Performing The Upgrade Manually; After The Upgrade - HP StoreAll 9730 Administrator's Manual

Performing the upgrade manually

This upgrade method is supported only for upgrades from StoreAll software 6.x to the 6.3 release.
Complete the following steps first for the server running the active Fusion Manager and then for
the servers running the passive Fusion Managers:
1. This release is only available through the registered release process. To obtain the ISO image,
contact HP Support to register for the release and obtain access to the software dropbox.
2. Ensure that the /local/ibrix/ folder is empty prior to copying the contents of pkgfull.
The upgrade will fail if the /local/ibrix/ folder contains leftover .rpm packages not listed
in the build manifest.
3. Mount the pkg-full ISO image and copy the entire directory structure to the /local/ibrix/
directory, as shown in the following example:
mount -o loop
/local/pkg/ibrix-pkgfull-FS_6.3.72+IAS_6.3.72-x86_64.signed.iso
/mnt/
4. Change the permissions of all components in the /local/ibrix/ directory structure by
entering the following command:
chmod -R 777 /local/ibrix/
5. Change to the /local/ibrix/ directory, and then run the upgrade script:
cd /local/ibrix/
./ibrixupgrade
The upgrade script automatically stops the necessary services and restarts them when the
upgrade is complete. The upgrade script installs the Fusion Manager on the server.
6. After completing the previous steps for the server running the active Fusion Manager, repeat
the steps for each of the servers running the passive Fusion Manager.
7. Upgrade Linux StoreAll clients. See
8. If you received a new license from HP, install it as described in

After the upgrade

Complete the following steps:
1. If your cluster nodes contain any 10Gb NICs, reboot these nodes to load the new driver. You
must do this step before you upgrade the server firmware, as requested later in this procedure.
2. Upgrade your firmware as described in
3. Run the following command to rediscover physical volumes:
ibrix_pv -a
4. Apply any custom tuning parameters, such as mount options.
5. Remount all file systems:
ibrix_mount -f <fsname> -m </mountpoint>
6. Re-enable High Availability if used:
ibrix_server -m
7. Start any remote replication, rebalancer, or data tiering tasks that were stopped before the
upgrade.

Fusion Manager database:
smb signing enabled
smb signing required
