Obtaining Backups, Diagnostics, Firmware Levels, And License Keys - Hitachi NAS Platform 4000 Series Hardware Reference Manual

Obtaining backups, diagnostics, firmware levels, and license keys

On the old server:
Procedure
1. If the server is online, using NAS Manager, navigate to Home > Server Settings >
Configuration Backup & Restore, click backup, and then select a location to save
the backup file.
Ensure you save the backup file to a safe location off platform so that you can
access it after the storage system is offline.
The backup process performed by the embedded SMU will automatically capture
both the SMU and server configuration files in one complete set.
2. Navigate to Home > Status & Monitoring > Diagnostics download to download
the diagnostic test results.
3. Navigate to Home > SMU Administration > Upgrade SMU to verify SMU type and
firmware release level.
Both the server and SMU firmware versions must match those on the failed server;
otherwise, the server cannot properly restore from the backup file. See the release
notes and the Hitachi NAS Platform and Hitachi Unified Storage File Module System
Installation Guide for release-specific requirements.
4. Navigate to Home > Server Settings > Firmware Package Management to verify
the existing server (SU) firmware release level.
