Installing the v2.1 Software Update

Installing the v2.1 software is not necessary if you used a QuickRestore CD that
restores the Storage Management Appliance with version 2.1 of the software.

If you used any other version of the QuickRestore CD, install the v2.1 software
update after you have restored the factory-installed software and reinstalled all
value-added HP storage management applications.

See the HP OpenView Storage Management Appliance Software Update
Installation Card
for details on installing the Storage Management Appliance
software v2.1.

Reinstalling Optional Backup Software

If you used optional, third-party backup software to complete the most recent
backup of the Storage Management Appliance, you must now install that software
on the SMA. Many backup products require an agent to be installed on the SMA.

See the Storage Management Appliance Software Using Backup Software
Application Notes
for more information about compatible backup software. This
document is available from the following website:

http://h18006.www1.hp.com/products/sanworks/managementappliance/documentation.html

.

Restoring the Database and Configuration Data

You can now restore the Storage Management Appliance database and
configuration data.

If you completed the most recent backup using the Storage Management
Appliance Backup feature on the Maintenance page (Settings > Maintenance)
then use the Restore feature available on the same page. See “

Backing Up and

Restoring Data Files

” on page 77 for more information.

If you completed the most recent backup using another backup product, use that
product’s procedures for restoring the Storage Management Appliance database
and configuration data.

Note:

You cannot restore the Storage Management Appliance software v2.1 using

backup data from a previous version of the software.
