IMPORTANT: The E5-2680v2 processor is only supported on StoreOnce software version 3.12.0 and later. Update all firmware to the latest provided in the 3.12.0+ software release before backing up to a server node configured with the E5-2680v2 CPU. Use the StoreOnce GUI to identify the processor model. Go to Hardware — Server — CPU. Look at the information in the Model column.

2 General StoreOnce maintenance activities Preparing for StoreOnce maintenance activities Make sure that you have the correct Maintenance and Service guide for your product. There are a number of different models, and each product model has its own guide. It is best practice to save the system configuration before carrying out maintenance activities and make sure it is copied to a local PC.
Upgrading BIOS or hardware firmware components Do not upgrade BIOS or hardware firmware components individually using downloads from the HPE Support website because currently supported firmware component updates are already embedded within the StoreOnce software. Always use the StoreOnce CLI or the StoreOnce GUI to implement BIOS and hardware firmware component checks and updates.
IMPORTANT: Do not shut down or reboot your system or any system component until the final step. Special instructions may apply. Use the hardware update firmware command, as required. For example, there may be instances where replacement hardware may need a firmware downgrade to bring it in line with the supported firmware version of the installed StoreOnce software on the system being maintained.
Tasks that are unique to HPE StoreOnce Backup The following tasks are described in this guide: Replacing the motherboard Replacing the HP RAID controller Replacing the Cache module and SuperCapacitor Replacing removable hard disks Understanding StoreOnce LEDs Running the QR ISO Rack stability To protect personnel and equipment, take the following steps to ensure that racks are stable.
3 Identifying problems Example alert for a failed disk It is possible to configure recipients for SNMP traps or email alerts, as described in the HPE StoreOnce Backup User Guide for your product. These users will be notified of any problems with hardware components.
Viewing the failed disk in the Hardware tree The following example shows the Hardware tree expanded to show the disks in a server unit. The status of these is OK. The following example shows the Hardware tree expanded to show the disk failure in the expansion shelf.

When you reinstall cards after replacing the motherboard, be sure to install each card in its original slot, as shown in the rear view drawing. More information HPE StoreOnce 4700 Backup system (page 41) HPE StoreOnce 4500 Backup system (page 44) HPE StoreOnce 2900 Backup system (page 46)
Change the RBSU settings, as described in RBSU settings (page 22). Save the changes and exit. Let the operating system complete its boot. Check that an existing iLO4 Advanced license is loaded. If it is not, add it: Log on to the iLO4 GUI. Select the Administration Tab.

This connects the RAID controller in the server unit to the SAS disks in the expansion shelf. It is used with HPE StoreOnce 4700 Backup to connect the server to the first pre-configured storage array. It is also used with both HPE StoreOnce 4700 and 4500 Backup when an expansion shelf is added and connected to the RAID controller in the server unit.

For other forms of non-catastrophic RAID controller failure, or failure of the second RAID controller on the StoreOnce 4700 Backup, look at the Event Log and Hardware Page on the StoreOnce GUI. If RAID fails and the HPE StoreOnce Backup System is still functioning, you can also get information, including license keys, by generating a Support ticket.

Figure 6 Removing a p1224 card, example shows an HPE StoreOnce 4700 Backup Install the new p1224 card (1) and check that it is seated properly. Close the blue PCIe card retaining latch (2). Figure 7 Inserting a p1224 card, example shows an HPE StoreOnce 4700 Backup Make sure the card is connected to the SuperCapacitor module and to the internal and external SAS data storage.
If they are flashing amber and green, the module is disconnected. If the module is disconnected, reseat it on the HP p1224 RAID card. If it is damaged, remove it, dispose of the old module and replace it with the new one. Check that the cable is connected correctly to the SuperCapacitor..

Figure 8 SuperCapacitor module connector on RAID card SuperCapacitor connector LEDs Replace the cover and power up the HPE StoreOnce Backup system. Check the status of the system on the Hardware page of the StoreOnce GUI. If this does not resolve the problem, the associated RAID card may need replacing.
7 Replacing Fibre Channel cards VTL over Fibre Channel If using only VTL over Fibre Channel, no further configuration is required when replacing the Fibre Channel card. StoreOnce Catalyt over Fibre Channel If using StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel there are replacement considerations. The World Wide Port Name (WWPN) and World Wide Node Name (WWNN) of the StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel device presented on a StoreOnce Fibre Channel port currently uses the WWPN / WWNN of the FC card.
24TB capacity expansion enclosures (HPE StoreOnce 4500/4700 24TB Capacity Kit [BB881A]). Expansion enclosures are daisy chained to the two RAID cards. HP recommends making a record of which enclosure (serial number) is connected to which RAID card for future reference.

Power connectors Connecting subsequent storage enclosures The HPE StoreOnce 4700 Backup has two RAID controller cards and supports up to eight storage shelves. A second shelf is connected to the RAID controller in slot 4, using a 2-meter cable. Subsequent shelves are daisy-chained using the half-meter cables; for example, shelf 3 to shelf 1 and shelf 4 to shelf 2.

NOTE: Remember you can use the Beacon LED to identify the physical disk in the storage controller or expansion shelves. Remove the front bezel from the HPE StoreOnce Backup system. Turn the key (1) to unlock the security bezel and pull it out (2) and away (3) from the front of the appliance, using the handle (4).

NOTE: The illustration above shows disk removal in a StoreOnce appliance’s server unit. The disk carrier is different when working with disks in an expansion shelf, as shown below. Replace the failed disk with the new disk. Push the hard drive assembly (1) into the drive bay until it stops and press the HDD carrier latch (2) inward until it clicks.
Replace the front bezel. Log in to the GUI and look at the Hardware — Storage — Storage Cluster — Drive Enclosures — Drives or Hardware — Server — Server Storage — Drive Enclosures — Drives page. Check the status of the drives. NOTE: It may take several minutes for the status to report that the disk replacement has completed successfully and that the new disk is being rebuilt as part of the RAID group.
10 LEDs on StoreOnce Backup systems LEDs and StoreOnce GUI If an LED indicates an error condition, HPE recommends reviewing the StoreOnce Event log for more information. For hardware-related errors the Hardware page of the StoreOnce GUI provides valuable information. NOTE: All diagrams in this chapter show the unit with the cover plate removed.
HPE StoreOnce 4700 Backup server The HPE StoreOnce 4700 Backup system consists of a server unit (with two disks) and one disk enclosure on which storage has already been expanded. It supports connection of up to seven additional storage enclosures (Capacity Upgrade Kits); storage must be expanded when Capacity Upgrade Kits are added to the base configuration.

This process requires the latest configuration files that should have been saved and copied locally to the local system. You will require the following files: <config_filename>.zip <config_filename>.txt <keystore_filename>.kms (if you have installed the Security Pack license and configured Data at Rest Encryption on any VTL libraries, NAS shares, or Catalyst stores) Check the Cluster ID against the value shown in the configuration text file, <config_filename>.txt, using the StoreOnce CLI command: system show config...
