HP StoreAll OS 6.5.1 Upgrade Guide

5. If you received a new license from HP, install it as described in the “Licensing” chapter in the
Administrator Guide for your platform.
After the upgrade
Complete these steps:
1. Start any remote replication, rebalancer, or data tiering tasks that were stopped before the
upgrade.
2. A change in the inode format impacts files used for:
• 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 6.1.4.1 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).

Preparing for the upgrade
To prepare for the upgrade, complete the following steps:
1. Ensure that all nodes are up and running. To determine the status of your cluster nodes, check
the dashboard on the StoreAll Management Console (Navigator→Dashboard) or use the
ibrix_health command.
• 9300 and 9320 systems
ibrix_health -i -h <hostname> command for each node in the cluster. At the
top of the output look for “PASSED.”
• X9720 and 9730 systems
ibrix_health -S -i -h <hostname> command for each node in the cluster. At
the top of the output look for “PASSED.”
2. 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.
3. Note any custom tuning parameters, such as file system mount options. When the upgrade is
complete, you can reapply the parameters.
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.) When the
upgrade is complete, you can start the tasks again.
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.
