1.
Manually fail over the file serving node:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_server -f -p -h HOSTNAME
The node will be rebooted automatically.
2.
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
.
3.
Expand the distribution tarball or mount the distribution DVD in a directory of your choice.
Expanding the tarball creates a subdirectory named
ibrix
that contains the installer program.
For example, if you expand the tarball in
/root
, the installer is in
/root/ibrix
.
4.
Change to the installer directory if necessary and execute the following command:
./ibrixupgrade -f
The upgrade automatically stops services and restarts them when the process is complete.
5.
When the upgrade is complete, verify that the StoreAll software services are running on the
node:
/etc/init.d/ibrix_server status
The output will be similar to the following. If the IAD service is not running on your system,
contact HP Support.
IBRIX Filesystem Drivers loaded
ibrcud is running.. pid 23325
IBRIX IAD Server (pid 23368) running...
6.
Verify that the
ibrix
and
ipfs
services are running:
lsmod|grep ibrix
ibrix 2323332 0 (unused)
lsmod|grep ipfs
ipfs1 102592 0 (unused)
If either
grep
command returns empty, contact HP Support.
7.
From the management console, verify that the new version of StoreAll software FS/IAS has
been installed on the file serving node:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_version -l -S
8.
If the upgrade was successful, failback the file serving node:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_server -f -U -h HOSTNAME
9.
Repeat steps 1 through 8 for each remaining file serving node in the cluster.
After all file serving nodes have been upgraded and failed back, complete the upgrade.
Completing the upgrade
1.
From the node hosting the active management console, turn automated failover back on:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_server -m
2.
Confirm that automated failover is enabled:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_server -l
In the output, the HA column should display
on
.
3.
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.
