Upgrade Procedure using the Command Line Interface

Some upgrade paths do not support the use of the FTP Upgrade Procedure. If you have
received a StorTrends® CD (with a newer build than the one that is currently installed),
you must follow the instructions that are included in the CD. If no instructions are
provided with the CD, follow the instructions outlined in this section.
The following instructions are provided as an example to such an installation procedure.
It also requires that you be in front of the actual Storage Appliance that you are
attempting to upgrade.

Attach a Keyboard and Monitor

Attach a keyboard and monitor to your StorTrends 1300 storage appliance. Power on
your StorTrends 1300 storage appliance and insert the StorTrends iTX Installation CD
into the external USB CD-ROM drive.

Fully Boot into ManageTrends

This step is critical. Do NOT insert the CD until you are fully booted into the StorTrends
software. Doing so may cause you to accidentally re-install instead of upgrade.
Power on your Storage Appliance. Make sure that your Storage Appliance is fully booted
into the StorTrends® Software before inserting the latest StorTrends iTX Installation CD.
