PowerStore 1200, 3200, 5200, and 9200 model systems purchased without NVMe expansion enclosures do not come with the embedded 100 GbE 2-port card used for back-end connectivity. In PowerStoreOS 3.2, 2-port cards can be installed onto these systems without needing to reinitialize. The upgrade procedure is performed while the system is online, does not require the system to be reinitialized. The procedure follows steps similar to those in the embedded module conversion, by using the svc_commit_slic service script. Having Dell Deployment Services perform the upgrade on behalf of the customer is recommended. When the 2-port card is installed, NVMe expansion enclosures can be added to the PowerStore system.
