HPE has introduced a new PersonaProfile that depending on how your array is configured you made need to change each nodes mode from "block-only" to block-preferred" As of today this process is undocumented so I thought I would share it with everyone.
When running "startfs -enable" you receive the following: "File Persona cannot be configured while the system is set to block-only mode. Please contact HPE Support for assistance."
You verify that the license is present (showlicense)
Preform the following steps: 1. showsys -param - at the bottom you will see "PersonaProfile : block-only" 2. shownode -PersonaProfile - This will show you that the block-perferred setting on each of the nodes is set to "block-only" 3. setsys PersonaProfile block-preferred 4. showsys -param - you will now see that the "PersonaProfile" has been changed to "block-preferred" If you check the nodes again you will see that they are all still set to "block-only" Reboot each of the nodes to enable the setting. 5. shutdownnode reboot <node#> - Use the "shownode" command to verify that the node is online before continuing tot he next node. 6. shownode -PersonaProfile - you will now see that the block-perferred policy is now set to block-perferred on all of the nodes.
