a file system, use the upgrade60.sh utility. For more information, see

Data retention. Files used for data retention (including WORM and auto-commit) must be
created on IBRIX software 6.1.1 or later, or the pre-6.1.1 file system containing the files
must be upgraded for retention features. To upgrade a file system, use the
ibrix_reten_adm -u -f FSNAME command. Additional steps are required before

5. Review the file /etc/hosts on every IBRIX node (file serving nodes and management nodes)
to ensure the hosts file contains two lines similar to the following:
127.0.0.1 <hostname> localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
In this instance, <hostname> is the name of the IBRIX node as returned by the hostname
command.
If these two lines do not exist or they do not contain all of the information, open the /etc/
hosts file with a text editor such as "vi" and modify the file so it contains the two lines,
matching the format provided in this step. For example, if the hostname command returns
ss01, then the lines should appear as follows:
127.0.0.1 ss01 localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
