PowerScale OneFS Upgrade Planning and Process Guide

Complete system jobs

Ensure that no system jobs are running during the upgrade by allowing system jobs to finish before the upgrade starts, or by cancelling them. OneFS performs system jobs through a service that runs in the background, and if any system jobs are running during the upgrade, the upgrade process might fail.
  1. To check for running system jobs, run the following command, and make a note of the job ID for any jobs that you want to cancel:
    isi job status
  2. To cancel a job, run the following command where <job_id> is the ID of the job you want to cancel:
    isi job jobs cancel <job_id>
    NOTE:Do not cancel the Upgrade, FlexProtect, FlexProtectLin, or IntegrityScan jobs. If any of these four system jobs are running, you cannot continue with the upgrade. If an Upgrade, FlexProtect, FlexProtectLin, or IntegrityScan system job takes longer than expected to complete, contact Dell Technologies Support.
    NOTE:Sync polices and jobs must be canceled or paused in order for the upgrade to complete successfully.
