1 Capacity Upgrade

Introduction

The Capacity Upgrade Kit increases the storage capacity of your HP D2D Backup System. Three

Capacity Upgrade Kits are available. Be sure to order the correct kit for your system:

•HP D2D4324 Backup System Capacity Upgrade Kit: This consists of an enclosure with 12 x 2

TB disks and two cables, and is for use with the HP D2D4324 Backup System. The second

cable is a longer cable that is suitable for connecting to an HP D2D4324 that already has

upgrade kits installed.

•HP D2D4112/D2D4312 Backup System Capacity Upgrade Kit: This consists of an enclosure

with 12 x 1 TB disks and two cables, and is for use with both the HP D2D4112 and the HP

D2D4312 Backup System. The second cable is a longer cable that is suitable for connecting

to an HP D2D4312 that already has upgrade kits installed.

•HP D2D4106 Backup System Capacity Upgrade Kit: This kit consists of an enclosure with 12

x 500 GB disks and one cable, and is for use with the HP D2D4106 Backup System only.

NOTE: A maximum of three Capacity Upgrade Kits may be installed with the HP D2D4300

Series (HP D2D4312 and HP D2D4324 Backup System); only one Capacity Upgrade Kit may be

installed with the HP D2D4100 Series (HP D2D4106 and HP D2D4112 Backup System).

The Capacity Upgrade Kit is installed on rails as a separate shelf immediately above or below the

HP D2D Backup System. Shelf is used as a term within the D2D Web Management Interface to

identify the 12–disk physical storage space provided by the HP D2D Backup System (Shelf 0 or

Internal) and the Capacity Upgrade Kit (Shelf 1 with the HP D2D4100 Series or Shelves 1/2/3

with the HP D2D4300 Series). This is also displayed pictorially on the Summary page of the Web

Management Interface.

The following example shows the Summary screen for an HP D2D4112 Backup System that has

a single shelf with 12 disks.

4 Capacity Upgrade

The following example shows the Summary screen after the Capacity Upgrade Kit has been installed

and the HP D2D Backup System has two shelves with 24 disks.

Planning for the Capacity Upgrade

IMPORTANT: The HP D2D Backup System will be offline while the Capacity Upgrade Kit is

installed and the expansion process is completed to expand to the increased shelf capacity. This

means that the HP D2D Backup System cannot be used for backup or replication during the

expansion process.

It is important to allow sufficient downtime for the expansion process to complete. Depending upon

the amount of data on the original system, this can take from 5 minutes to more than 12 hours to

complete with the HP D2D4100 Series. With the HP D2D4300 Series, it could be considerably

longer (up to 36 hours) depending upon the shelf configuration and the amount of data.

Make sure that host users are aware that the system will not be available for backup and restore

and check to see how any scheduled jobs, such as replication and tape backup, may be affected.

An overview of the capacity upgrade process

1. Install the rails for the Capacity Upgrade Kit, which should be located directly below or above

the HP D2D Backup System (Shelf 0 or Internal), see Chapter 2.

2. Install the Capacity Upgrade Kit (HP D2D4100 Series: Shelf 1 or HP D2D4300 Seies: Shelf

1/2/3), see Chapter 2.

3. Connect the Capacity Upgrade Kit (HP D2D4100 Series: Shelf 1 or HP D2D4300 Series:

Shelf 1/2/3) to the HP D2D Backup System (Shelf 0 or Internal), see Chapter 2.

4. Power on the Capacity Upgrade Kit, see Chapter 2.

5. Make sure you know both the HP entitlement order number (supplied with the Capacity Upgrade

Kit) and the HP D2D serial number (found on the label on the top of the unit). Obtain a License

To Use (LTU) from the HP Licensing website, see Chapter 3. If you are installing several upgrade

kits with an HP D2D4300 Series Backup System, be sure to obtain all LTUs before step 6.

6. Using the HP D2D Web Management Interface, as described in Chapter 3:

Planning for the Capacity Upgrade 5

Add the license(s)•

•Expand the capacity of the HP D2D Backup System

IMPORTANT: When connecting multiple upgrade kits to an HP D2D4300 Series Backup System,

add all licenses before expanding the capacity of the HP D2D. This ensures that the expansion

process occurs once only and reduces the amount of time that the system is unavailable for backup

and restore.

2 Installing and connecting the Capacity Upgrade Kit

Installing the rails and the Capacity Upgrade Kit

The Capacity Upgrade Kit should be installed directly below or above the HP D2D Backup System.

The HP 2U Rack Rail Kit installation instructions (shipped with the rail kit) details the process of

racking a disk enclosure.

Sections include:

•Installation guidelines with warnings and safety information

•Installation procedures

IMPORTANT: Be sure to read the installation guidelines on the poster carefully before installing

the rails and the Capacity Upgrade Kit. They provide important safety information.

WARNING! Ensure that sufficient personnel are on hand to support the product(s) during the

installation process. Use of the appropriate lifting device is recommended as an installation aid.

1. Position left and right rack rails at the desired 'U' position in the rack, adjusting the rails to fit

the rack, as needed (1).

2. Secure rack rails to the front and back rack columns using screws. Make sure that the shoulders

of the screws fit inside the square or round holes of the rack (2).

NOTE: If installing rails in a square hole rack, use larger-sized shoulder screws and pins for

mounting. If installing rails in a round hole rack, use smaller-sized shoulder screws and pins

for mounting.

3. Slide the device into position on the rails (1) and then tighten the thumbscrews (2) on the front

of the device to secure the device to the rack. It should be immediately above or immediately

below the HP D2D Backup System.

Installing the rails and the Capacity Upgrade Kit 7

NOTE: The rear ends of the rails have a bracket that must engage the device chassis to

secure the rear of the chassis to the rails.

4. When cabling the device, use holes provided in the rear rack rails, install tie wraps, and route

external cable as required.

Connecting the Capacity Upgrade Kit to the HP D2D Backup System

HP D2D4100 Series

1. To ensure correct keying, first connect the supplied cable to the P1 connector on the top I/O

module (I/O-A) on the rear of the Capacity Upgrade Kit.

NOTE: Always use the P1 connector; do not use the P2 connector.

2. Connect the other end of the cable to the port labeled "Port 1E" on the RAID PCI-e card on

the rear of the HP D2D Backup System.

3. Use the supplied power cords to connect the Capacity Upgrade Kit to the mains power supply.

8 Installing and connecting the Capacity Upgrade Kit

HP D2D4300 Series

WARNING! Daisy-chaining Capacity Upgrade Kits is not supported. Each Capacity Upgrade

Kit must be directly connected to one of the RAID cards on the HP D2D4300 Backup System. Each

kit is supplied with two cables; the longer cable is suitable for connecting lower shelves as shown

in the figure below.

1. To ensure correct keying, first connect the supplied cable to the P1 connector on the top I/O

module (I/O-A) on the rear of the Capacity Upgrade Kit.

NOTE: Always use the P1 connector; do not use the P2 connector.

2. Connect the other end of each cable to the connector on the RAID card.

HP D2D4324 Backup System

This product has three RAID cards and there are four connectors on each card. Always use

the top connector (port 1E) and never connect more than one shelf to the RAID card. Only

three expansion shelves may be connected.
