Before Starting

ArcGIS Server 10 SP5 or higher is required for Data Appliance 5.1. If you are planning to 
upgrade to ArcGIS 10.1 for Server, Esri recommends you do so prior to installing your new 
collection. If you are using ArcGIS Server 10, please refer to the Quick Start Guide Data 
Appliance for ArcGIS 10 Data Collection Update for Windows. Services for Data Appliance 
for ArcGIS data collections installed on your Data Appliance for ArcGIS server will be 
unavailable during the installation process. This update should take approximately two 
hours to complete.

Note:

 If you are using locators and routing services from Data Appliance 5.0 for ArcGIS, 

since locators and routing services are no longer included as part of the Data Appliance with 
the 5.1 release, you need to migrate to StreetMap

 Premium for ArcGIS for your regions of 

interest prior to upgrading to Data Appliance 5.1 for ArcGIS. Additionally, if you were using 
the World Places Locator from Data Appliance 5.0, you need to upgrade to the World Places 
Locator that shipped with Data Appliance 5.1 on a separate DVD before upgrading to Data 
Appliance 5.1 for ArcGIS. 

Important:

 It is imperative that care and precautions be taken when handling the data 

collection hard drives. The hard drives are sensitive to shock as well as electrostatic 
discharge. Make sure precautions are taken to eliminate any built-up static. The use of a 
grounding strap is highly recommended while handling the hard drives.

Your shipment contains one of the following Data Appliance for ArcGIS 
collections: World Premier Collection, World Small-Scale Collection, North 
America Collection, or Europe Collection; a collection consists of two or more 
drives that make up a single RAID volume. Each drive is labeled with the 
collection name and version.

To update the Data Appliance for ArcGIS collections, ArcGIS Services that 
utilize the Data Appliance 5.0 services must be deleted from ArcGIS Server 
before you disconnect the Data Appliance 5.0.

A.  Log in to ArcGIS Server using the Data Appliance for ArcGIS data account 

with administrative privileges.

B.  Start ArcGIS Server Manager and log in using your account.
C. Click 

Services 

Manage Services

.

D.  Check each service to select the services to stop.
E.  Locate the service in the Services module and click 

Delete

. The service is 

deleted from your server.

Although Data Appliance for ArcGIS has hot-swappable hard drive bays, hot 
swapping an entire data collection is not supported. 

A.  Log in to Data Appliance for ArcGIS using the 

Administrator

 account. 

B.  Click the 

Start

 menu, expand the 

Shutdown

 menu, and select 

Shut down

.

C.  Allow Data Appliance for ArcGIS to completely shut down.

A.  With Data Appliance for ArcGIS powered off, remove the existing data col-

lection hard drives from the Data Appliance for ArcGIS system.

B.  Place the removed hard drives in a secure and static-free location.
C.  Continue removing all hard drives for the collection to be updated. Do 

not leave any hard drive from the old data collection in Data Appliance 
for ArcGIS.

Depending on the confi guration being serviced, use the above illustrations as guides, with 
1U on the left and 4U on the right.

With Data Appliance for ArcGIS still powered off, install the new data 
collection hard drives into Data Appliance for ArcGIS. Note that the 
new hard drives are labeled as to what collection they belong to as 
well as the number of drives in the set, for example, World Premier 
Collection Drive 00 1 of 22.

Although it does not matter which slot a drive is installed in, it is recom-
mended that drives be installed in order, starting from the top left, fi lling in 
the drive bays across a row, then proceeding to the row below.

D.  Note the label of the hard drive that is to be installed into Data Appliance 

for ArcGIS to fi nd its position. Make sure all drives from each set are pres-
ent. If you fi nd that a drive is missing,

 immediately stop the installation 

procedure and contact Cutting Edge Networked Storage technical 
support

.

E.  Insert the replacement drive tray into the chassis. Make sure to press the 

drive carrier handle closed until it clicks in place.

F.  Make sure all drives from all the data collections are installed in Data 

Appliance for ArcGIS.

front of the computer equipment rack. 

Note: 

While booting up, the Windows 2008 Storage Server operating system

During this time, the hard drive activity LEDs on Data Appliance for ArcGIS will 
blink. Please do not interrupt the system by powering it off or rebooting it.

F.  Enter the password “3ware” and click 

Login

.

G.  The 3DM2 summary screen is displayed. Note the Status column.

H.  If the status for all collections is 

OK

 and green, the arrays are healthy and 

ready to use. If something other than 

OK

 is displayed, click 

Information

 and 

click 

Unit Information

. This displays the status of each RAID array (unit). 

1.  If the status is
