Before upgrading your existing Filr system, you should create a copy of the appliance data storage location (/vastorage). You use this copy when configuring the new Filr system.
On each Filr, database, and search index appliance in the existing Filr system, use the Datastore Browser to create a copy of the appliance data storage location (/vastorage).
In order to create a copy of the data storage location, your hypervisor might require that the appliance is first shut down.
