PowerScale OneFS Upgrade Planning and Process Guide

SyncIQ backup

SyncIQ is one option you can use to backup your OneFS cluster. SyncIQ creates and references snapshots to replicate a consistent point-in-time image of a root directory.

For more information about backing up your OneFS cluster, see the OneFS CLI Administration Guide or the OneFS Web Administration Guide for your version of OneFS.
NOTE:If you are upgrading your cluster from OneFS 8.1.0.x or earlier to OneFS 8.1.1.x, 8.1.2.x, or 8.1.3.x, and your cluster is in Compliance mode, you must ensure that all SyncIQ partners are on the same code and patch level OneFS before restarting SyncIQ backups, or the backups fail. This issue is resolved in OneFS 8.2.0 and later.
NOTE:If you are upgrading your cluster to OneFS 8.2.0 through 9.2.1.0, are using SyncIQ, and have non-networked (NANON) nodes on your source cluster, SyncIQ jobs might fail after the upgrade. For more information including a workaround, see the KB article SyncIQ jobs failing with NANON after upgrade
