Converting to HA
StorNext M660 Metadata Appliance Hardware Guide 67
• The current user account will eventually time out and the GUI will
stop functioning when the power to Metadata Appliance is
removed during reboot. Status updates will cease and the GUI will
not be fully-functional again until the system completes rebooting
both MDC nodes.
Post-Upgrade Failover
If you desire to failover your system after the upgrade, see Initiating a
Graceful System Failover on page 70.
Deleting Uploaded Files Follow these steps to delete uploaded files you no longer need:
1 Log into the StorNext GUI.
2 Choose Tools > Firmware Upgrade.
3 The Firmware Upgrade page appears
4 Select from the list the file you want to delete, and then click
Delete. (If you want to delete multiple files, you must delete them
one at a time.)
5 When a confirmation appears, click Yes to proceed or No to abort.
When a message informs you that the file was successfully deleted, click
OK.
Converting to HA
Note: If you are upgrading to StorNext 5 or later from StorNext 4.7 or
later, and have previously converted your system to HA
configuration, the conversion process is unnecessary.
Previously-converted systems will not be taken out of HA
configuration, so the option to convert to HA is unavailable.
However, for StorNext releases prior to 4.7, an HA conversion is
necessary after StorNext software upgrades.
