5.5.5 HP IBRIX X9000 Release Notes

Kernel update 2.6.9-89.35.1.ELsmp is compatible.
If the minor kernel update is compatible, install the update with the vendor RPM and reboot the system.
The X9000 client software is then automatically updated with the new kernel, and X9000 client services
start automatically. Use the ibrix_version -l -C command to verify the kernel version on the
client.
For future use
Although the following features are available on the Management Console GUI or CLI, they are
intended for future use and are not currently supported.
• X9000 snapshots on HP P4000 storage systems
• The Cloning and Async Cloning options listed in the GUI Navigator under Filesystems > Tasks
Installation instructions
New installations
HP X9000 File Serving Software is preinstalled on supported devices. If you need to reinstall the
software, see the administrator guide for your storage system.
Upgrades
The upgrade procedure is provided in the administrator guide for your storage system. Contact HP
Support for assistance with the procedure.
IMPORTANT: After upgrading to X9000 5.5, ensure that smb signing is configured either for enabled
(smb_signing_enabled=1 and smb_signing_required=1), or for disabled (smb_signing_enabled=0
and smb_signing_required=0). Mixed combinations of required and enabled will result in CIFS
connection failures in newer Windows clients (Vista, Windows 7, and possibly others.) Use
ibrix_cifsconfig -i to check the settings. The valid settings are:
Host: ib50-81
=============
smb_signing_required : 1
smb_signing_enabled : 1
or:
Host: ib50-81
=============
smb_signing_required : 0
smb_signing_enabled : 0
Other combinations will cause CIFS client connection failures.
Determining the current version
To determine the current version of your X9000 Software, run the ibrix_version -l command.
In the following example, the version is 5.5.257.
ibrix_version -l
