Use the appropriate commands to perform the required tasks.
Software update process
1. Identify the version of software currently installed on the system from the StoreOnce page of
the GUI or by using the StoreOnce CLI command,
system show packages
.
2. Locate the latest software on the HP Support pages — go to http://www.hp.com/support
and search for your product. If you need to upgrade, download the software, delivered as a
single RPM file.
IMPORTANT: Always refer to the Release Notes accompanying the software for detailed
update instructions.
3. Using an SFTP application,
sftp
the package (
<part_number>.rpm
) to the
repository
folder on the HP StoreOnce Backup system.
4. Open the
puTTy
(or other
ssh
) application, login to the StoreOnce CLI as an Admin user,
and enter the following CLI commands:
•
system show repository
which should list out the rpm file you copied over
•
system load package <part_number>.rpm
which will load and unpack the
package
•
system show packages
which will show you the packages staged ready for update
NOTE: The name of the package once it is loaded and unpacked is in the format:
D2D_Master-<software_revision_info>.rpm
•
system update packages
which will begin the process to upgrade and reboot the
system

Upgrading BIOS or hardware firmware components
Do not upgrade BIOS or hardware firmware components individually using downloads from the
HP Support website because currently supported firmware component updates are already
embedded within the StoreOnce software. Always use the StoreOnce CLI to implement BIOS and
hardware firmware component checks and updates.
•
Use
hardware show firmware <node|storage>
to check the versions currently running
on the StoreOnce Backup system. Check the Action column. There may be instances where
replacement hardware may need a firmware downgrade to bring it in line with the supported
firmware version of the installed StoreOnce software on the system being maintained. Use the
force
parameter in the following command to enable this.
•
Use
hardware update firmware <node|storage> [force]
to implement any updates
that were packaged with the latest StoreOnce software download; there are two parameters
