Power on/off requirements
Many of the maintenance procedures described in this guide require the system to be powered
off. Advise users of the Maintenance window when the HPE StoreOnce System will be unavailable
and use the StoreOnce GUI or CLI to power off cleanly and then disconnect the system from the
power supply.
To power off
•
StoreOnce GUI: Select
Maintenance
from the Navigator and click
Shutdown
.
•
StoreOnce CLI: Use the StoreOnce CLI command
system shutdown
.
HPE StoreOnce 5100 System only: Any storage enclosure attached to the head server is
automatically powered off at the same time. Storage enclosures do not have separate power
on/off buttons but should be unplugged from the power supply before carrying out maintenance
activities.
To power on
HPE StoreOnce 5100 System only: Reconnect all storage enclosures to the power supply first.
They are automatically powered on. Allow the power on to complete before powering on the
head server; wait for the LEDs to show solid green..

IMPORTANT:
Before carrying out maintenance activities read
General precautions and safety
guidelines (page 16)
.
Upgrading BIOS or hardware firmware components
NOTE:
It is a good idea to enable Remote Event Suppression mode when upgrading firmware
and software. When enabled, Remote Event Suppression flags all outbound event messages to
let the HPE Support team know that the system is undergoing some form of maintenance, such
as network reconfiguration, that does not require a case to be raised with HPE Support. On the
StoreOnce GUI select
Events
in the Navigator and go to the
Settings
tab. Or use the StoreOnce
CLI command
system enable remoteeventsuppression "reason"
, as described in the
HPE StoreOnce System CLI Reference Guide
.
The currently supported firmware component updates are embedded in the StoreOnce software.
Therefore, to ensure that you are using the currently supported firmware component updates,
always use the StoreOnce GUI or the StoreOnce CLI to check and update the BIOS and hardware
firmware components. Do not upgrade BIOS or hardware firmware components individually using
downloads from the HPE Support website.
Performing firmware maintenance from the StoreOnce GUI
