A change in the inode format impacts files used for:
•
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)
