Boot the appliance and install the StoreOnce 3.x.x Software 1. Make sure that power, network, keyboard and monitor, and all expansion enclosures are attached to the StoreOnce appliance that you are converting. Insert the QR USB stick into one of the front or rear USB port and power on the system. IMPORTANT: The QR USB stick should be the only USB storage device attached to the appliance. Ensure that there are no other USB sticks attached and remove any integrated KVM devices which may be presenting storage devices to the appliance. 2. After the system powers up and completes self-tests it will boot from the USB key and launch the Linux installation process. 3. After a few seconds a boot splash screen will appear offering the choice of Reimage (R) or Exit (E). Press R to continue the installation process. 4. A warning will be displayed indicating that all data will be lost after typing "yes". THIS IS THE LAST CHANCE TO EXIT THE INSTALL PROCESS WITHOUT DATA LOSS. Type "yes" to continue. NOTE: If you select "no", the system will immediately reboot and you will need to remove the USB stick. 5. The installation process will now continue and will: 1. Delete existing Logical storage configuration on the appliance head disks. 2. Create a new Logical storage partition. Depending on the appliance type, this may be a pair of mirrored disks or a LUN stripe across all disks in the appliance. 3. Install the operating system and appliance software on the system. 4. After installation completes you will be prompted to remove the USB stick and reboot. Press a key to reboot the system. Complete first boot appliance configuration When the system first boots into the 3.4.x (or later) StoreOnce software it will run through a set of first boot setup tasks. This is mostly automated but you will be required to press 2 to continue at two stages in the process. At these points a message will indicate that this is the last chance to prevent data loss. In fact re-configuration has already occurred at this point. Pressing 1 will result in the system rebooting back into the first boot configuration phase again. During the final parts of the first boot process some modules will report that they failed to load. This is normal for this phase of the configuration process. After completion of this process you will be presented with a login prompt that shows the default appliance name which is HP. At this point the appliance installation is complete but there is no storage configured and a default network configuration has been applied. Log into the appliance StoreOnce CLI It is now possible to log into the appliance using the default credentials: Username = Admin Password = admin NOTE: These are different from the default credentials used for 2.x.x software products. After logging in a error message will be presented: "Error reading VTL configuration parameters. Some VTL commands will not work correctly." This is normal at this point because there is not yet any storage configured. 20 Software Installation and configuration
