Getting the Media Updates for HyperScale X Appliance

Download and setup the most recent updates for HyperScale X Appliance media, so that the nodes can be deployed with the latest software.

Before You Begin

Power on the nodes.

Note

Recommended: Power on 3 un-configured nodes at a time. (If you have more than 3 un-configured nodes, you can add the other nodes later.)

Configuring the Block (1)

Tip

Press <Alt> + <Ctrl> + <F2> if the login prompt is not displayed.
Note down the serial number (Hostname) for the node. This will be useful to identify the node during setup.

Procedure

Login to the node using the following default credentials:

Login: root

Password: cvadmin

Note

This password can be changed during setup.
Identify the software version available in the node using the following command:
```
# cat /etc/CommVaultRegistry/Galaxy/Instance001/MediaAgent/.properties | grep -I sHyperScaleImageidentifier
```
The output from the above command will display the software version available in the node. For example:
```
sHyperScaleImageidentifier Commvault HyperScale 2.1
```
Login to a Windows based computer that can connect to the nodes.
Download the HSHotfixMedia-<version> from Commvault Store.

For example, if the software version available in the nodes (step 2 above) is Commvault HyperScale 2.1, then download HSHotfixMedia-2.1 from Commvault Store .
Attach the downloaded media (ISO) as a virtual media using either the KVM or IPMI console:
- KVM Management Console: Map the downloaded ISO image as a virtual media.
  
  Click here to view a sample image
- IPMI Management Console: Mount the ISO image as a Virtual Media.

  1. Login to a remote workstation, that has access to the HyperScale nodes.
  2. Open a web browser from a remote workstation and enter the static IP associated with the IPMI.

  3. Type in the credentials for the default administrator account as follows:
    
    Username: ADMIN
    
    Password: ADMIN
  4. Click Login.
    
    The IPMI Web Server interface is displayed.
  5. Launch the Remote Console window as follows:
    1. Click inside the Remote Console preview.
      
      This will launch a Java Applet.
    2. Run the Java applet to start the Remote Console Window.
      
      Alternatively, if you do not want to use Java Applet, you can use HTML5 viewer. Click Remote Control > iKVM/HTML5 and then click the iKVM/HTML5 button.
      
      The Remote Console window will be displayed.
    3. Login using the following default credentials:
      
      Login:root
      
      Password:cvadmin
      
      Press < Alt> + <Ctrl> + <F2> if the login prompt is not displayed.
  6. Map the downloaded ISO image as follows:
    1. From the menu, click Virtual Media > Virtual Storage.
      
      The Virtual Storage dialog box is displayed.
      
      From the Logical Drive Type list, select ISO File.
      
      Click the Open Image button and navigate to the folder containing the downloaded package.
      
      Select the file and then click Open.
      
      Click the Plug in button.
      
      Ensure that the Connection Status History displays the message VM Plug-In OK!!.
      
      Click OK.
Verify that the ISO image is visible to the Operating System using the following command:
```
# lsblk | grep -I sr*
```
The output from the above command will display the ISO image as /dev/sr0 (or sr1 or sr2) with type rom. For example:

Perform the following steps, if the ISO image is not visible:
- Run the following commands:
```
# modprobe --ignore-install usb_storage
# modprobe uas
```
- Re-run the lsblk command to ensure that the ISO image is visible.
Create a directory for the media.
```
# mkdir /UpdateMediaFolder
```

Mount the directory.

 
# mount /dev/sr0 /UpdateMediaFolder (or sr1 or sr2)

Navigate to the mount directory.
```
# cd /UpdateMediaFolder
```
Run the script to install the updates.
```
# ./HSHotfixMediaInstall
```
The script will install the updates and will log the progress in the following log file:

/var/log/commvault/Log_Files/CVFixedMediaInstall.log

Tip

During the installation, a blank output screen may be displayed. If that happens, press any key to correctly display the output.

Once the installation is complete, the restart prompt will be displayed.
Type N and press <Enter>.

You must configure the network for Data Protection Network and Storage Pool Network, and also Configure the Block, before rebooting the node.
