Upgrading The Statistics Tool From X9000 Software 6.0; Using The Historical Reports Gui - HP IBRIX X9720 System Administrator Manual

Upgrading the Statistics tool from X9000 software 6.0

The statistics history is retained when you upgrade to version 6.1 or later.
The Statstool software is upgraded when the X9000 software is upgraded using the
ibrix_upgrade and auto_ibrixupgrade scripts.
Note the following:
If statistics processes were running before the upgrade started, those processes will automatically
restart after the upgrade completes successfully. If processes were not running before the
upgrade started, you must start them manually after the upgrade completes.
If the Statistics tool was not previously installed, the X9000 software upgrade installs the tool
but the Statistic processes are not started. For information about starting the processes,
see"Controlling Statistics tool processes" (page
The manual upgrade procedure, which uses the Quick Restore DVD, does not install the
Statistics tool. After the upgrade, install the tool manually (see
(page 71)).
Configurable parameters (such as age.retain.files=24h) set in the /etc/ibrix/
stats.conf file before the upgrade are not retained after the upgrade.
After the upgrade, historical data and reports are moved from the /var/lib/ibrix/
histstats folder to the /local/statstool/histstats folder.
The upgrade retains the Statistics tool database but not the reports. You can regenerate reports
for the data stored before the upgrade by specifying the date range. See
(page 73).

Using the Historical Reports GUI

You can use the GUI to view or generate reports for the entire cluster or for a specific file serving
node. To open the GUI, select Historical Reports on the GUI dashboard.
NOTE: By default, installing the Statistics tool does not start the Statistics tool processes. The GUI
displays a message if the processes are not running on the active Fusion Manager. (No message
appears if the processes are already running on the active Fusion Manager, or if the processes
are not running on any of the passive management consoles.) See
processes" (page 76)
The statistics home page provides three views, or formats, for listing the reports. Following is the
Simple View, which sorts the reports according to type (hourly, daily, weekly, detail).
