HP StoreAll OS 6.5.1 Upgrade Guide

4. If you received a new license from HP, install it as described in the “Licensing” chapter in the
HP StoreAll Storage Administrator Guide for your platform.
5. If your cluster nodes contain any 10 Gb NICs, reboot these nodes to load the new driver. You
must do this step before you upgrade the server firmware, as requested later in this procedure.
6. During upgrades and installations, the clearSegmentUnavailableUponFailover
parameter of the ibrix_fm_tune command is incorrectly set to false. To resolve this issue,
run the following command to reset the default value to true:
ibrix_fm_tune –S –o clearSegmentUnavailableUponFailover=true
7. If you have not already done so, upgrade your firmware as described in “Upgrading firmware”
(page 50).
8. Mount file systems on Linux StoreAll clients.
9. If you have a file system version prior to version 6.0, you might have to make changes for
snapshots and data retention, as mentioned in the following list:
• Snapshots. Files used for snapshots must either be created on StoreAll software 6.0 or
later, or the pre-6.0 file system containing the files must be upgraded for snapshots. To
upgrade a file system, use the upgrade60.sh utility. For more information, see
“Upgrading pre–6.0 file systems for software snapshots” (page 24).
• 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 25).
10. If you have an Express Query–enabled file system, manually complete each file system upgrade
as described in “Required steps after the upgrade for Express Query–enabled file systems”
(page 14).
11. If you are using checksum validation, migrate your validation checksums from the file based
store (VMS) to the Express Query database, as described in “Migrating the validation
checksums” (page 15).
Upgrading Linux StoreAll clients
The HP StoreAll OS Software 6.5.1 release supports versions 6.3.3 and 6.5.1 for StoreAll Linux
clients. If you are already running version 6.3.3 on the StoreAll Linux clients, you are not required
to upgrade to the 6.5.1 client, but the 6.5.1 client upgrade is preferred. If you are running a
StoreAll Linux client version earlier than 6.3.3, you must upgrade, at a minimum, to 6.3.3. However,
upgrading to the 6.5.1 client is strongly encouraged.
To upgrade the StoreAll Linux client, complete the following steps:
1. Download the applicable HP StoreAll client 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 the StoreAll OS software:
/etc/init.d/ibrix_client status
IBRIX Filesystem Drivers loaded
IBRIX IAD Server (pid 3208) running...
