Version: 6.1.2 Description This release provides the new HP IBRIX X9730 Network Storage System and updates to HP IBRIX X9000 File Serving Software and to HP IBRIX X9300, X9320, and X9720 systems.
Other supported software Software Supported versions Linux X9000 clients • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7 (all 64 bit) nl • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Updates 5, 6, 7, 8 (all 64 bit) • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (64 bit) • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP3 (64 bit) • openSUSE 11.1 (64 bit) • CentOS 4.5, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.
• Monitoring of chassis, storage, and server components on X9720/X9730 systems. You can display component status on the GUI or with the ibrix_chassis, ibrix_pv, and ibrix_health commands. • Support for Antivirus software. • New ibrix_evacuate command to move data from one segment to another. This feature was previously provided with the ibrix_rebalance command. • New upgrade60.sh utility to upgrade pre-6.0 file systems for software snapshots.
ibrix_fs_tune -c -d -f FSNAME • Remote replication now supports replicating from a 5.x cluster to a 6.1.x cluster, or from a 6.1.x cluster to a 5.x cluster. Although 6.1 to 5.x replication is supported, HP recommends that the target version not be lower than the source version when replicating. The following table lists the supported replications. IBRIX version on source IBRIX version on target 6.1.x 6.1.x 6.1.x 5.6.x 5.6.x 6.1.x 6.0 6.
• When nodes were rebooted or a file system was mounted or unmounted, files and folders that were moved, renamed, or deleted on the file system were also deleted on snapshots that existed before the unmount or reboot. After the cluster is upgraded to 6.1.2, all future snapshots are protected from these deletions. However, at least one snapshot should be taken of all snapshots that existed before the upgrade to protect objects from being deleted.
• The HP IBRIX X9000 Network Storage System File System User Guide and HP IBRIX X9000 Network Storage System CLI Reference Guide needed more information about deleting directories containing snapshots. • Data tiering could result in zero length files. Software snapshots Upgrading pre-6.0 file systems for snapshots To accommodate software snapshots, the inode format was changed in the 6.0 release. Consequently, files used for snapshots must either be created on X9000 File Serving Software 6.

The workaround is to determine the device that is down and then bring up that device manually. For example, if bond0 is made up of eth4 and eth5, use ifcfg to determine which device is down. Then use ifup to bring up the device, such as ifup eth4.
• The ibrix_localusers -i command fails if the user information includes commas. To enter commas in the user information, use the management console GUI instead of the CLI. • When you use the Windows security tab to add local users or groups to a security ACL on a CIFS file (for either file or share-level permissions), you typically specify the user to add as either a DOMAIN\username or a MACHINE\username.
LDAP • When configuring LDAP on the GUI, double quotes are not supported in any fields of the LDAP configuration window, including the password field. Also, escaped slashes are not supported. If you enter \\; it will be parsed literally as \\ instead of \. Also, the ibrix_ldapconfig command supports double quotes only at the beginning and end of a value. For example: ibrix_ldapconfig -a -h 10.30.239.174 -b "cn=Manager,dc=ldapx,dc=net" -p "mypassword " The command does not support escaped slashes.
• No alert is generated if the continuous remote replication target becomes unavailable. Confirm the connection to the target system by issuing a ping command and by inspecting ibrcfrworker.log. • Sparse files on the source file system are replicated unsparse on the target. That is, all blocks corresponding to the file size are allocated on the target cluster.

Antivirus support • If McAfee is used as a virus scan engine, when virus definitions are updated on the virus scan engine, the updated definitions are not sent automatically to the IBRIX servers. To correct this condition, request hotfix HF692368 from McAfee.
node where the collection failed. To determine the exact cause of a failure during collection, see the following logs: ◦ /usr/local/ibrix/log/fusionserver.log ◦ /usr/local/ibrix/log/ibrixcollect/ibrixcollect.py.log • Email notifications do not include information about failed attempts to collect the cluster configuration. • In some situations, ibrix_collect successfully collects information after a system crash but fails to report a completed collection.
This error message occurs because the file system exceeds TB. (This situation will be corrected in a future release.) To disable logging, edit the script /opt/hp/hp-snmp-agents/server/ etc/cmahostd and remove the option -l . Then restart the agents using service hp-snmp-agents restart. If you want to keep logging enabled, be aware that the log messages occur frequently, and you will need to monitor and clean up the log file regularly to avoid filling the file system.
(execute /etc/init.d/ipmi start). The standard RHEL IMPI will now start automatically when the server is booted. • During server migration or failover, certain cluster events will be reported as alerts. These events are expected and normal, and are reported temporarily as a server is failing over to another server. • Node failover does not occur when a node has a complete loss of power (for example, removing power cords or pulling a blade from a chassis). Do not test high availability in this manner.
ibrixinit command The syntax for the ibrixinit command is shown incorrectly in the HP IBRIX X9000 Network Storage System Installation Guide.
