Planning for the capacity upgrade
The StoreOnce System remains available and the existing storage remains accessible during the
capacity upgrade process. However, HPE recommends the following:
• Schedule the capacity upgrade as a maintenance activity during a quiet period.
• Notify administrators of the upgrade plan.
• Check to see how any scheduled jobs, such as replication, might be affected by decreased
performance.
• Check the status of the existing storage and resolve any issues before proceeding with the capacity
upgrade.
The length of the upgrade process, including installing, cabling, licensing, and configuring the new
storage, depends on the size of the upgrade. The entire upgrade process can take 1-2 hours.
Enabling maintenance mode when using StoreOnce Remote Support
If StoreOnce Remote Support is configured, put the StoreOnce System into maintenance mode before
installing the upgrade. Enabling maintenance mode prevents the system from generating unwanted
support calls during the installation process.
Procedure
1. Navigate to the StoreOnce System and log in to the StoreOnce Management Console.
2. On the main menu, select Settings.
