Upgrading Linux X9000 Clients - HP IBRIX X9720 System Administrator Manual

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
Fusion Manager 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 6.1 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 IBRIX X9000 Network Storage System 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 6.1 release requires that the Fusion Manager
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
BACKUP_HOST
-----------------------------
-----------
ib121-121
ib121-122
ib121-121 [Active FM Nonedit]
[root@ib121-121 fmt]# ibrix_fm -f
NAME
---------
ib121-121
ib121-122
If there is a mismatch on your system, you will see errors when connecting to ports 1234 and
9009. To correct this condition, see
9. Because of a change in the inode format, files used for snapshots must either be created on
X9000 File Serving Software 6.0 or later, or the pre-6.0 file system containing the files must
be upgraded for snapshots. For more information about upgrading a file system, see
"Upgrading pre-6.0 file systems for software snapshots" (page

Upgrading Linux X9000 clients

Be sure to upgrade the cluster nodes before upgrading Linux X9000 clients. Complete the following
steps on each client:
1. Download the latest HP X9000 Client 6.1 package.
2. Expand the tar file.
3. Run the upgrade script:
./ibrixupgrade -f
