HP StoreOnce 2700 Installation And Configuration Manual page 40

1. Do you wish to configure DNS servers? Up to three may be configured servers (one primary,
and two backup servers if the primary is unavailable) . Make sure you have the address details
before you start. These may be IPv4, IPv6 or a combination of both.
2. Are you connecting a single port or are you connecting multiple ports to your network?
3. Which Ethernet port(s) are you connecting (these are referred to as the port set)? If connecting
multiple ports, which network bonding mode should be used, the default is Active/Passive
bonding?
NOTE:
4. If the ports are not VLAN enabled, you may configure the port set with one IPv4 and one IPv6
subnet.
5. If the ports are VLAN enabled, you may configure up to 128 VLAN subnets across the whole
system. Make sure that all details are available to configure the VLAN subnets and tag IDs.
IMPORTANT:
only a couple initially in the wizard, After initial configuration, you can create a copy of the
configuration and edit the copy to attach the remaining VLAN subnets to Port Sets using
StoreOnce CLI commands, as illustrated in
is because you will not be able to save the configuration as you build it and if you make a
keying error during the wizard, you may have to start again from the beginning.
TIP: Even if you intend to use solely VLANs to connect to your system, HP recommends
configuring one physical subnet to test the initial installation. The easiest way to do this is to
use the default Quick Install connection to LAN port 1 over DHCP. When assigning DHCP
settings, most of the network values can be taken from DHCP. However, you must provide
VLAN tag IDs, if VLAN subnets are required.
6. Which network protocol will each subnet use, IPv4 or IPv6?
7. Does your network use DHCP or static IP addresses?
If DHCP is used, it is recommended that once an IP address has been assigned, the system
Administrator should permanently associate that IP address with the StoreOnce Backup system.
This will avoid any problems with the IP address of the device changing over reboots.
If you select static IP addressing, make sure you know:
IP address of the HP StoreOnce Backup system
Subnet mask (IPv4) or Prefix (IPv6)
Gateway IP address
Default subnet
Domain name, such as mycompany.com
8. The preceding information is sufficient to configure the network and once entered, the wizard
will display and ask you to confirm the specified settings. At this point, do you wish to configure
another subnet? For example, you may wish to dedicate one network to StoreOnce Catalyst
Copy and replication. Or, with HP StoreOnce 4700, 4500 and 2900 Backup systems, you
may wish to use the 10 Gbit ethernet network for backup data.
You will be prompted to provide details of the new subnet, as above.
9. When you have completed details for all subnets, you are asked to select which subnet will
provide the default gateway. The wizard then validates and activates the configuration and
it becomes the current configuration.
NOTE: Some features cannot be configured using the net set wizard. These include Data In Flight
Encryption and editing the default value, 1500 bytes, of the Ethernet Framesize for a Port Set.
40 Network configuration, how to use StoreOnce CLI commands
You cannot bond a 1 Gbit with a 10 Gbit ethernet port.
If you are configuring multiple VLAN subnets, HP recommends configuring
Modifying a network configuration (page 48). This
