6.0 HP X9720 Network Storage System Administrator Guide (AW549-96034, December 2011)

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 CIFS, set the following parameters to synchronize the CIFS software and the
management console 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 6.0 release:
ibrix_cifsconfig -t -S "smb_signing_enabled=0,
smb_signing_required=0"
ibrix_cifsconfig -t -S "ignore_writethru=1"
The SMB signing feature specifies whether clients must support SMB signing to access CIFS
shares. See the HP X9000 File Serving Software File System User Guide for more information
about this feature. Whenignore_writethru is enabled, X9000 software ignores writethru
buffering to improve CIFS write performance on some user applications that request it.
7. Mount file systems on Linux X9000 clients.
8. If the cluster network is configured on bond1, the 6.0 release requires that the management
console VIF (Agile_Cluster_VIF) also be on bond1. To check your system, run the ibrix_nic
-l and ibrix_fm -f commands. Verify that the TYPE for bond1 is set to Cluster and
that the IP_ADDRESS for both nodes matches the subnet or network on which your management
consoles are registered. For example:
[root@ib121-121 fmt]# ibrix_nic -l
HOST IFNAME TYPE STATE IP_ADDRESS MAC_ADDRESS
BACKUP_HOST BACKUP_IF ROUTE VLAN_TAG LINKMON
----------------------------- ------- ------- ---------------------- ------------- -----------------
----------- ---------- ----- -------- -------
ib121-121 bond1 Cluster Up, LinkUp 10.10.121.121 10:1f:74:35:a1:30
No
ib121-122 bond1 Cluster Up, LinkUp 10.10.121.122 10:1f:74:35:83:c8
No
ib121-121 [Active FM Nonedit] bond1:0 Cluster Up, LinkUp (Active FM) 10.10.121.220
No
[root@ib121-121 fmt]# ibrix_fm -f
NAME IP ADDRESS
--------- ----------
ib121-121 10.10.121.121
ib121-122 10.10.121.122
If there is a mismatch on your system, you will see errors when connecting to ports 1234 and
9009. To correct this condition, see “Moving the management console VIF to bond1”
(page 94).
