System Documentation
The Endurance 4000 Installation Guide contains system
documentation tables designed to assist in the accumulation of data
necessary for installation and maintenance of the array. This
information is a good starting place when seeking to become familiar
with the array.
Once the array is properly documented the upgrade process can
begin. The key to success while upgrading in a high-availability
environment is to understand and anticipate the result of "every"
action taken on the array.
Before performing any upgrade ensure all system documentation,
user guides, installation guides, and software is available.
Remember, preparation is the key to success.
The following section documents the following system upgrade
tasks:
• Adding additional storage capacity
