The StorNext setup wizard guides you through the process of upgrading
StorNext File System on a metadata controller running Windows 2000 or
Windows 2003 Server. (The installation wizard also installs the client software on
the MDC.)
Before upgrading StorNext, remove any previously installed versions (see
Removing a Previous Version of StorNext).
When you are ready, use the setup wizard to upgrade StorNext (see Running the
Setup Wizard).
(Optional) After upgrading, restore the previous client configuration (see
Restoring a Previous Client Configuration on page 13).
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.
