HP StoreAll OS 6.5.1 Upgrade Guide

13. 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
This upgrade method is supported only for upgrades from StoreAll software 5.6.x to the 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.
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
2. Change directory to /root/ibrix on the disk running the OS and then run chmod -R 777
* on the entire directory structure.
3. Run the following upgrade script:
./auto_ibrixupgrade
The upgrade script automatically stops the necessary services and restarts them when the
upgrade is complete. The upgrade script installs the Fusion Manager on all nodes. The Fusion
Manager is in active mode on the node where the upgrade was run, and is in passive mode
on the other nodes. If the cluster includes a dedicated Management Server, the Fusion Manager
is installed in passive mode on that server.
4. 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 the following steps:
1. Run the following command to rediscover physical volumes:
ibrix_pv -a
2. Apply any custom tuning parameters, such as mount options.
3. Remount all file systems:
ibrix_mount -f <fsname> -m </mountpoint>
4. Re-enable High Availability if used:
ibrix_server -m
5. Start any remote replication, rebalancer, or data tiering tasks that were stopped before the
upgrade.
6. If you are using SMB, set the following parameters to synchronize the SMB software and the
Fusion Manager database:
• smb signing enabled
• smb signing required
• ignore_writethru
Use ibrix_cifsconfig to set the parameters, specifying the value appropriate for your
cluster (1=enabled, 0=disabled). The following examples set the parameters to the default
values for the 6.1.5 release:
ibrix_cifsconfig -t -S "smb_signing_enabled=0,
smb_signing_required=0"
