Powering on the system after completing maintenance activities
Procedure
1. For StoreOnce 4900 Backup, power on the disk enclosures and wait for 30 seconds. The power-on
button is on the rear of Drawer 2.
2. For other StoreOnce systems, power on any expansion shelves. The power-on button is on the rear of
the expansion shelf. You may need to hold down the power on button for a few seconds.
3. Power on the server. The power-on button is on the front of the server.
4. 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. Always use the StoreOnce CLI or the StoreOnce GUI to implement BIOS and
hardware firmware component checks and updates.
Updating firmware using the StoreOnce GUI
Procedure
1. Select Firmware to view the firmware versions for hardware components, and to update firmware
versions if required.
The Firmware window appears with the following tabs:
•
Server: Contains firmware details for all server components.
•
Storage: Contains firmware details for all storage components.
2. To perform a check on the currently installed firmware versions for all components, click Scan.
This action will populate the firmware tabs and may take several minutes to run.
NOTE: If a firmware update is already in progress, the scan will fail.
After running a Scan, the Recommended Action field in the component list is updated to show
whether individual components require an upgrade or a downgrade. Components requiring an
upgrade are automatically selected. Components requiring a downgrade are not automatically
selected. A downgrade takes longer to complete and is optional for some components, such as hard
drives. It may be carried out separately, if required, after the upgrade has completed.
NOTE: When the firmware updates are initiated, the backup devices will be taken offline. Before
performing this step, check that there are no outstanding backup jobs pending.
IMPORTANT: Do not shutdown or reboot your system or any system component until the final
step. Special instructions may apply.
3. Click Update Selected or Update All. (Update All will attempt to update all components that are in
the state where there is an update recommended; it will not try to update components that do not need
an update.)
