HP StoreAll OS 6.5.1 Upgrade Guide

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. Obtain the latest release image from the HP kiosk at http://www.software.hp.com/kiosk (you
will need your HP-provided login credentials).
3. Copy the release .iso file onto the current active management console.
4. Run the following command, specifying the location of the local iso copy as the argument:
/usr/local/ibrix/setup/upgrade <iso>
The upgrade script performs all necessary upgrade steps on every server in the cluster and
logs progress in the file /usr/local/ibrix/setup/upgrade.log. After the script
completes, each server will be automatically rebooted and will begin installing the latest
software.
5. After the install is complete, the upgrade process automatically restores node-specific
configuration information and the cluster should be running the latest software. If an UPGRADE
FAILED message appears on the active management console, see the specified log file for
details.
Manual upgrades
The manual upgrade process requires external storage that will be used to save the cluster
configuration. Each server must be able to access this media directly, not through a network, as
the network configuration is part of the saved configuration. HP recommends that you use a USB
stick or DVD.
NOTE: Be sure to read all instructions before starting the upgrade procedure.
To determine which node is hosting the agile management console configuration, run the ibrix_fm
-i command.
Preparing 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. On the active management console node, disable automated failover on all nodes:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_server -m -U
