Isilon Manual Instruction
New Validations. Expect to get warnings post upgrade. This is expected and is a key feature of this release to detect failover conditions that must be addressed to be ready for failover. If you get alarms it is good, so the issues can be fixed.- SyncIQ Domain Mark for fast fail back - checks both clusters to verify if SyncIQ domain mark exists and will raise warning if not found (NOTE: it will raise warning if you did not apply sudo update on step #1)
- SPN Delegation for Access zone and IP pool failover - This check AD Delegation was completed to the cluster AD objects and the opposite cluster (cross test). If any test fails it will raise a warning with exactly which delegation permission is missing.
- DNS Dual Delegation - This ensures automatic DNS resolution is in place before a failover. This validation will inspect your DNS configuration to determine if the Delegation is correct, A records resolve to subnet service ip's in the correct subnet. If you use Infoblox this validation must be disabled. It only supports standards based Name server delegations and not DNS forwarding.
Before Executing Upgrade Steps
- The upgrade will disrupt Eyeglass services for less than 10 minutes
- A VM level snapshot should be taken before upgrade to allow rollback to the previous version of the appliance
Inplace Upgrades

Upgrade to A New Appliance from an Old Appliance
- Follow the steps in the next sections to complete the backup and restore process from an old appliance to a new appliance
Step 1 - Upgrade Path From Old Appliance Versions to Open Suse 15.1 OS with the latest Release - Backup/Restore Method
All Appliance versions prior to latest version are using Open Suse OS versions that no longer have security patches available (13.1, 13.2 , 42.1, 42.3). Use this upgrade option to get upgraded to the latest Eyeglass release and get the latest Open Suse 15.1 OS that includes automatic security patch updates. NOTE: If you are using an older version appliance backup file some settings are not retained depending on the backup file release version. The table in this document outlines settings that are migrated.
- Follow steps to download the new OVF here
- Deploy new Eyeglass VM using the install guide as a reference.
- NOTE: The new appliance ip address can be different than the old appliance IP.
- Reference the table of settings that are migrated in the next section.
- After the new appliance is deployed and you can login to the webUI and ssh then continue with the steps below.

- All existing Eyeglass databases are removed, no backup is made.
- NOTE: This will delete databases and they will be rediscovered on startup. DO NOT USE this method if you have Cluster Storage Monitor or Ransomware Defender historical events or RPO Report data that you need to retain. Contact support if this applies to you scenario.
Step 2 - Information to Record before Upgrading
- Take a screenshot of the Eyeglass Jobs window prior to upgrade. This can be used as a reference to verify Job state and type. Example auto type or dfs type.
- (if IP pool mode configured) Take a screenshot of the IP Pool failover policy to pool mappings
Step 3 - Restore Zip File (old appliance) and Restore to New Appliance Procedures
- Take an Eyeglass Restore backup from your old Eyeglass appliance.
- Download the Restore backup locally and then copy the zip file backup using scp or winscp to the newly deployed Eyeglass Appliance. It should be placed in /tmp folder .
- See Restore Backup button that is required versus support backup. The Restore backup includes SSL private keys, the support backup does not. This applies to Releases > 2.5.3
- Power off the old Eyeglass appliance. It is not supported to have multiple Eyeglass appliances managing the same clusters.
- SSH to new Eyeglass appliance and login as admin (default password 3y3gl4ss). Issue “sudo su -” to enter in root mode (default password 3y3gl4ss).
- igls app restore /tmp/<eyeglass_backup.xxxx.zip> --anyrelease
