4. Ensure that the model field reads “NOMODEL”.
5. Enter 0 (zero) for the serial number field. (A blank serial number may NOT be
used, and may cause this procedure to fail.)
6. Download the full version of the operating system to the local workstation.
Contact Technical Support to obtain this file.
7. Click the browse button and navigate to the OS upgrade file on the workstation.
Click on Install to copy the image to the server. The file transfer may take several
minutes.
When the file download has finished, you should see the following message in the
browser (your filename may vary):
Received NF402B154.IMG for installation.
You must now reboot to continue installation.
8. Reboot the server to complete the upgrade process.
If the system has at least one existing volume, StorEdge will automatically restore
the basic configuration information after the reboot, such as IP address, DNS and NT
domain information. StorEdge will reboot once again if the information is found and
successfully imported.
If no volumes are configured, this setup information must be entered manually,
according to the instructions in the Setup Poster.
Note – The system variables are backed up every four hours, at 4, 8 and 12am, and
at 4, 8 and 12pm. Therefore, this procedure may not be able to recover configuration
information for a newly installed system. In this case, you must also enter the
information manually.
If the configuration information in the /dvol/etc was backed up to tape or the RAID
volume, restore it to the same location. To restore from tape, simply restore the entire
contents of the directory using the backup software. To restore from the RAID
volume, use the console copy as follows:
1. Telnet to the StorEdge and access the CLI (Please see the FAQ or software manual
for instructions on accessing the CLI.)
2. Type load unixtools
3. Type cp –r –v <backup path> /dvol/etc, replacing <backup path> with the full
path, including volume name, to the directory containing the backed up files.
4. Check the output of the cp command to ensure that all files were successfully
copied.
