HP StoreOnce Backup System Conversion from G2 (D2D) to G3 (StoreOnce) Software Release Notes (BB852-90947, July 2103)

Description
HP is offering existing StoreOnce D2D Single Node customers the ability to convert their appliance's
existing software from 2.x.x to 3.4.x (or later) 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 Data Protector
or Symantec OST.
CAUTION: HP StoreOnce 3.4.x (or later) software is significantly different to 2.x.x software and, as
such, the conversion process is data destructive. It is recommended that ONLY customers who need
to take advantage of the new features convert their products. The conversion process is described in
detail in BB852-90926, Conversion from 2.x.x software to 3.4.x (or later) software guide.
Update recommendation
ONLY customers who need to take advantage of the new features offered by v3.4.x or later software
should convert their products.
Supersedes
None.
Product models
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.
