Step Description
10 For 9720 systems, delete the existing vendor storage by entering the following command:
ibrix_vs -d -n EXDS
The vendor storage is registered automatically after the upgrade.
1 1 Record all host tunings, FS tunings and FS mounting options by using the following
commands:
1. To display file system tunings, enter: ibrix_fs_tune -l
>/local/ibrix_fs_tune-l.txt
2. To display default StoreAll tunings and settings, enter: ibrix_host_tune -L
>/local/ibrix_host_tune-L.txt
3. To display all non-default configuration tunings and settings, enter: ibrix_host_tune
-q >/local/ibrix_host_tune-q.txt
12 Ensure that the "ibrix" local user account exists and it has the same UID number on all the
servers in the cluster. If they do not have the same UID number, create the account and
change the UIDs as needed to make them the same on all the servers. Similarly, ensure
that the "ibrix-user" local user group exists and has the same GID number on all servers.
Enter the following commands on each node:
grep ibrix /etc/passwd
grep ibrix-user /etc/group
13 Ensure that all nodes are up and running. To determine the status of your cluster nodes,
check the health of each server by either using the dashboard on the Management Console
or entering the ibrix_health -S -i -h <hostname> command for each node in
the cluster. At the top of the output look for "PASSED."
