Script

6On the Upgrade Menu, type 2 and press <Enter>.

The StorNext installation script runs and displays the current progress of the upgrade.

Note: To customize the installation, select option 1 on the Upgrade Menu. For more information about changing configuration options, see the StorNext 3.5.1 Installation Guide.

7When the upgrade is complete, press <Enter> to return to the Main Menu.

8To exit the installation script, type 4 and press <Enter>.

9Run a rebuild policy.

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.
