Import your previously exported custom metadata and audit logs according to

“Importing

metadata to a file system” (page 220)

.

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 StoreAll 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 a StoreAll client

Verify the following:

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

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

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

administrator guide

for your system).
