Performing the upgrade
This upgrade method is supported only for upgrades from IBRIX software 5.6.x to the 6.1 release.
Complete the following steps:
1.
Obtain the latest HP IBRIX 6.1 ISO image from the IBRIX 9000 software dropbox. Contact HP
Support to register for the release and obtain access to the dropbox.
Mount the ISO image and copy the entire directory structure to the /root/ibrix directory
on the disk running the OS.
2.
Change directory to /root/ibrix on the disk running the OS and then run chmod -R 777
* on the entire directory structure.
3.
Run the following upgrade script:
./auto_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 all file serving nodes.
The Fusion Manager is in active mode on the node where the upgrade was run, and is in
passive mode on the other file serving nodes. If the cluster includes a dedicated Management
Server, the Fusion Manager is installed in passive mode on that server.
4.
Upgrade Linux 9000 clients. See
5.
If you received a new license from HP, install it as described in the "Licensing" chapter in this
guide.
After the upgrade
Complete the following steps:
1.
Run the following command to rediscover physical volumes:
ibrix_pv -a
2.
Apply any custom tuning parameters, such as mount options.
3.
Remount all file systems:
ibrix_mount -f <fsname> -m </mountpoint>
4.
Re-enable High Availability if used:
ibrix_server -m
5.
Start any Remote Replication, Rebalancer, or data tiering tasks that were stopped before the
upgrade.
