A new software version is available for your Silent Bricks System.
S3 volumes without object locking are no longer supported since version 2.57 and must be migrated. New S3 volumes include support for object locking, as well as improvements in performance and storage space requirements.
If your system is still running version 2.55 or lower, be sure to read the notes on S3.
Update.
Follow these steps to update your system:
- Make sure that your system is at least on version 2.31. If in doubt, contact technical support (see end of document).
- Download the new version and save the .tar file (do not unpack the file!).
- Stop all access to the system:
a. "Eject" tapes in virtual tape libraries via the managing software.
b. unmount SNAS volumes in the web interface and take Silent Bricks offline - Now install the update (fast-sb-update) via the service area from the user interface and let the process complete. The system will reboot after completion.
