Change to the

/local/ibrix/

directory.

cd /local/ibrix/

6.

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.

7.

Upgrade Linux StoreAll clients. See

“Upgrading Linux StoreAll clients” (page 18)

.

8.

If you received a new license from HP, install it as described in

“Licensing” (page 135)

.

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

“Upgrading firmware” (page 136)

.

3.

Mount file systems on Linux StoreAll clients.

4.

If you have a file system version prior to version 6, you might have to make changes for
snapshots and data retention, as mentioned in the following list:

•

Snapshots.

Files used for snapshots must either be created on StoreAll software 6.0 or

later, or the pre-6.0 file system containing the files must be upgraded for snapshots. To
upgrade a file system, use the

upgrade60.sh

utility. For more information, see

“Upgrading pre-6.0 file systems for software snapshots” (page 180)

.

•

Data retention.

Files used for data retention (including WORM and auto-commit) must be

created on StoreAll 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

and after you run the

ibrix_reten_adm -u -f FSNAME

command. For more

information, see

“Upgrading pre-6.1.1 file systems for data retention features” (page 181)

.

5.

If you have an Express Query enabled file system prior to version 6.3, manually complete
each file system upgrade as described in

“Required steps after the StoreAll Upgrade for pre-6.3

Express Query enabled file systems” (page 20)

.

Manual offline upgrades for StoreAll software 6.x to 6.3

Preparing for the upgrade

To prepare for the upgrade, complete the following steps:
1.

Make sure you have completed all steps in the upgrade checklist (

Table 1 (page 10)

).

2.

Verify that

ssh

shared keys have been set up. To do this, run the following command on the

node hosting the active instance of the agile Fusion Manager:

ssh <server_name>

Repeat this command for each node in the cluster.

3.

Verify that all file system node servers have separate file systems mounted on the following
partitions by using the

df

command:

•
