Backup system. This is because the network is used to access the StoreOnce Management
Console remotely; it is also used for replication.
Supported Fibre Channel connections
NOTE:
Fibre Channel is not supported on the HP StoreOnce 2620 or the HP StoreOnce 4210
iSCSI Backup system.
When connecting to a Fibre Channel network (for backing up to FC VTL devices), the HP
StoreOnce Backup system is supplied with the correct FC card pre-installed. Cables are not
supplied.
The HP StoreOnce Backup system supports both switched fabric and direct attach private loop
topologies. Direct attach point-point topologies are not supported.
A switched fabric topology utilizes one or more fabric switches to provide a flexible
configuration between several Fibre Channel hosts and Fibre Channel targets such as HP
StoreOnce Backup systems.
Switched fabric configurations are implemented with Fibre Channel switches. Switches may
be cascaded or meshed together to form larger fabrics.
The preferred topology for the HP StoreOnce Backup system is switched fabric using NPIV
(N_Port ID Virtualisation).
NOTE:

Software requirements
For backup and restore to Virtual Tape Library targets you need software that supports tape
libraries and autoloaders. This software resides on the host, not the HP StoreOnce Backup
system. The device may be used with the major backup applications from HP, Symantec,
EMC, Computer Associates and others.
For backup and restore to Catalyst store targets, the HP StoreOnce Catalyst OST 2.0 plugin
must be installed on each Media Server that is required to write data to the StoreOnce Catalyst
stores.
