1 What's In This Version

1.1 About This Product

HP SFS G3.1-0 uses the Lustre File System on MSA2000fc hardware to provide a storage system
for standalone servers or compute clusters.

Starting with this release, HP SFS servers can be upgraded. If you are upgrading from one version
of HP SFS G3 to a more recent version, see the instructions in

“Upgrade Installation” (page 32)

.

IMPORTANT:

If you are upgrading from HP SFS version 2.3 or older, you must contact your

HP SFS 2.3 support representative to obtain the extra documentation and tools necessary for
completing that upgrade. The upgrade from HP SFS version 2.x to HP SFS G3 cannot be done
successfully with just the HP SFS G3 CD and the user's guide.

HP SFS 2.3 to HP SFS G3 upgrade documentation and tools change regularly and independently
of the HP SFS G3 releases. Verify that you have the latest available versions.

If you are upgrading from one version of HP SFS G3, on a system that was previously upgraded
from HP SFS version 2.3 or older, you must get the latest upgrade documentation and tools from
HP SFS 2.3 support.
