HP StoreAll OS 6.5.1 Upgrade Guide

2. To prepare for the upgrade, complete the following steps, ensure that high availability is
enabled on each node in the cluster by running the following command:
ibrix_haconfig -l
If the command displays an Overall HA Configuration Checker Results - PASSED
status, high availability is enabled on each node in the cluster. If the command returns Overall
HA Configuration Checker Results - FAILED, complete the following list items
based on the result returned for each component:
1. Make sure you have completed all steps in the upgrade checklist (Table 1 (page 6)).
2. If Failed was displayed for the HA Configuration or Auto Failover columns or both,
perform the steps described in the section “Configuring High Availability on the cluster”
in the Administrator Guide for your platform.
3. If Failed was displayed for the NIC or HBA Monitored columns, see the sections for
ibrix_nic -m -h <host> -A node_2/node_interface and ibrix_hba -m
-h <host> -p <World_Wide_Name> in the HP StoreAll OS CLI Reference Guide for
your current release.
3. Verify that ssh shared keys have been set up. To do this, run the following command on the
node hosting the active instance of the agile Fusion Manager:
ssh <server_name>
Repeat this command for each node in the cluster and verify that you are not prompted for a
password at any time.
4. Ensure that no active tasks are running. Stop any active remote replication, data tiering, or
rebalancer tasks running on the cluster. (Use ibrix_task -l to list active tasks; Use
ibrix_task –k –n TASKID to stop a task.) When the upgrade is complete, you can start
the tasks again (use ibrix_task –r –n TASKID).
5. The 6.1.5 release requires that nodes hosting the agile management be registered on the
cluster network. Run the following command to verify that nodes hosting the agile Fusion
Manager have IP addresses on the cluster network:
ibrix_fm -f
If a node is configured on the user network, see “Node is not registered with the cluster network
” (page 44) for a workaround.
6. On X9720 systems, delete the existing vendor storage:
ibrix_vs -d -n EXDS
The vendor storage will be registered automatically after the upgrade.
Performing the upgrade
The online upgrade is supported only from the StoreAll 6.0 or 6.1.x to 6.1.5 release. Complete
the following steps:
1. Obtain the latest HP StoreAll 6.1.5 ISO image from the StoreAll software dropbox. Contact
HP Support to register for the release and obtain access to the dropbox.
2. Mount the ISO image and copy the entire directory structure to the /root/ibrix directory
on the disk running the OS:
mkdir /media
mount -r -o loop /local/<image_name.iso> /root/ibrix
3. Change directory to /root/ibrix on the disk running the OS and then run chmod -R 777
* on the entire directory structure.
4. Run the upgrade script and follow the on-screen directions:
