PowerStoreOS 3.0 includes an upgraded embedded module for PowerStore 1200, 3200, 5200, and 9200 models. The module features a 100 GbE 2-port card used for the addition of NVMe expansion enclosures. In PowerStoreOS 3.2, PowerStore 1000, 3000, 5000, 7000, and 9000 systems can convert their existing embedded module to the upgraded embedded module and support the addition of NVMe expansion enclosures.
As a prerequisite, any PowerStore system being converted cannot have a SAS expansion enclosure configured on the system because the upgraded embedded module does not have SAS back-end ports. The conversion procedure is performed while the system is online and does not require the system to be reinitialized. The online conversion is done one node at time while the PowerStore storage data remains available. The procedure is Command-Line Interface (CLI) driven using the svc_commit_slic service script. Using Dell Deployment Services to perform the upgrade on behalf of the customer is recommended.
