Supported Ethernet configurations

The HP StoreOnce Backup system supports a wide range of network configurations. The following
list provides an overview of configuration details. See
concepts (page 30)
to the latest release notes to find out if there are any configuration combinations that require specific
attention.
An Ethernet connection is required for backing up to iSCSI VTL devices and NAS shares, for
replication and StoreOnce Catalyst Copy activities, and for all StoreOnce management tasks.
It is also required if you wish to backup StoreOnce Catalyst stores across ethernet.
The HP StoreOnce Backup system supports IPv4 and IPv6. IPv4 is available for backup to all
target devices and for appliance management; IPv6 is supported for backup to StoreOnce
Catalyst stores, replication and Catalyst Copy, and for appliance management. It cannot be
used for backup to VTL or NAS shares.
NOTE:
for NAS Shares.
The HP StoreOnce Backup system may be connected to a virtual LAN and supports VLAN
tagging.
DHCP and static IP addressing are supported.
NOTE:
Network Administrator should permanently associate that IP address with the StoreOnce
Backup system. This association prevents the IP address of the device changing after reboots.
