NOTE:
To determine which node is hosting the active management console, run the following command:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_fm -i
Preparing for the upgrade
1. On the active management console node, disable automated failover on all file serving nodes:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_server -m -U
2. Verify that automated failover is off. In the output, the HA column should display off.
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_server -l
3. On the active management console node, stop the NFS and SMB services on all file serving
nodes to prevent NFS and CIFS clients from timing out.
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_server -s -t cifs -c stop
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_server -s -t nfs -c stop
Verify that all likewise services are down on all file serving nodes:
ps –ef | grep likewise
Use kill -9 to kill any likewise services that are still running.
4. Unmount all X9000 Software file systems:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_umount -f <fsname>
Upgrading the file serving nodes hosting the management console
Complete the following steps:
1. On the node hosting the active management console, force a backup of the management console
configuration:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_fm -B
The output is stored at /usr/local/ibrix/tmp/fmbackup.zip. Be sure to save this file in
a location outside of the cluster.
2. On the node hosting the passive management console, place the management console into
maintenance mode:
<ibrixhome>/bin/ibrix_fm –m maintenance
3. On the active management console node, move the <installer_dir>/ibrix directory used
in the previous release installation to ibrix.old. For example, if you expanded the tarball in
/root during the previous X9000 installation on this node, the installer is in /root/ibrix.
4. On the active management console node, expand the distribution tarball or mount the distribution
DVD in a directory of your choice. Expanding the tarball creates a subdirectory named ibrix
that contains the installer program. For example, if you expand the tarball in /root, the installer
is in /root/ibrix.
5. Change to the installer directory if necessary and run the upgrade:
./ibrixupgrade -f
The installer upgrades both the management console software and the file serving node software
on this node.
6. Verify the status of the management console:
