Upgrading the cluster

This topic describes how to upgrade the cluster.

Prerequisites

Before you upgrade the cluster, you must ensure that all metadata servers in the SAN File System cluster and all SAN File System clients are upgraded to version 2.1.

Steps

  1. From the master metadata server, activate the version 2.1 upgrade to enable new version 2.1 features.
    /usr/tank/admin/bin/sfscli upgradecluster
  2. When prompted to confirm that you want to upgrade, respond with Y
  3. Verify that the version 2.1 level of code is now the committed software version.
    /usr/tank/admin/bin/sfscli statcluster
    The entries for Software Version and Committed Software Version should be the same and should match the version name of the SAN File System Server package that was installed. Run rpm -q sfs.server.linux and verify the versions match.
    Name                       sanfs
    ID                         21443
    State                      Online
    Target State               Online
    Last State Change          Feb 16, 2004 6:15:47 AM
    Last Target State Change   -
    Servers                    2
    Active Servers             1
    Software Version           2.1.0.65
    Committed Software Version 2.1.0.65
    Last Software Commit   Feb 13, 2004 2:46:27 PM
    Software Commit Status     Not In Progress
    Installation Date          Feb 13, 2004 2:46:27 PM
    The results of rpm -q sfs.server.linux should be similar to the following:
    # rpm -q sfs.server.linux
    sfs.server.linux-2.1.0-65
