6.2 HP IBRIX 9000 Storage CLI Reference Guide (TA768-96070, December 2012)

ibrix_archiving
Manages the archiving system.
Description
The ibrix_archiving manages the Express Query system, including the database and scanner
daemons. You can display the status of the Express Query system and start, stop, or restart the
daemons.
The Express Query database for each file system is stored on that file system. The Express Query
database is closed before the file system is unmounted. Because closing the database can take a
long time, the -F option can be used to forcefully stop the Express Query daemons and disable
database access to all file systems enabled for Express Query. When you restart the daemons after
using the -F option, the database enters in recovery mode, which can take a long time to complete
depending on the size of the database.
Synopsis
Display the status of the archiving system:
ibrix_archiving -l
Lists the file systems registered to Express Query to maintain an up-to-date database. Shows the
status of each file system's database.
The possible states are:
DescriptionStatus
Express Query store is available.OK
Manual Intervention Failure (MIF). Express Query detected an unrecoverable data issue.
User action is required. See ibrix_archiving -C [FSNAME] for information on how
recover.
MIF
Express Query is being reconstructed because of a previous abnormal termination. Express
Query is offline during the recovery.
RECOVERY
Express Query is being re-synchronized with the file system contents. Express Query might
return incomplete results during the synchronization.
SYNC
Express Query is offline because of an abnormal file system state. Express Query will
remain offline until the file system state returns to normal.
ABNORMAL-FS
Fusion Manager is in the process of starting Express Query for this file system.STARTING
The archiving infrastructure is stopped.STOPPED
Express Query status could not be determined. Contact HP Support.UNKNOWN
Clears the Manual Intervention Failure (MIF) state for the file system named in the command:
ibrix_archiving -C [FSNAME]
A file system is assigned a Manual Intervention Failure (MIF) state when Express Query detects
that the file system’s database is in an inconsistent state that Express Query cannot automatically
correct. When a database is in a MIF state, all changes to files in this file system continue to be
logged, but they are not processed into the database tables. The contents of the database are not
updated until you correct the problem in the database. If you are not sure how to correct the
problem, contact HP support.
After you manually correct the problem that caused the MIF state, run the ibrix_archiving
-C [FSNAME] command to re-enable the use of this database. After you enter the
ibrix_archiving -C [FSNAME] command, the file system attempts to recover and the state
(shown by the ibrix_archiving —l command) becomes RECOVERY. If the recovery fails, the
