HPE StoreOnce Remote Support uses STaTS to send remote event notifications from the StoreOnce System to HPE Support. If you have configured HPE StoreOnce Remote Support for use on your system, run the following StoreOnce CLI command before commencing the maintenance activity to suppress remote event reporting.
3. Verify the status of the system from the StoreOnce GUI. Upgrading BIOS or hardware firmware components Do not upgrade BIOS or hardware firmware components individually using downloads from the HPE Support website because currently supported firmware component updates are already embedded within the StoreOnce software.
To establish which StoreOnce software version is installed, click on StoreOnce in the Navigator and look at the Software Revision under System Information. To find out if a later software release is available, check HPE Support at http://www.hpe.com/support/ softwaredepot. If it is, download the software release and follow the instructions in the accompanying Release Notes to install the software.
However, they do not capture power-on self-test hardware-related issues. Always refer to the HPE ProLiant Maintenance and Service Guide for Power-On Self-Test (POST) information. To view POST messages, you will need a system console attached to the HPE StoreOnce System.
Resetting the password for the local Admin user Procedure 1. Gain access to the local system console either using a locally attached USB keyboard and Monitor or via iLO remote console. 2. At the Login prompt type: HPresetpassword 3. When prompted for the password enter the current password. The default is hpresetpassword, but if you are following best practices you will have changed this Password after installation.

Replacing the system motherboard Overview Refer to the HPE ProLiant DL380p Gen 9 Maintenance and Service Guide for detailed instructions on replacing the motherboard. IMPORTANT: If the status of the cache module on the failed motherboard is OK, transfer it to the replacement motherboard.
All products are shipped with paper copies of the iLO4 licenses. If you no longer have these licenses and the board is still working for the iLO4 GUI connection via its management Ethernet port, make a note of the license before you remove the motherboard. (If it is not working, contact HPE Support.) Procedure 1.
Note the output at command completion. It will advise if you need a system reboot or a cold reboot to install the new firmware revision successfully. 7. After power-up, it is necessary to rewrite warranty serial numbers into BIOS. Contact HPE Support for assistance in rewriting warranty serial numbers.
The HP p1228 RAID controller The p1228 RAID card in a StoreOnce server The StoreOnce 5500 System uses the HP p1228 RAID controller fitted with a RAID cache module and SuperCapacitor. The StoreOnce 5500 System has two RAID controllers. Cables connect the external SAS ports on the controller to the SAS storage in the disk enclosure(s).
Power off the StoreOnce 5500 System and, observing the safety and antistatic procedures documented in the HPE ProLiant Server Maintenance and Service Guide, remove the cover from the StoreOnce 5500 System, as described in the appropriate HPE ProLiant Server Maintenance and Service Guide.
Make sure the card is connected to the SuperCapacitor module and to the external SAS data storage. Replace the PCI-E Riser in the server. Replace the cover, as described in the HPE ProLiant Maintenance and Service guide, and power on the server.
Procedure 1. Remove the cover from the server, as described in the appropriate HPE ProLiant Maintenance and Service guide, and locate the module. 2. Look at the LEDs on the module. If the LEDs are blinking amber the module should be replaced. If they are flashing amber and green, the module is disconnected.

The D6020 Enclosure Maintenance and Service Guide is the main source of information and will be available initially from the StoreOnce documentation page at http://www.hpe.com/info/storeonce/docs. The standard documentation supplied with field replacement parts for the disk enclosures provides all the required details, with the following important exception.
Slot 2. There is a 1U support shelf above the head server to protect it from the weight of the disk enclosures. This is the installation that is described in the printed StoreOnce 5500 Start Here poster.
There is a third option, the factory-integrated option where the customer orders a system that is prebuilt by HPE into a rack. This installation has specific shipping requirements to keep the mass of the rack as low as possible while in transit. The server is at the lowest level and the four enclosures are installed above the server.
This configuration provides equal weight distribution in the rack. Refer to the StoreOnce 5500 System Capacity Upgrade Guide for detailed step-by-step cabling instructions. Figure 10: Cabling showing two enclosures installed either side of the server NOTE: Enclosure #1 and Enclosure #3 are in Storage Cluster 1, connected to the RAID controller card in slot 2.
