Ilo 4 Functionality; Supported Fibre Channel Connections - HP StoreOnce 2700 Installation And Configuration Manual

All StoreOnce Backup systems have four 1 Gbit ethernet ports. HP StoreOnce 2900, 4500
and 4700 Backup systems have two additional 10 Gbit ethernet ports.
Mode 1, 4 and 6 network port bonding is supported on sets of 1 Gbit and 10 Gbit ethernet
ports (but not across 1 Gbit and 10 Gbit ethernet ports).
Networking parameters are contained within a network configuration. For ease of installation,
a default configuration is initially applied to the StoreOnce Backup system. As long as LAN
port 1 of the appliance is connected to a DHCP–enabled 1 Gbit ethernet network switch, the
HP StoreOnce Backup system will be active on the network immediately after installation.
You can continue to use the default configuration or create and activate an additional
configuration that is tailored to your exact networking requirements using either the StoreOnce
CLI or the StoreOnce GUI.
NOTE:
Users without a DHCP-enabled 1 Gbit ethernet network must create and activate a network
configuration before the StoreOnce Backup system can become active on the network. This
network configuration may use any available Ethernet port, but one Ethernet port must always
be connected, even if you are using only the FC ports to back up and restore data to the HP
StoreOnce Backup system. The port connection is required because the network is used to
access the StoreOnce Management Console remotely and for replication.
TIP: The recommended way to create an initial network configuration to support static IP
addressing is to run the StoreOnce CLI wizard, net set wizard, as described in
configuration, how to use StoreOnce CLI commands (page

iLO 4 functionality

HP StoreOnce backup appliances are built on HP Proliant server hardware and use the embedded
HP Integrated Lights-Out 4 (iLO 4) management technology. iLO enables secure remote monitoring
and console access via a web browser. All HP StoreOnce Backup systems described in this guide
are supplied with an iLO password that should be changed after installation and stored safely
offsite with other passwords.
iLO is not required for daily management of the StoreOnce appliance but is useful in a lights-out
data center situation. iLO is also useful for diagnosing hardware failures that prevent access to the
appliance through the primary StoreOnce GUI or remote StoreOnce CLI interface.

Supported Fibre Channel connections

NOTE: Fibre Channel is not supported on the HP StoreOnce 2700 or 2900 Backup systems.

When connecting to a Fibre Channel network, the HP StoreOnce Backup system is supplied
with the correct FC card pre-installed. Cables are not supplied.
The number of FC ports available depends upon the HP StoreOnce model.
All models that support FC have two FC ports on the FC card; the HP StoreOnce 4700 has
two FC cards and, therefore, four FC ports are available.
100 Base-T Ethernet will limit performance.
