If either grep command returns empty, contact HP Support.
7. From the management console, verify that the new version of X9000 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. Upgrade X9000 Clients:
• For Linux clients, see Upgrading Linux X9000 clients, page 88.
• For Windows clients, see Upgrading Windows X9000 clients, page 89.
4. Verify that all version indicators match for file serving nodes and X9000 Clients. 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.
5. Propagate a new segment map for the cluster:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_dbck -I -f FSNAME
6. Verify the health of the cluster:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_health -l
The output should specify Passed / on.
7. If you received a new license from HP, install it as described in the “Licensing” chapter in this
guide.
Agile offline upgrade
This upgrade procedure is appropriate for major upgrades. Perform the agile offline upgrade in the
following order:
• File serving node hosting the active management console
• File serving node hosting the passive management console
• Remaining file serving nodes and X9000 clients
