(Optional) After upgrading, restore the previous client configuration (see Restoring a Previous Client Configuration on page 14).

Note: You must log on as an Administrator to install StorNext.

Removing a Previous Version of StorNext

If a previous version of StorNext older than version 3.0 exists on the system, you must remove it before installing the new version. If you are upgrading from a version of StorNext newer than version 3.0, the old client configuration is retained so there is no need to restore the old configuration.

1Insert the StorNext installation CD.

2Browse to the root directory of the installation CD and double-click the file SnfsSetup64.exe (64-bit systems).

The StorNext Installation window appears (figure 4).

3Click Remove StorNext.

A dialog box appears informing you that the current client configuration has been saved.

4Note the name and location of the saved configuration file, and then click OK.

5If prompted, click Yes to continue, and then click OK to finish the removal.

6When the removal is complete, click Yes to reboot the system.

Note: After installing the new version of StorNext, you can restore the saved client configuration (see Restoring a Previous Client Configuration on page 14).
