Delete Storage; Boot The Appliance And Install The Storeonce Software; Performing A Configuration Restore - HP StoreOnce 4900 Service And Maintenance Manual

Delete storage

Before running QR, it is advisable to remove all configured storage on the appliance. If you do
not remove all configured storage, you may get error messages during QR, reporting the presence
of Alien LUNs.
1. Use the following StoreOnce CLI to remove all configured storage on the appliance (except
that used by the operating system):
hardware delete storage all
2. This command will clean up all filesystem configuration and delete logical drives (LUNs) on
all storage devices.

Boot the appliance and install the StoreOnce software

Make sure that power, network, keyboard and monitor, and all expansion enclosures are attached
to the StoreOnce appliance, then insert the QR USB stick into a USB port and power on the
system.
After the system powers up and completes self-tests, it will boot from the USB key and launch
the Linux installation process.
NOTE: An error will be displayed: [Firmware Bug]: the BIOS has corrupted hw-PMU
resources (MSR 38d is 330). This error does not have any effect on the StoreOnce solution
and is an expected output during QR. The customer or support engineer does not need to take
any action.
After a few seconds, a boot splash screen will appear offering the choice of Restore (R) or Exit
(E). To continue to the installation process, press R.
A warning will now be displayed indicating that all data will be lost after entering "yes". THIS IS
THE LAST CHANCE TO EXIT THE INSTALL PROCESS WITHOUT DATA LOSS.
Enter "yes" to continue.
The installation process will now continue and will:
1. Delete the existing logical storage configuration on the appliance server disks.
2. Create a new logical storage partition; depending on the appliance type this may be a pair
of mirrored disks or a LUN stripe across all disks in the appliance.
3. Install the Operating System and appliance software on the system.
4. After installation completes, you will be prompted to remove the USB stick and reboot. To
reboot the system, press a key.
5. During the reboot process, the system will perform an install process and return to the login
prompt. During this sequence, you may need to answer questions presented on the console
screen.

Performing a configuration restore

This process is normally carried out after a quick restore (QR) or if a replacement appliance has
been received. It restores the appliance to the same state as it was when the configuration file
was created. It is important that there are no configured backup target devices on the appliance.
IMPORTANT:
ID is the same as the System ID that can be found on the Device Management page of the
StoreOnce Management Console. Its value is assigned in the factory set up process and is a
12–character string in the format HP<SerialNumber of Appliance>.
