Introduction 3

Introduction

This document provides instructions for upgrading the storage capacity of a

Quantum DXi4700 disk backup system. There are two methods for upgrading

storage capacity:

•Adding a Storage Capacity License - Upgrade the usable capacity of the

system by adding license keys (6TB, 8TB, and 18TB) to enable hardware

capacity that is already installed in the system. For example, you can

upgrade the usable capacity of a 5 TB system to 11 TB simply by adding a

storage capacity license key. See Ta ble 1 for the licensed usable capacities

that are available for each hardware configuration.

•Adding Additional Hardware Capacity - Upgrade the usable capacity of

the system by installing additional hardware capacity along with a storage

capacity license key. See Tab le 1 for supported configurations.

• Upgrade the base Node with 6 additional hard drives for a total of 12

hard drives (4 TB each).

• Add up to three Expansion modules (JBODs) to the system. Each

Expansion module contains 12 hard drives (4 TB each).

Note: You

must

upgrade the Node to a total of 12 hard drives before

adding Expansion modules to the system.

Preparing for the Capacity Upgrade 5

Software Upgrades It is highly recommended that you upgrade to the latest version of DXi Software

before starting a capacity upgrade. For more information on software upgrades,

see the “Software Upgrades” section of the

DXi4700 User’s Guide

(6-68106).

Checking System Health Make sure the following conditions are met before you continue with the

capacity upgrade:

• All backup jobs are completed and there is no pending I/O.

• All replication jobs are completed, and replication is paused (Replication >

Actions page).

• All space reclamation tasks are completed without errors (Utilities > Space

Reclamation page).

• All healthchecks are completed without errors (Utilities > Space

Reclamation page).

• All components in the system display Normal status (Status > Hardware

page).

• All outstanding administration alerts are deleted (Alerts > Admin Alerts

page).

• All service tickets are closed (Alerts > Service Tickets page).

For more information, see the

DXi4700 User’s Guide

(6-68106), or click Help >

Help Contents in the remote management console to display the DXi online

help.

Gathering Necessary

Tools

The following tools are required for the storage capacity upgrade:

• Small flat head screwdriver

Taking ESD Precautions Some components within the DXi4700 system contain static-sensitive parts. To

avoid damaging these parts while performing installation procedures, always

observe the following precautions:

• Keep static-sensitive parts in their original shipping containers until ready

for installation.

• Do not place static-sensitive parts on a metal surface. Place them inside their

protective shipping bag or on an antistatic mat.

• Wear anti-static wrist bands when unpacking and handling the units, and

avoid touching connectors and other components.

Note: Dry climates and cold-weather heating environments have lower

relative humidity and are more likely to produce static electricity.

6Capacity Upgrade Overview

Capacity Upgrade Overview

To upgrade the usable capacity of the DXi4700 by enabling hardware capacity

that is already installed in the system, simply enter the storage capacity license

keys (6TB, 8TB, and 18TB). Skip directly to Installing the Storage Capacity License

on page 38.

To upgrade the usable capacity of the DXi4700 by installing additional hardware

capacity, you need to install one or more components. The components you

need to install depend on the initial usable capacity and the total usable

capacity after the upgrade (see Ta b l e 2 ):

• Node hard drives (4 TB each) (6)

• Memory modules (4 GB DIMMs) (8 or 16)

• H810 RAID controller card (DXi4700 G1)

• H830 RAID Controller (DXi4700 G2) (1)

• Expansion Modules (JBODS) (1 to 3)

Table 2 DXi4700 Hardware

Capacity Upgrades

Determining the DXi4700 Model

Before starting a capacity upgrade, you will need to determine if the DXi system

is a DXi4700 G1 or DXi4700 G2. The DXi4700 model information is located on

the pull-out information tag on the front of the Node (see Figure 1). T

• The DXi4700 G2 information tag does not include “G1” in the part number

(see Figure 2).

• The DXi4700 G1 information tag does include “G2” in the part number (see

Figure 3).

Unpacking the Upgrade Components 9

Unpacking the Upgrade Components

Depending on the hardware capacity upgrade you are performing, the

necessary components ship in one or more boxes. Each box includes a label that

notes the number of the box and the total number of boxes in the shipment (for

example, box 1 of 3). MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE ALL BOXES IN THE

SHIPMENT BEFORE YOU BEGIN THE UPGRADE.

To unpack the upgrade components, refer to the following sections:

•Unpacking the Additional Node Components on page 9

•Unpacking the DXi4700 Expansion Module on page 10

Note: Make sure to retain all packing materials, as well as the documentation

and other items included in the shipping box. The packaging materials

must

be used if the system is relocated.

WARNING: The DXi4700 G1 Node and Expansion module (JBOD) weigh 61.0

pounds (27.7 kg) and 62.6 pounds (28.4 kg) respectively. The

DXi4700 G2 Node and Expansion module (JBOD) weigh 49.4

pounds (22.4 kg) and 59.2 pounds (26.8 kg) respectively. A

minimum of two people are required to lift either chassis.

Unpacking the

Additional Node

Components

Depending on the upgrade, additional Node components may ship in separate

boxes (see Capacity Upgrade Overview on page 6):

• Node hard drives (4 TB each) (6)

• Memory modules (4 GB DIMMs) (8 or 16)

• H810 RAID controller card (DXi4700 G1) (1)

• H830 RAID controller card (DXi4700 G2) (1)

Carefully unpack and remove the components from the packing materials (see

Figure 3).

Expansion Module

Depending on the upgrade, 1–3 Expansion modules (JBODs) may ship in

separate boxes (see Capacity Upgrade Overview on page 6). The box containing

each DXi4700 Expansion module contains the following items:

• Rack mount rails

• Cable management straps

• Accessory kit, which includes the following:

• C13 to C14 power cord (2)

• North American power cord (2)

• SAS interconnect cable (1m) (2)
