    1 The HP B6000 StoreOnce Backup System An HP service specialist will install the HP B6000 Backup System. It is supplied partially configured and is made up as follows: One or two HP B6000 Extended Rack Assemblies with stabilizers The rack contains at least one base couplet (consisting of two server nodes two dual controller disk arrays each with 12 disks) and two switches.

  • Page 5: Warnings And Cautions

    Warnings and cautions The customer is not normally expected to unpack and handle the product. However, should this prove necessary, care must be taken to avoid damage to people and equipment. For this reason, safety and handling instructions are included below. Be sure to read them if you need to move or unpack the product.

  • Page 9: Connecting To Your Network

    3 Connecting to your network IMPORTANT: The network configuration is probably the most complex aspect of installation. Please take time to read this chapter before completing the Network checklist later in this document, Network requirements (page 20). Each couplet is a paired combination of two nodes that are directly connected in failover pairs. If one node fails, the system is designed to failover to the other node without any external interaction from the customer.

  • Page 10: Understanding Virtual Interface (Vif) Addresses

    The cabling required to connect to each switch is pre-installed. The cabling to each node is shown in the following diagram. The ports illustrated are reserved for use with the internal network switch. CAUTION: You should NEVER unplug the default factory cabling and you should NEVER connect the customer network to the internal network switches at the top of the racks.

  • Page 11: Vif Addresses

    VIF addresses The VIF addresses are key to ensuring continued performance and availability in the event of failover and are assigned as part of the network configuration process. There are two instances of VIF addresses: the Management Console VIF and Data Path VIFs. The B6000 Management Console uses the Management VIF address to access the Backup System from the customer’s network for all manageability tasks.

  • Page 12: Reserved Ip Address Range

    IMPORTANT: As long as the recommended number of IP addresses is allocated during the network configuration process, the B6000 Backup System will automatically assign IP addresses for all nodes in the system when the network is initially configured or additional couplets are added. If you do not supply the recommended number and subsequently expand your system, you will need to reconfigure the network and also reconfigure the addresses used for backup and replication targets.

  • Page 15: Physical Ethernet Connection Requirements

    NOTE: Templates 1 and 4 are for installations that connect to two sub-nets; physical port connections are required for both the 1GbE management and the 10GbE data networks. Templates 2 and 3 are to a single network and, therefore, do not require separate physical port connections for access to the B6000 Management Console.

  • Page 17: Fibre Channel Connection

    4 Fibre Channel connection The physical FC connection to the HP B6200 Backup System is straightforward; there are two FC ports per node. However, care must be taken to ensure there is no single point of failure in switch or fabric zoning that will negate the failover capabilities of the HP B6200 Backup System and its autonomic restart ability.

    NOTE: The Power/PDU requirement varies depending upon the number of racks, couplets and storage, and the input voltage. PDU option and connector type Please provide details of: PDU option: ........................Connector plug type:......................Connector socket type:......................Power outlets, two outlets are required for the each couplet. But it is strongly recommended that each rack be installed with four outlets to allow for ease of expansion, even if the rack has only one couplet.
