StorCycle Solution Updates Package History
StorCycle 3.3.0
IMPORTANT
You can only upgrade to StorCycle 3.3.0 from StorCycle 3.2.0 or StorCycle 3.1.0. If
you are upgrading from a version of the StorCycle solution other than these,
contact Spectra Logic Technical Support (see Contacting Spectra Logic on page3).
IMPORTANT
When upgrading from StorCycle 3.1.0, the database is upgraded to an indexed
database to increase search speeds. The time required for the upgrade depends on
the size of the database.
• The update takes approximately 1 hour per 10 million file records in the
database. Every file scanned or migrated by the StorCycle solution is
considered one record.
• The StorCycle web interface is inaccessible during this upgrade process. Instead
the web interface is replaced by a message that the database is being updated.
Once the StorCycle web interface is accessible, then the upgrade is complete.
• The upgrade progress can be tracked in the log file ssc.log. The upgrade
process consists of two parts:
• Creation of the index in the database - There are no incremental
updates to the log during this process.
• Editing the records in the database (split file path into component
pieces) - This step provides periodic log updates showing the number of
records updated per second and how many total records have been
updated.
