When the IBRIX 9000 Network Storage System screen appears, enter qr to install the IBRIX
software on the file serving node.
The server reboots automatically after the software is installed. Remove the DVD from the
DVD-ROM drive.
Restoring the node configuration
Complete the following steps on each node, starting with the previous active management console:
1.
Log in to the node. The configuration wizard should pop up. Escape out of the configuration
wizard.
2.
Attach the external storage media containing the saved node configuration information.
3.
Restore the configuration. Run the following restore script and pass in the tgz file containing
the node's saved configuration information as an argument:
/usr/local/ibrix/setup/restore <saved_config.tgz>
4.
Reboot the node.
Completing the upgrade
Complete the following steps:
1.
Remount all IBRIX file systems:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_mount -f <fsname> -m </mountpoint>
2.
Remount all previously mounted IBRIX file systems on Windows 9000 clients using the Windows
client GUI.
3.
If automated failover was enabled before the upgrade, turn it back on from the node hosting
the active management console:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_server -m
4.
Confirm that automated failover is enabled:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_server -l
In the output, HA should display on.
5.
From the node hosting the active management console, perform a manual backup of the
upgraded configuration:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_fm -B
6.
Verify that all version indicators match for file serving nodes. Run the following command from
the active management console:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_version –l
If there is a version mismatch, run the /ibrix/ibrixupgrade -f script again on the
affected node, and then recheck the versions. The installation is successful when all version
indicators match. If you followed all instructions and the version indicators do not match,
contact HP Support.
7.
Verify the health of the cluster:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_health -l
The output should show Passed / on.
8.
For an agile configuration, on all nodes hosting the passive management console, return the
management console to passive mode:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_fm -m passive
