1.

Disable the Express Query and auditing feature for the file system, including the removal of
any StoreAll REST API (also known as IBRIX Object API) shares. Disable the auditing feature
before you disable the Express Query feature.
a.

To disable auditing, enter the following command:

ibrix_fs -A [-f FSNAME] -oa audit_mode=off

b.

Remove all StoreAll REST API shares created in the file system by entering the following
command:

ibrix_httpshare -d -f

c.

To disable the Express Query settings on a file system, enter the following command:

ibrix_fs -T -D -f FSNAME

2.

To re-enable the Express Query settings on a file system , enter the following command:

ibrix_fs -T -E -f FSNAME

3.

(Optional) To re-enable auditing, enter the following command:

ibrix_fs -A [-f FSNAME] -oa audit_mode=on

4.

To recreate your REST API HTTP shares, enter the ibrix_httpshare -a command with the
appropriate parameters. See

“Using HTTP” (page 108)

.

Express Query re-synchronizes the file system and the database by using the restored database
information. This process might take some time.

5.

Wait for the metadata resync process to finish. Enter the following command to monitor the
resync process for a file system:

ibrix_archiving —l

The status should be at OK for the file system before you proceed. Refer to the ibrix_archiving
section in the

HP IBRIX 9000 Storage CLI Reference Guide

for information about the other

states.

6.

Import your previously exported custom metadata and audit logs according to

“Importing

metadata to a file system” (page 165)

.

ibrix_pv -a discovers too many or too few devices

This situation occurs when file serving nodes see devices multiple times. To prevent this, modify
the LVM2 filter in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf to filter only on devices used by IBRIX software. This will
change the output of lvmdiskscan.

By default, the following filter finds all devices:

filter = [ "a/.*/" ]

The following filter finds all sd devices:

filter = [ "a|^/dev/sd.*|", "r|^.*|" ]

Contact HP Support if you need assistance.

Cannot mount on an IBRIX 9000 client

Verify the following:

The file system is mounted and functioning on the file serving nodes.

The mountpoint exists on the 9000 client. If not, create the mountpoint locally on the client.

Software management services have been started on the 9000 client (see “Starting and
stopping processes” in the

administrator guide

for your system).
