HP StoreOnce Conversion from 2.x.x software to 3.4.x (or later) Software Guide (BB852-90949, November 2013)
1 Introduction
HP is offering existing StoreOnce D2D Single Node customers the ability to convert their appliances
from 2.x.x software to the next generation of StoreOnce software for free. HP StoreOnce 3.4.x
(or later) software offers several significant features, the most important being the introduction of
HP StoreOnce Catalyst devices that allow low and high bandwidth backups and backup application
controlled off-site copy between StoreOnce appliances for those customers using HP DataProtector
or Symantec OST.
WARNING! HP StoreOnce 3.4.x (or later) software is significantly different to 2.x.x and, as
such, the conversion process is data and configuration destructive, it is recommended that ONLY
customers who need to take advantage of the new features convert their products.
Product Naming
New appliances pre-installed with 3.4.x (or later) software have adopted a new set of names; this
means that the name shown on your product GUI and CLI will not match the name printed on your
existing learning products and hardware labels. When seeking support downloads for your product
after the conversion you will need to use this new name to find the information that you require.
The following products are supported by this conversion process.
