PowerScale OneFS Upgrade Planning and Process Guide

PDF

Perform a simultaneous upgrade using the web administration interface

You can use the web administration interface to upgrade the OneFS version that is running on a cluster.

  1. Log in to any node in the cluster through the web administration interface with the root account.
  2. Click Cluster Management > Upgrade.
  3. Click Upgrade OneFS.
  4. Browse to the location of the installation image that you want to install. The file path must be accessible in an /ifs directory. Then click Select.
  5. In the Upgrade Type list, select Simultaneous Upgrade.
  6. (Optional) To skip the pre-upgrade checks for compatibility issues, select Skip optional pre-upgrade checks.
    NOTE:It is recommended that you run the optional pre-upgrade checks. Before starting an upgrade, OneFS checks that your cluster is healthy enough to complete the upgrade process. Some of the pre-upgrade checks are mandatory, and will be performed even if you choose to skip the optional checks. All pre-upgrade checks contribute to a safer upgrade.
  7. Click Start Upgrade.
    The cluster might display several confirmation messages. Confirm each message to continue the upgrade process.
After the upgrade, a number of upgrade-related jobs may continue to run on the cluster for some time. During this time, the cluster is accessible, but you might experience a decrease in cluster performance. After the jobs complete, performance will return to normal. At this stage, the upgrade is complete, but is not committed. You can still roll back to the previous version of OneFS. Some new features in the upgrade might not be available until the upgrade is committed.
