HPE StoreOnce 3100

Checking for the latest software
Checking the StoreOnce software version
It is good practice to verify that the system is running the latest software after installation.
Procedure
1. Click on StoreOnce in the Navigator and look at the Software Revision under System Information.
2. Check HPE Support to find out if a later software release is available at http://www.hpe.com/
support/softwaredepot.
3. Download the software release and follow the instructions in the accompanying Release Notes to
install the software.
Remote event reporting
It is a good idea to enable Remote Event Suppression mode when upgrading firmware and software.
When enabled, Remote Event Suppression flags all outbound event messages to let the HPE Support
team that the system is undergoing some form of maintenance, such as network reconfiguration, that
does not require a case to be raised with HPE Support. On the StoreOnce GUI select Events in the
Navigator and go to the Settings tab. Or use the StoreOnce CLI command system enable
remoteeventsuppression "reason", as described in the StoreOnce System CLI Reference
Guide.
Remote event suppression is automatically disabled after 24 hours or after a reboot. Or run system
disable remoteeventsuppression to re-enable normal event notification once you have finished
the software or firmware update.

Viewing and upgrading firmware
When subsequently adding storage to a StoreOnce 5500 or 5100 System, or adding 10 GbE Network or
FC cards to a StoreOnce 5500, 5100 System or 3500 Series, it is also good practice to check for firmware
updates before installing the storage or Optional Hardware.
Procedure
1. Select Firmware from the Device Configuration menu item in the Navigator.
2. Click Scan to perform a check on the currently installed firmware versions for all components
associated to the selected node. This will populate the firmware tabs. This may take several minutes
to run.
NOTE:
The scan will fail if a firmware update is already in progress.
