The following example shows the Summary screen after the Capacity Upgrade Kit has been installed and the HP StoreOnce Backup System has two shelves with 24 disks. Planning for the Capacity Upgrade IMPORTANT: HP StoreOnce systems that do not contain any data will complete the expansion process in around 5 minutes. Systems that already have data stored will take considerably longer and the time required to complete the expansion process will depend on the number of capacity upgrade shelves and the amount of data stored on the unit. For example, an HP StoreOnce 4100 Series system running at close to full capacity will take up to 12 hours in most cases but a HP StoreOnce 4300 Series system running at close to full capacity (without any existing capacity upgrade) could take up to 48 hours, and potentially take over 96 hours to complete with an existing capacity upgrade. Please note that all devices remain offline during the expansion process. No backup, replication or tape attach scheduled jobs can occur and the process cannot be cancelled once started. 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.
