Agile offline upgrade

This upgrade procedure is appropriate for major upgrades. Perform the agile offline 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
NOTE:
To determine which node is hosting the active management console, run the following
command:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_fm -i
Preparing for the upgrade
1.
On the active management console node, disable automated failover on all file serving nodes:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_server -m -U
2.
Verify that automated failover is off. In the output, the HA column should display off.
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_server -l
3.
On the active management console node, stop the NFS and SMB services on all file serving
nodes to prevent NFS and SMB clients from timing out.
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_server -s -t cifs -c stop
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_server -s -t nfs -c stop
Verify that all likewise services are down on all file serving nodes:
ps -ef | grep likewise
Use kill -9 to kill any likewise services that are still running.
4.
Unmount all StoreAll file systems:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_umount -f <fsname>
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 node hosting the passive management console, place the management console into
maintenance mode:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_fm -m maintenance -A
3.
On the active management console node, move the <installer_dir>/ibrix directory
used in the previous release installation to ibrix.old. For example, if you expanded the
tarball in /root during the previous StoreAll installation on this node, the installer is in /root/
ibrix.
4.
On the active management console node, expand the distribution tarball or mount the
distribution DVD in a directory of your choice. Expanding the tarball creates a subdirectory
