OVERVIEW: ------------ Symantec FileStore provides a scalable clustered storage solution. This document provides release information for the patch. Notes: 1. Patch upgrade will cause service failover from one node to another which will take about 15 seconds. This will not impact NFS client mounts and replication jobs, but CIFS client mounts will need to connect again, and backup jobs need to be resumed as well after an upgrade. 2. For the above reason, it is recommended to stop CIFS, backup, and EV I/O loads during an upgrade. 3. The 5.7 MP1 patch can only be applied to the 5.7, 5.7P1, 5.7P2, or 5.7P3 release. 4. Patch upgrade cannot be rollbacked once applied. 5. Don"t proceed upgrade when there are heavy I/O ongoing II. UPGRADE PROCEDURE: ---------------------- To install the patch: 1. Extact sfs-sles11_x86_64-5.7MP1-patches.tar.gz. 2. Copy SFSFS-patch-5.7MP1_2012_08_30.tar.gz to the FileStore master node at (/home/support/patches/) using the support login. 3. If fencing is enabled, turn off and remove I/O fencing before the upgrade: filestore> storage> fencing off filestore> storage> fencing destroy 4. Install the FileStore patch using the master login (CLISH): filestore>upgrade patch install scp://support@localhost:/home/support/patches/SFSFS-patch-5.7MP1_2012_08_30.tar.gz The patch is installed on the slave nodes first followed by a system reboot. The master node is installed last followed by a system reboot. 5. If fencing was enabled, enable it again. 6. Monitor and check the status of the FileStore cluster: To check that the installation is complete, login to the master node again (switch to another node), and check that all the nodes are in the RUNNING state: filestore> cluster show ------------ ----- ----------- -------- -------- -------- -------- filestore_01 RUNNING 0.98 0.01 0.00 0.01 0.00 filestore_02 RUNNING 0.97 0.01 0.00 0.01 0.00 filestore_01# gabconfig -a GAB Port Memberships ================================= Port a gen 187002 membership 01 Port b gen 187004 membership 01 Port f gen 18700e membership 01 Port h gen 187006 membership 01 Port u gen 18700c membership 01 Port v gen 187008 membership 01 Port w gen 18700a membership 01 Note: Please refer to the Symantec FileStore 5.7 MP1 Command-Line Administrator's Guide for information on the "support" user login and more information about the patch installation.
