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 host users and 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 process can take 1-3 hours to add new storage.
NOTE: Adding the third or more storage enclosure requires you to relocate one of the existing SAS
connections to the new enclosure. Follow the cabling instructions carefully and always ensure that no
more than one SAS cable at a time is disconnected throughout the upgrade process.
Powering off the system
See Rack warnings for information on safe handling of the enclosure.
WARNING: Always power off the StoreOnce System before powering off disk enclosures.
Procedure
1. Power off the StoreOnce System using the StoreOnce Management Console.
2. Power off all storage enclosures by disconnecting the power cables from the mains power.
