6.2.4 HP StoreAll Storage Release Notes (AW549-96071, April 2013)

• Root segment evacuation fails on a file system that has express query and retention enabled.
Before running segment evacuation, disable Express Query by entering the ibrix_archiving
-S command. You can re-enable Express Query after segment evacuation completes. To enable
Express Query, enter the ibrix_archiving -s command.
• In certain cases where files created by MDExport or ibrix_audit_reports are very large,
in the millions of files range, the MDImport tool cannot successfully import the files. To allow the
files to be imported, break up the output files into smaller files, on row (line) boundaries, and use
the MDImport tool to import each of the files.
Management console
• If you need to make cluster configuration changes such as adding, extending, or deleting a file
system, be sure that at least two file serving nodes in the cluster are UP and are not in nofmfailover
mode. If a configuration change is necessary and only one node is UP, save a copy of /usr/
local/ibrix/tmp/fmbackup.zip after each configuration change is completed. In the case
where only one node is UP, this copy can be used later if that node goes down before any of the
other nodes come up. In general, before you bring up cluster nodes that have been down for
some time, ensure that the cluster already has an active Fusion Manager running.
• When the active management console is moved to nofmfailover mode, a passive management
console will transition to active mode. Be sure that this transition is complete before you move the
previously active management console from nofmfailover mode to passive mode. (Use the
ibrix_fm -i command to check the mode of each management console.) If the passive
management console has not yet assumed active mode, the management console being moved
from nofmfailover to passive mode will become active again.
• File system creation on the 9300 server fails from the Getting Started Wizard. No data loss or
corruption occurs, and you can still create the file system using the Create Filesystem Wizard or
its comparable CLI command (ibrix_fs -c -f...).
• File system creation from the Management Console, not the CLI, might sometimes fail with the
message Exporting filesystem (NFS) failed. The file system was created correctly and
all the other steps in the process have completed.
After creating a file system, you can create an NFS share and export the file system using either
the GUI or CLI, as described in the HP StoreAll Storage File System User Guide.
Fusion Manager
• Actively running tasks (Fusion Manager event-based) stop reporting status to the active Fusion
Manager (FM) if an FM restart occurred on the system doing the monitoring for that task.
To resolve the issue:
1. Manually delete the task by entering the following command:
ibrix_tasks -k -n <taskid> -F
2. If the FM process was stopped or restarted while a task was running, the common user
database (CUD) and the specific task coordinator (or other task specific process) were left
running. When FM is restarted, it is no longer aware of these processes. A new task of the
same type might not start because the rogue task is still running. Remove the rogue task by
manually stopping the coordinator/task specific processes and restarting the CUD.
• Under some circumstances the flashing of some hardware components can fail. See the HP FMT
User Guide for details (contact HP Support for more information about this guide).
• If Fusion Manager (FM) is taking a long time to start and the logging for FM is showing APPARENT
DEADLOCK messages, purge the event database.
To purge the event database:
