Common issue across all upgrades from StoreAll 5.x
If you are upgrading from a StoreAll 5.x release, ensure that the NFS exports option
subtree_check
is the default export option for every NFS export. The
no_subtree_check
option is not compatible with the StoreAll OS software.
To add the
subtree_check
option, perform the following steps:
1.
Unexport the NFS exports:
ibrix_exportfs -h <HOSTLIST> -p <CLIENT1:PATHNAME1>
2.
Create NFS exports with the
subtree_check
option:
ibrix_exportfs –f <FSNAME> -p <CLIENT1:PATHNAME1> -o "subtree_check"
NOTE:
Multiple options can be specified by using the
–o
parameter by separating each
option by a comma (for example,
-o rw,subtree_check
).
3.
Complete steps 1 and 2 for every NFS export.
4.
Verify that all NFS exports have the
subtree_check
option set:
ibrix_exportfs –l
Upgrading the StoreAll software to the 6.1 release
This section describes how to upgrade to the latest StoreAll software release. The Fusion Manager
and all file serving nodes must be upgraded to the new release at the same time.
Upgrades to the StoreAll software 6.1 release are supported for systems currently running StoreAll
software 5.6.x and 6.x.
If your system is currently running StoreAll software 5.4.x, first upgrade to 5.5.x, then upgrade to
5.6.x, and then upgrade to 6.1. See
“Upgrading the StoreAll software to the 5.5 release”
(page 188)
.
If your system is currently running StoreAll software 5.5.x, upgrade to 5.6.x and then upgrade to
6.1. See
“Upgrading the StoreAll software to the 5.6 release” (page 185)
.
IMPORTANT:
If you are upgrading from a StoreAll 5.x release:
•
Ensure that the NFS exports option
subtree_check
is the default export option for every
NFS export. See
“Common issue across all upgrades from StoreAll 5.x” (page 174)
for more
information.
•
Any support tickets collected with the
ibrix_supportticket
command will be deleted
during the upgrade. Before upgrading to 6.1.4, download a copy of the archive files (
.tgz
)
from the
/admin/platform/diag/supporttickets
directory.
