6.2.2 HP IBRIX 9000 Storage Release Notes (AW549-96061, January 2013)

NOTE: The above command does not place the local/Active FM in nofmfailover mode.
2. Make the desired node passive by entering the following command:
ibrix_fm -m passive -h <nodename>
3. Wait 1 minute for the commands to complete.
4. Place the current Active FM into 'nofmfailover' mode, this will trigger the migration by entering
the following command:
ibrix_fm -m nofmfailover
5. Wait another minute, after which, you should find the Active FM on the desired node. Verify
FM is at the correct node by entering the following command:
ibrix_fm -i
6. From the Active FM, place the rest of the nodes back into Passive mode by entering the
following command:
ibrix_fm -m passive -A
• During an upgrade from 6.1 to 6.2.2, if there is I/O work load on a file serving node, the HP-SMB
services might not start itself after upgrade. This could make the SMB share not accessible from
that node. To recover from this situation, restart the HP-SMB services after upgrade if there is a
share access issue after upgrade.
• If clients previously mapped an SMB share using the hostname/FQDN, they will be prompted
continuously to enter their credentials when attempting to access the SMB share after the upgrade.
(The share can be accessed successfully using the IP address.) To workaround this situation, disjoin
and then rejoin all file serving nodes to the Active Directory domain. This can be done using the
GUI or the ibrix_auth command.
• The 10Gb NIC driver is updated during the IBRIX v6.2.X software upgrade. However, the new
driver is not utilized/loaded until after the server has been rebooted. If you run the upgrade
firmware tool (hpsp_fmt) before you reboot the server, the tool detects that the old driver is still
being used.
• After an upgrade, the following message might appear:
The IbrixArchiving rpm is not installed.
If you see this error message shortly after any online or offline upgrade, returned by any IBRIX
CLI command, restart the active Fusion Manager with the following series of commands on the
active FM server:
1. Enter the following command to set all instances of Fusion Manager to the nofmfailover mode:
ibrix_fm -m nofmfailover -A
2. To restart Fusion Manager, enter the following command:
service ibrix_fusionmanager restart
3. Enter the following command to set all instances of Fusion Manager to the passive mode:
ibrix_fm -m passive -A
Reenter the command or redo the steps in the GUI that previously gave the error message.
NOTE: If the action was to create a file system, then delete the filesystem and recreate it after
restarting the Fusion Manager.
• Use of IBRIX Native clients for any SUSE or SLES kernel is not supported for file systems with
Express Query enabled.
• After upgrading to 6.2.1, the segment evacuation task might fail with the message Completed
with error. This could occur in a rare situation when the file system only has two segments
