Overview

The HP StoreOnce Backup System must be assigned an IP address before an iSCSI connection or
access to the Web Management Interface can be made.
If your product has been installed by HP Engineers, this configuration will have been carried out.
Go to Chapter 3.
If your product is a customer self-install product, use the remainder of this chapter to perform the
required configuration:
If the network has a DHCP server, the HP StoreOnce Backup System will be configured
automatically with an IP address
If no DHCP server is available, the HP StoreOnce Backup System must be configured manually
using the HP Discovery tool, provided on the HP StoreOnce CD-ROM supplied with your
product

Using DHCP to discover the HP StoreOnce Backup System

The IP address and other network settings are assigned automatically when you connect the HP
StoreOnce Backup System to the network. You only need to know the serial number of the HP
StoreOnce Backup System to complete the installation and create a library configuration. The serial
number can be found on a label on the top of the unit.
In the web browser type in: D2D-<serial number>
If you cannot connect to the HP StoreOnce Backup System using the Web Management interface:
Check that you are using a supported web browser and that Active Scripting or JavaScript is
enabled. See the HP StoreOnce Backup System User Guide for more information about
recommended web browser settings.
Check that the network light is on, on the front of the HP StoreOnce Backup System as this
indicates an IP address has been configured.
Try connecting to the HP StoreOnce Backup System using the DHCP assigned IP address
instead.
