Use
ibrix_cifsconfig
to set the parameters, specifying the value appropriate for your
cluster (1=enabled, 0=disabled). The following examples set the parameters to the default
values for the 6.3 release:
ibrix_cifsconfig -t -S "smb_signing_enabled=0,
smb_signing_required=0"
ibrix_cifsconfig -t -S "ignore_writethru=1"
The SMB signing feature specifies whether clients must support SMB signing to access SMB
shares. See the
HP StoreAll Storage File System User Guide
for more information about this
feature. When
ignore_writethru
is enabled, StoreAll software ignores writethru buffering
to improve SMB write performance on some user applications that request it.

Mount file systems on Linux StoreAll clients.
10. 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)
.
11. 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)
.
Upgrading Linux StoreAll clients
Be sure to upgrade the cluster nodes before upgrading Linux StoreAll clients. Complete the following
steps on each client:
1.
Download the latest HP StoreAll client 6.3 package.
2.
Expand the tar file.
3.
Run the upgrade script:
./ibrixupgrade -tc -f
The upgrade software automatically stops the necessary services and restarts them when the
upgrade is complete.
4.
Execute the following command to verify the client is running StoreAll software:
/etc/init.d/ibrix_client status
IBRIX Filesystem Drivers loaded
IBRIX IAD Server (pid 3208) running...
The
IAD
service should be running, as shown in the previous sample output. If it is not, contact HP
Support.
Installing a minor kernel update on Linux clients
The StoreAll client software is upgraded automatically when you install a compatible Linux minor
kernel update.
If you are planning to install a minor kernel update, first run the following command to verify that
the update is compatible with the StoreAll client software:
/usr/local/ibrix/bin/verify_client_update <kernel_update_version>
