• Stop all active backup jobs (see your backup application). Any
backup jobs that are run during the upgrade will fail.
• Make sure all replication jobs are complete (see
Replication on page 113). If replication or synchronization jobs
are nearly complete, Quantum recommends allowing them to
complete before upgrading.
• Make sure space reclamation is complete (see
Reclamation on page 371). If space reclamation is nearly
complete, Quantum recommends allowing it to complete
before upgrading.
• Download a system diagnostics file and transfer the file to a
safe repository off of the DXi (see
page 360). The system diagnostics file can help in resolving
problems if they occur.
3 Confirm that you have completed all pre-upgrade actions by
selecting the Ready to install check box.
Note: The Ready to install check box and the Install button are
disabled if there are any outstanding administration alerts
or service tickets.
4 To begin the upgrade process, click Install.
Read the onscreen information to learn what to expect during the
upgrade. The bottom status bar displays installation progress, and a
message displays if a reboot is required.
Depending on the type of upgrade, the DXi may be placed in service
mode for about an hour. While in service mode, the system will shut
down all backup and replication services. If necessary, the DXi will
restart one or more times to complete the upgrade.
Note: If you decide not to install the software upgrade after
downloading it, click Remove Software Upgrade File to
remove the current download from the DXi.
Note: Clear your Web browser cache before logging on to the remote
management console for the first time following the software
upgrade. This will ensure the remote management console
displays correctly.
