Network-Attached Storage (NAS), Catalyst Stores or Virtual Tape Library (VTL) targets for backup applications. This guide describes how to install and carry out the initial configuration of your HP StoreOnce Backup system. The following documents are also available at http://www.hp.com/go/storage/ docs http://www.hp.com/support/...
IPv6 is not supported on the iSCSI data path for VTL nor the NFS/CIFS data path for NAS Shares. The HP StoreOnce Backup system may be connected to a virtual LAN and supports VLAN tagging. DHCP and static IP addressing are supported.
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.
The HP StoreOnce Backup system supports both switched fabric and direct attach private loop topologies. 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.
Use extreme caution when pulling the enclosure out from the rack; it can slip and fall, causing damage to the enclosure or injury. HP is not responsible for any damage or injury caused by the mishandling of the enclosure .
Install the rails in the rack, as required. Follow the instructions provided separately with the rail kits. Slide the HP StoreOnce Backup system into position in the rack and secure it to the rack rails using thumbscrews on the unit's front bezel.
There are two 10 Gbit ethernet ports and two 10Gb SR SFP+s. Connect an SFP to each 10 Gbit ethernet port, as shown below (1). Figure 3 Connecting 10 Gbit ethernet SFPs on HP StoreOnce 4700 Attaching SFPs, StoreOnce 2900, 4500 and 4700 only...
HP StoreOnce 2900 and 4500 Backup There are two FC ports and two 8Gb Short Wave FC SFP+s. Connect an SFP to each FC port on the HP StoreOnce 4500 Backup, as shown below (1). (The StoreOnce 2900 Backup does not have FC ports.) Figure 4 Connecting FC SFPs on HP StoreOnce 4500 There are two 10 Gbit ethernet ports and two 10Gb SR SFP+s.
This HP-approved cord is appropriate for your specific geographic region. HP StoreOnce 2900, 4500 and 4700 Backup systems have a redundant power supply (this also applies to the HP StoreOnce 2700, if a second power supply has been purchased and installed). Make sure that both power cords are connected.
Connect the square HD connector on the longer HD SAS cable to the single high-density SAS port on the RAID controller in slot 1 on the rear of the HP StoreOnce Backup system. Ensure that the cable connector is plugged in the correct way on the rear of the HP StoreOnce Backup system.

Powering on the HP StoreOnce Backup system Press the Power on button (1) on the front of your HP StoreOnce Backup system. The normal boot sequence takes approximately 5 minutes. On power up the HP StoreOnce Backup system runs its fans at high speed for approximately 10 seconds before returning to normal speed.
SNMP configuration and date and time configuration, can only be performed through the StoreOnce CLI. See the HP StoreOnce Backup system CLI Reference Guide for more information about the StoreOnce CLI commands and their syntax.
It is good practice to determine what other users will be required and what access to the system they should have as part of the planning process. In particular, will the HP StoreOnce Backup system be added to an Active Directory Domain? The following AD domain details will be required to configure AD.
This command does not save the password details, so passwords for additional users should also be saved offline and kept in sync with the details held on the HP StoreOnce Backup system. User account and password requirements Local accounts can be between 1 &...
4 Configuration using the system set config wizard The StoreOnce CLI command set provides two configuration wizards: The system set config command sequence packages a number of commands, some of which you may skip, if required. This wizard is recommend if you wish to configure time and license settings at the same time as network settings and run a health check.
Finish Configuration (and reboot) Choose either Finish Configuration and reboot or Finish Configuration. If you have reset the time of the HP StoreOnce Backup system so that it has moved backwards, the configuration must be completed with a reboot. This performs a couple of tasks: Save the configuration details Two configurations, devconfig<timestamp>.txt containing network and other device...
Physical ports and IP addresses (page 36) Network configuration basics HP StoreOnce Backup systems support both IPv4 and IPv6 address protocols. IPv4 is available for all target devices and for appliance management; IPv6 is supported for all backup to StoreOnce Catalyst stores, replication and Catalyst Copy, and for appliance management.
Page 31
StoreOnce software version 3.1 1.0 and later provides support for Data In Flight Encryption using the IPSec protocol. This can only be configured using the StoreOnce CLI. Refer to the HP StoreOnce CLI Reference Guide. The following diagram provides a simplified overview of the hierarchy within a network configuration for a StoreOnce Backup system.
Figure 21 Network configuration hierarchy Port numbering for hardware products The StoreOnce CLI and the StoreOnce GUI label port numbers differently. The following table equates the port numbering as it is referred to in the StoreOnce CLI with the port naming on the StoreOnce GUI.
VLAN Subnets with HP StoreOnce Backup There is a fixed number of available physical NIC ports on the HP StoreOnce Backup system, defined by the number of 1 Gbit ports plus 10 Gbit ethernet ports, therefore there is a limit on the number of physical Subnets to which the HP StoreOnce Backup system can be directly connected.
Port Set uses the 10 Gbit ethernet ports, Port 1 and Port 2. eth1, (the 1 Gbit ethernet port, Port 2), is available to support a further Port Set. (Some HP StoreOnce Backups systems provide four 10 Gbit ethernet ports, and eth6 and eth7, (the 10 Gbit ethernet ports, Port 3 and Port 4) may also be configured to support further Port Sets.
See the appropriate HP StoreOnce Installation and Configuration guide for your product for examples of using the StoreOnce CLI to configure the network.See the HP StoreOnce CLI Reference guide for examples of using the StoreOnce CLI to refine the network configuration.
StoreOnce CLI to create a system configuration save and restore file, using the StoreOnce CLI command, config save devices. Refer to the HP StoreOnce CLI Reference Guide for the full range of network and config save and restore commands.
Page 37
For more detailed information about cabling options and the different bonding modes with illustrations see the HP StoreOnce Backup system Concepts and Configuration Guidelines. The following table shows network connections and IP address requirements for different port combinations (port sets).
All systems have four 1 Gbit ethernet ports that are identified as eth0 (LAN port 1) and eth1, eth2 and eth3 (LAN ports 2, 3 and 4). HP StoreOnce 4500 and 4700 Backup systems have an additional two 10 Gbit ethernet ports that are identified as eth4 and eth5.
Port Set, depending upon the availability and number of 1 Gbit and 10 Gbit ethernet ports. The example below is for an HP StoreOnce 4500 or 4700 Backup system, which has two 10 Gbit ethernet ports, and only one 10 Gbit ethernet bonding option.

Select Static or DHCP addressing : 1 = DHCP (default) 2 = Static -->2 <--DHCP/Static: Static Enter an IP address for this network: -->172.1.1.16 <--Static IP address: 172.1.1.16 Enter network mask or network prefix length : For IPv4 networks, you may enter either a netmask or a length; For IPv6 networks, you must enter a network prefix length.
Page 47
--------------------------------------------------------------------- If you specify at least one network gateway, you must choose a default network from either the defined DCHP OR Static subnets as DCHP includes both IPv4 and IPv6 gateways. The default network must have an associated gateway. If you do not specify any network gateways, then you may not choose a default network.
All of these tasks may be carried out simply from the StoreOnce GUI. If you wish to use the StoreOnce CLI, refer to the HP StoreOnce Backup system CLI Reference Guide for syntax examples. The only worked example included in this guide describes how to configure IPsec.
The StoreOnce CLI commands that you use will depend upon the type of modification that you are making, whether you are adding to or modifying a configuration. See examples below for syntax. For more details of individual commands refer to the HP StoreOnce Backup system CLI Reference guide.

7 Network configuration, how to use the StoreOnce GUI This chapter provides an overview on how to create a network configuration using the StoreOnce GUI as an alternative to using the StoreOnce CLI. To add a custom configuration The following steps provide an overview of the process. Create the configuration (or copy an existing one) and specify the DNS servers, as required.
Page 54
As appropriate, select IPv4 or IPv6 for any DNS servers and enter the required addresses in the appropriate format. Click Save. Table 5 Network Configuration IP protocol and DNS fields Field name Description Name of the configuration This reflects the name of the configuration selected in the list.
Page 55
Table 6 Network Configuration Port Set fields Field name Description Port Set Name The name of the Port Set Ports The ports that have been defined for use by the Port Set and their speed.. Bond mode Any bond mode that has been defined. Bond modes are only appropriate if there is more than one port in the Port Set.
Page 56
Step 3: Create Subnets Select the Port Set and click Add in the Subnet section. Table 7 Network Configuration New Subnet fields Name Description Name The name of the Subnet Protocol Select IPv4 or IPv6. IP address The IP address for the subnet, in the appropriate format for the protocol selected.
Repeat until all the Subnets for the selected Port Set have been defined. Each physical Port Set may be configured with one Subnet that uses the IPv4 protocol and one Subnet that uses the IPv6 protocol. If the Port Set is VLAN enabled, it is possible to add a total of 128 VLAN Subnets. These total values apply across the whole network configuration, not per Port Set.
In the Port set section, click Add. Enter Port Set details, in exactly the same way as when creating a new configuration. Select the required 1 Gbit or 10 Gbit ports. Available ports are active for selection; ports already assigned are greyed out. If multiple ports have been selected, select a Bond Mode, as appropriate.

Setting up time and date...
All capacity expansion must be licensed. Each storage expansion kit contains a license that must be loaded. HP StoreOnce 4900 Backup: The correct number of licenses for additional storage must be installed in the correct order. The 44TB Capacity Expansion Kit has a different license type from the 60TB Capacity Expansion Kit.
The number you should use is either the System ID that can be found on the Device Configuration page of the GUI or the Serial Number that can be found on the Status page of the GUI. The HP licensing portal accepts the UUID with, or without, the leading “hp”.
<license key string> to key in the license directly. If you used email or a temporary file, copy and paste the string exactly as obtained from the HP Licensing website. It is not advised to key in the LTU manually.
Running Accessing the StoreOnce Backup system over SFTP There are a number of occasions when you may need to access the HP StoreOnce Backup system over SFTP: To transfer software update packages to the correct location in the StoreOnce folder structure.
Identify the version of software currently installed on the system from the StoreOnce page of the GUI or by using the StoreOnce CLI command, system show packages. Locate the latest software on the HP Support pages — go to http://www.hp.com/support and search for your product.
Upgrading BIOS or hardware firmware components Do not upgrade BIOS or hardware firmware components individually using downloads from the HP Support website because currently supported firmware component updates are already embedded within the StoreOnce software. Use either the StoreOnce GUI or the StoreOnce CLI to implement BIOS and hardware firmware component checks and updates.
Page 66
NOTE: When the firmware updates are initiated, the backup devices will be taken offline. Before performing this step, check that there are no outstanding backup jobs pending. If there are only one or two, click in the appropriate check box to select them and click Update Selected.
Configuring Remote Support Introduction Even if you do not intend to use the HP Remote Support feature, HP strongly recommends that you use the HP Remote Support pages in the GUI to record warranty serial numbers and product numbers. This is because warranty entitlement for most products is based on bundled serial and product numbers and this is the information that HP Support will request if you raise a Support call.
General procedure for setting up Remote Support on the StoreOnce GUI Remote Support is a standard feature that is enabled and available to all users. Refer to the HP StoreOnce Backup system user guide for more information, including example screenshots.
Page 69
HP StoreOnce 2700 Backup, BB877A HP StoreOnce 2900 Backup, BB910A HP StoreOnce 4500 Backup, BB878A HP StoreOnce 4500/4700 24 TB Capacity Expansion, BB881A HP StoreOnce 4500 48 TB Capacity Expansion, BB909A HP StoreOnce 4900 Capacity Expansion, BB904A Go to the StoreOnce Backup system and search for the component that has the sticker that matches the serial number - this is the piece of hardware to which Remote Support is referring.
Page 70
StoreOnce Product number, you can enter exactly the same details on the relevant pages. For example, the server head and initial storage for the HP StoreOnce 4900 or 4700 have the same Product Number and Serial Number for warranty purposes.
13. Call HP support and ask to verify a remote support event has been received. The HP Support person will check on the database portal that the event has been received and will also verify that warranty/serial/part numbers are valid and under warranty (or have valid care packs).
Figure 28 HP StoreOnce 4700 Backup bundled warranty serial numbers Description Product Name on GUI head server (OS disks only) (BB879A) ProLiant DL380p Gen8 first storage array (12 disks) (BB879A) D2600 3 to 9 additional storage arrays (BB881A) D2600 This means that Items 1 and 2 have the same warranty serial number; each additional enclosure has a unique warranty serial number.
This means that the head server and all storage arrays have a unique warranty serial number. Locating warranty info — HP 2900 The base HP StoreOnce 2900 model, BB910A, consists of a server with 6 disks. The warranty details required for the Customer entered serial number are read from BIOS, so that the Server page is populated automatically.
Configuring SNMP This feature enables an HP StoreOnce Backup system to act as a Network Element in an SNMP network so that it can communicate effectively with Network Management Stations using SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). You use the StoreOnce CLI to enable this feature and configure various settings, as described below.
However, be sure to keep only the latest version of the key store. The StoreOnce CLI command config save keystore that backs up the key store, also encrypts it, ensuring that it can only be decrypted by the HP StoreOnce backup system, should you need to restore it.
Run the command manage to change the password for the HPresetpassword user. At the prompts provide: (current) UNIX password: the default at installation is hpresetpassword New UNIX password: the new password should be strong and memorable; it will not be accepted if it is weak, for example a dictionary name Retype new UNIX password:re-enter the new password to confirm it Type exit to log out.
(over Ethernet). The backup application will not perceive a difference. However, some configuration is required to set up the backup and restore connections between the ports on the HP StoreOnce Backup system and the ports on the client servers. This is done using the Fibre Channel Settings tab.
Page 78
Initial configuration Please refer to the HP StoreOnce Backup system Installation and Configuration guide for cabling instructions and zoning recommendations. The following process describes the steps to complete configuration. Go to the Fibre Channel Settings tab and, in the bottom section of the screen (Devices), locate the World Wide Name information for each port on the StoreOnce Backup system.
Page 79
StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel connections to a target StoreOnce Fibre Channel port and therefore it is sufficient to have a device count of 1. On Windows and HP-UX, this is not possible. The number of devices per initiator port should be increased when multiple backup streams are required so that multiple LUNs are presented to the client.

The HP StoreOnce 2700 Backup system does not have a 10 Gbit ethernet card. Network For iSCSI devices the HP StoreOnce Backup system is designed to be run on a 1Gb or 10Gb (if model has 10 Gbit ethernet card installed) network. Performance will be reduced if a 100BaseT network is used.
Power up the server using the power on button on the server to trigger a cold boot and automatically power up. The normal boot sequence can take up to 10 minutes. On power up the HP StoreOnce Backup system runs its fans at high speed for approximately 10 seconds before returning to normal speed.
The following sequence will cause problems when connecting to a NAS share. Create an NFS share and mount it on a Linux box. Delete the share on the HP StoreOnce Backup system without unmounting it from the Linux box. Recreate the share again with the same name.

13 More networking examples This chapter contains a number of networking examples using StoreOnce CLI commands and is for reference only. It provides the following network configuration examples: Example 1: Two subnets created on different network interfaces. Static IPv4 address on eth0 and static IPv6 address on interface eth1.
Netmask/Prefix: 64 Domain Name: mydomain.com Gateway: fdca:cd45:5ab0:862::0 Default Network: yes VLAN tag: Port Set: Port Set_2 with these interfaces: eth1 Encryption Links: Bonding Mode: Not applicable Command Successful # net activate config dual_Port Set The network configuration dual_Port Set contains a new default subnet. As a result all network interfaces will be reset, resulting in a temporary outage of all management and data network connections.
