10 Configuring backup servers to work with HP StoreOnce

This chapter describes how to configure Tape drivers and iSCSI on Windows backup servers. If
working in a Linux or UNIX environment, refer to the separate HP StoreOnce Backup systems Linux
and UNIX Configuration guide.

Configuring media servers to use StoreOnce Catalyst

With HP Data Protector the StoreOnce deduplication engine is embedded in the HP Data Protector
Media Agent. No additional plug-ins are required.
In Symantec products HP has developed an OpenStorage (OST) Plug-in to NetBackup and Backup
Exec that creates the interface between Symantec products and the StoreOnce Catalyst store. This
software is available free and must be installed on all media servers that will be used to back up
to the StoreOnce Backup system.
The software, including documentation, can be downloaded from:
portal/swdepot/index.do.
Search for StoreOnce.
The search result includes the StoreOnce System Software for all products, VSA evaluation files,
and QR images for all hardware platforms, plus a link to StoreOnce Free Software. Click on
StoreOnce Free Software to access SEM, the OST plug-ins and the RMAN plug-in. Follow the
instructions included in the download to install the plug-ins.

Configuring Data in Flight encryption on Windows media servers

NOTE: Data in flight encryption is supported for backup to StoreOnce Catalyst target devices
and for Catalyst copy between StoreOnce Backup systems. It is not supported for backup to NAS
or VTL target devices, but is supported for replication between StoreOnce Backup systems.
The following procedure describes how to configure Windows Server 2008 R2 and 2012 for use
with StoreOnce Data in Flight encryption.
For instructions on configuring encryption on the StoreOnce Backup system, see
to StoreOnce Backup system (page
the HP StoreOnce Linux and UNIX Configuration guide.
NOTE: The settings for key lifetimes can have an impact on the performance of the data in flight
encryption links. If the lifetime values are set to low values, then there is a risk of low performances
or even failures of the backup jobs. It is recommended, that these values are set sufficiently high
to allow the backup jobs to run as well as maintain the security of the data being transferred. The
default Windows setting of 480 minutes is sensible.
