Important – Read This Before Continuing
If the GuardianOS on the new chassis is different from the version on the disk drives, the appliance goes through a special initialization and synchronization process that can take up to
10 minutes to complete. During this time, the Status LED flashes an alternating green and amber pattern.
CAUTION:
Under no circumstances should power be removed while the system is in this state! Doing so may render the appliance inoperable.
Once initialization is complete, the system automatically reboots and the Status LED displays a solid green color.
If the GuardianOS versions are the same on both the chassis and drives, the appliance boots normally.
Validate the System
Log onto the SnapServer Web Management Interface and verify your the connections and settings. Check flashing front
LEDs indicating errors. Refer to the user guide to resolve.
NOTE: If the server was configured as an EDR master console, new licenses must be installed, as they are based on the server number.
