Planning for the Capacity Upgrade
IMPORTANT:
The HP D2D4112 Backup System will be offline while the Capacity Upgrade Kit is installed and the
expansion process is completed to expand to the increased 2–shelf capacity. This means that the HP
D2D cannot be used for backup or replication during the expansion process.
It is important to allow sufficient downtime for the expansion process to complete. Depending upon
the amount of data on the original system, this can take from 5 minutes to more than 12 hours to
complete. Make sure that host users are aware that the system will not be available for backup and
restore and check to see how any scheduled jobs, such as replication and tape backup, may be
affected.
