  • Page 19: Terminology

    Terminology Autoloaders An autoloader is a backup device that has a single tape drive and multiple storage slots. (A library has multiple tape drives, see “Libraries” on page 21.) Each storage slot contains a cartridge that can be allocated to a specific backup task; for example, one cartridge can hold Monday’s data, another can hold Tuesday’s data, and so on.
  • Page 20: Device Configuration With One Host

    • The backup device is not visible to other devices on the network. • Multiple servers may not back up to a single backup device. Figure 3 on page 20 shows a configuration with a single host. The Installation wizard has been run on Host 1.

    Host1 Host2 Host3 Host4 onwards Library 1 Library 2 Library 3 HP StorageWorks D2D Backup System Figure 4 Device configuration with multiple hosts iSCSI On an Ethernet network the HP D2D Backup System is configured as an iSCSI device. This means that the HP D2D Backup System plugs directly into the network, but it presents devices as directly-attached SCSI autoloaders to host machines.
  • Page 22: Raid

    RAID RAID stands for Redundant Array of Inexpensive (or Independent) Devices, which is a data storage scheme that divides data among multiple hard drives, increasing data reliability and throughput. The HP D2D Backup System is a RAID 5 device, which offers the best combination of data protection and capacity.
  • Page 23: Data Deduplication

    Data deduplication Data deduplication compares blocks of data being written to the backup device with data blocks previously stored on the device. If duplicate data is found, a pointer is established to the original data, rather than storing the duplicate data sets. This removes, or “deduplicates,” the redundant blocks. The key part of this is that the data deduplication is being done at the block level and not at the file level which reduces the volume of data stored significantly.
  • Page 24: Deduplication And Compression

    • Reduces disk expenditures by reducing storage space required. You can get more backups for each host on the same size of storage (HP D2D device) • Prolongs disk data retention periods • Reduces the volume of data that must be sent across a WAN for remote backups, replication, and disaster recovery –...

  • Page 49: Iscsi Initiator

    iSCSI Initiator iSCSI is a protocol for sending SCSI commands via Ethernet. It defines how SCSI packets are translated to Ethernet packets and connects to the required devices. An iSCSI initiator may be hardware or software and should be running on each host. If the host does not have an iSCSI initiator, it will not be able to connect to the library (or tape drive) configured on the HP D2D Backup System and will not be able to perform backups.
  • Page 50: The Iscsi Initiator And Authentication

    The iSCSI Initiator and Authentication Authentication is not required for the HP D2D, but it is supported for those companies that have an IT policy that requires them to use authentication. If this is the case, you will need to configure the necessary fields on the iSCSI Initiator and also ensure that the corresponding information is supplied in the Web Management Interface.
  • Page 51: General Tab (Iscsi)

  • Page 122: Archiving Methods

    Archiving methods Two methods are provided for archiving data to the directly attached tape storage device, these are Copy and Export. • Copy retains the data cartridge on the HP D2D Backup system and creates an exact copy onto a physical cartridge in the attached tape storage device.
  • Page 123: When Would Copy Be Used

    When would Copy be used? Cartridge copies are likely to be appropriate when the user wishes to use the HP D2D Backup System for all foreseeable restore processes but requires an additional offsite copy for insurance or data security purposes. This may mean that weekly, monthly and yearly cartridges are copied. Weekly and monthly physical cartridges may be rotated;...
  • Page 124: Why Use The Export Functionality

    CAUTION: Do not export cartridges that the backup application uses on a frequent basis as part of a rotation strategy because it will not be able to write to the empty slot. Step 1 Step 2 Use backup application on host Use HP D2D Web Management to move cartridge to mail slot.
  • Page 125: When Would I Restore From An Exported Cartridge

    When would I restore from an exported cartridge? Restoring from an "exported" cartridge has a higher likelihood than from a copied cartridge, because the data no longer resides on the HP D2D Backup System. If a restore from an "exported" cartridge is required, the backup application will ask for the cartridge to be re-imported into the HP D2D before it can be used for restore.

  • Page 133: To Export To Attached Tape Storage Device

    To export to attached tape storage device Data can only be exported from the mail slot. Once data has been exported it is removed from the HP D2D Backup System. However, if an error occurs during the process, the data is not deleted. It remains on the cartridge located in the mail slot.
  • Page 134: To Import From Attached Tape Storage Device

    The process warns you that the cartridge data on the HP D2D Backup System will be removed once it has been exported. You must click OK to continue. It also checks that media is loaded in the attached tape storage device and that it is blank. If it is not blank, you are given the option of overwriting it or canceling the job.
  • Page 135: To Create A Scheduled Job

    Five types of schedule are allowed: daily, weekly, day of month, weekday of month and after write. The After Write option runs the job immediately after the cartridge has been written. Up to 50 schedules may be created. When an export or copy scheduled job is run, it automatically overwrites the cartridge in the tape drive. If the cartridge is not blank, there is no warning and no record in the job log.
