To upgrade to StorNext 3.0 on a metadata controller running StorNext File
System (without Storage Manager), use the appropriate method for your
operating system:
•Upgrading SNFS on Linux and Unix
•Upgrading SNFS on Windows
Note: To customize the installation, select option 1 on the Upgrade
Menu. For more information about changing configuration
options, see the StorNext 3.0 Installation Guide.
Note: Backups are run on some operating systems immediately
following the upgrade procedure. Other operating systems run the
backup after the next reboot. These backups trigger a metadata
dump that (depending on the number of files and the type of
hardware) can cause backups to take several hours.
