6. Read and follow the instructions in each of the pre-flight checks. The pre-flight checks
can differ depending on the type of upgrade, but typical checks include the following:
● Delete all outstanding administration alerts (see "Admin Alerts" on page 419).
● Close all outstanding service tickets (see "Service Tickets" on page 420).
● Stop all active backup jobs (see your backup application).
● Make sure all replication jobs are complete or nearly complete (see "Repli-
cation" on page 341).
● Make sure space reclamation is complete or nearly complete (see "Space
Reclamation" on page 438).
● Download a system diagnostics file and transfer the file to a safe repository off
of the ETERNUS CS800 (see "System Diag File" on page 429). The system
diagnostics file can help in resolving problems if they occur.
7. After you have completed all pre-flight checks, confirm that you are ready to continue
by selecting the Confirmation check box.

mode for about 30 minutes. While in service mode, the system will shut down all backup
and replication services. If necessary, the ETERNUS CS800 will restart after the
upgrade is complete.
