6.3 HP StoreAll Storage Release Notes (TA768-96086, April 2013)

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.
Management console
• 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
• Fusion Manager might consume excessive file handles while running the following data mobility
tasks: Validator, Migrator, Snap Reclamation, Avscan.
If the file handles become exhausted on the system, the StoreAll services will become unresponsive.
If StoreAll High Availability (HA) is enabled, the server will be triggered to fail over and the
condition will be cleared. If StoreAll HA is not enabled, you must restart Fusion Manager to resolve
the issue.
If this issue occurs frequently, increase the default file descriptor limit that Fusion Manager uses
on all Fusion Manager servers:
1. Open the file /etc/ibrix/fusion/env in a text editor.
2. Find the following line:
ulimit -n 2048
3. Increase the file descriptor limit for Fusion Manager from 2048 to a larger number based
on your environment.
4. Save the file.
5. Repeat Steps 1 through 4 for each Fusion Manager server.
6. Disable High Availability from the High Availability Configuration Wizard for all Fusion
Manager servers or use the following CLI command:
nl
ibrix_fm -m nofmfailover -A.
7. Restart Fusion Manager for your changes to take effect for all Fusion Manager servers.
8. Enable High Availability from the High Availability Configuration Wizard for all Fusion
Manager servers or use the following CLI command:
nl
ibrix_fm -m passive -A
When High Availability is enabled, StoreAll picks an active Fusion Manager. For information
on how to change the server that was picked as the active Fusion Manager, refer to the HP
StoreAll Administrator Guide for your platform.
• 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:
