Replacing, adding, and removing hardware, and upgrading firmware 8–20
5. When the command prompt returns, the upgrade is complete. Reboot the server to bring the new
firmware into effect.
6. When the server has rebooted, enter the
vstat
command and verify that the firmware has been
correctly upgraded.
8.3 Adding and removing components
This section describes how to add and remove components in an HP SFS system, and is organized as
follows:
• Adding Object Storage Servers (Section 8.3.1)
• Removing Object Storage Servers (Section 8.3.2)
• Adding SFS20 arrays (Section 8.3.3)
• Removing SFS20 arrays (Section 8.3.4)
• Adding a dual or a bonded Gigabit Ethernet interconnect (Section 8.3.5)
• Removing a dual or a bonded Gigabit Ethernet interconnect (Section 8.3.6)
8.3.1 Adding Object Storage Servers
It is possible to add Object Storage Servers to an existing HP SFS system. Because servers are organized in
pairs, you must add new Object Storage Servers in pairs.
The following instructions describe how to add a pair of Object Storage Servers to an existing HP SFS system
that already has four servers (an administration server, an MDS server, and two Object Storage Servers).
You can adapt the procedure to add a number of pairs of Object Storage Servers at the same time:
1. Configure the ProLiant DL servers as described in Chapter 6 and Chapter 7 of the HP StorageWorks
Scalable File Share System Installation and Upgrade Guide.
2. Back up the database, as follows:
# sfsmgr
.
.
.
sfs> create database_backup
3. Save the backup file to an external system, as shown in the following example, where the full name of
the backup file is
/var/hpls.local/hplsdb_20040311-1041.tar.gz
, the external system
host address is
16.123.123.1
, and the account on the host is named
fred
:
# scp /var/hpls.local/hplsdb_200403011-1041.tar.gz \
[email protected]:/home/fred
4. Enter the
configure system
command, select the option for the
System
menu, and then increase
the number of servers in the system (from four to six in this example), as follows:
sfs> configure system
This menu allows you to specify or update configuration data. If

reenter it again. Your changes do not take affect until you exit.
If you choose to quit, all changes you have made are discarded.
At any stage you can enter ? to get more help on the topic.
To update data select one or all of the following sections:
