Agile upgrade for clusters with an agile management console configuration
Use these procedures if your cluster has an agile management console configuration. The IBRIX
software 5.4.x to 5.5 upgrade can be performed either online or offline. Future releases may
require offline upgrades.
NOTE:
Be sure to read all instructions before starting the upgrade procedure.
Agile online upgrade
Perform the agile online upgrade in the following order:
File serving node hosting the active management console
File serving node hosting the passive management console
Remaining file serving nodes and 9000 clients
Upgrading the file serving nodes hosting the management console
Complete the following steps:
1.
On the node hosting the active management console, force a backup of the management
console configuration:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_fm -B
The output is stored at /usr/local/ibrix/tmp/fmbackup.zip. Be sure to save this file
in a location outside of the cluster.
2.
On the active management console node, disable automated failover on all file serving nodes:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_server -m -U
3.
Verify that automated failover is off:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_server -l
In the output, the HA column should display off.
4.
On the node hosting the active management console, place the management console into
maintenance mode. This step fails over the active management console role to the node
currently hosting the passive agile management console.
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_fm -m nofmfailover
5.
Wait approximately 60 seconds for the failover to complete, and then run the following
command on the node that was the target for the failover:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_fm -i
The command should report that the agile management console is now Active on this node.
6.
From the node on which you failed over the active management console in step 4, change
the status of the management console from maintenance to passive:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_fm -m passive
7.
On the node hosting the active management console, manually fail over the node now hosting
the passive management console:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_server -f -p -h HOSTNAME
Wait a few minutes for the node to reboot and then run the following command to verify that
the failover was successful. The output should report Up, FailedOver.
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_server -l
8.
On the node hosting the active management console, place the management console into
maintenance mode:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_fm -m nofmfailover
