the <installer_dir>/
ibrix directory used in the previous release installation to ibrix.old. For example, if you
expanded the tarball in /root during the previous StoreAll installation on this node, the
installer is in
nl
/root/ibrix.
11. On the node with the active agile management console, expand the distribution tarball or
mount the distribution DVD in a directory of your choice. Expanding the tarball creates a
subdirectory named ibrix that contains the installer program. For example, if you expand
the tarball in
nl
/root, the installer is in /root/ibrix.
12. Change to the installer directory if necessary and run the upgrade:
./ibrixupgrade -f
