Note

A serial number of ETERNUS Disk storage system may change after applying Model upgrade options. If you apply Model upgrade options without deleting ETERNUS Disk storage system, ETERNUS SF may not recognize the new ETERNUS Disk storage system.
In this case, delete the new ETERNUS Disk storage system and re-register it.
If you apply Model upgrade options for ETERNUS Disk storage system without deleting the license, the screen displays the license list for the old device. To display the license list for the new device, delete all of the registered licenses and update the screen.
Register the license after displaying the license list for the new device.
The output result of the Reporting function is counted per storage device. Accordingly, if a serial number is changed due to Model upgrade, it is counted as the one belonging to a different storage device. If you want to count it as the one belonging to the same storage device, modify the accounting application.
