Page 40: Identifying Network Ports Available
If you select a bonded configuration for your network, the network wizard provides a number of permutations for a portset, depending upon the availability and number of 10GbE ports. The example below is for an HP StoreOnce 4500 or 4700 Backup system, which has two 10GbE ports, and only one 10 Gig bonding option..

Page 42: Vlan Subnets With Hp Storeonce Backup
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 1GbE ports plus 10GbE ports, therefore there is a limit on the number of physical subnets to which the HP StoreOnce Backup system can be directly connected.
Page 43: Vlan Guidelines
20 VLANs, each with its own subnet and, typically, use the 10GbE bonded link to the HP StoreOnce Backup system as a trunk. To do this, the network administrator sets up the switches with the necessary VLANs and identifies 20 tags.
Page 44 Figure 19 Network example NOTE: For a worked example on configuring this network see Network configuration, how to use StoreOnce CLI commands (page 45). Network configuration, understanding the StoreOnce networking concepts...
Page 45: Network Configuration, How To Use Storeonce Cli Commands
TIP: Even if you intend to use solely VLANs to connect to your system, HP recommends configuring one physical subnet to test the initial installation. The easiest way to do this is to use the default Quick Install connection to LAN port 1 over DHCP.
Page 46 Gateway IP address Domain name, such as mycompany.com The preceding information is sufficient to configure the network and once entered, the wizard will display and ask you to confirm the specified settings. At this point, do you wish to configure another subnet? For example, you may wish to dedicate one network to StoreOnce Catalyst Copy and replication.

Page 48: Network Configuration Using Net Set Wizard
CLI commands, as described in Modifying a network configuration (page 56) and the HP StoreOnce Backup system CLI Reference guide. NOTE: If you wish to configure encryption on a subnet, you can only do this using the StoreOnce CLI commands.
Page 49 Figure 21 Network configuration example NOTE: The wizard runs continuously. You cannot interrupt it and save the configurations already specified. However, for the purposes of this example, we have split it into sections to add notes. First, we shall specify the DNS servers and create Portset1 on eth0. We shall keep this as DHCP in line with the Quick Install option.
Page 50 Select the type of configuration for this subnet (Selecting "bonded" here will create a "portset" consisting of two separate NICs bonded together) : 1 = Single port (default) 2 = Bonded ports (note ports must be the same speed to bond) -->1 <--Bonded/Single: Single port Select network adapter :...
Page 51 1 = No (default) 2 = Yes - on a new physical port set At this point, you have configured the network sufficiently to enable access to the StoreOnce Management CLI and GUI. If preferred, you could complete the network wizard and carry out the rest of the network configuration using the StoreOnce CLI commands.

Page 56: Modifying The Current Network Configuration
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.
Page 57: To Add Vlan Subnets
To add VLAN subnets VLAN subnets may only be added to portsets that are VLAN enabled. In our example, portSet2 is VLAN enabled. We shall add the new subnet, SalesSubnet with a VLAN tag ID of 23. This will not be the default gateway. Copy the current config that has just been created and activated by the wizard to a new config name that can be edited: # net copy config from current to ACMECorpNetwork1...

Page 59: To Add Data In Flight Encryption
Validate the configuration: # net validate config ACMECorpNetwork1 Command Successful Activate the configuration: # net activate config ACMECorpNetwork1 To add Data in Flight Encryption IP packets have no in-built security measures, which means that access to the network enables packet content to be viewed and, because there is no verification, there is no indication whether a packet has been viewed or the content modified.
Page 60: License Requirements
Figure 22 IPsec pairs for Data in Flight Encryption License requirements If you wish to use the IPsec feature, you must first install the Security pack license. Configuring the StoreOnce Backup system The syntax for the StoreOnce CLI command is: net add encryption myconfig mysubnet ipAddr clientip passPhrase mypassword In the following example, we have created a copy of the configuration called config_with_ipsec that adds encryption to subnet_2.
Page 61: Encryption With Replication
The IPsec pair and rule must be configured on both the backup media server and the StoreOnce Backup appliance. See the HP StoreOnce Backup system Linux and UNIX Configuration guide for information about configuring Linux media servers. Configuration of Windows media servers is...
Page 62 For example, we have one 1GbE port unassigned, eth1. To add it after initial configuration we would use the following procedure. NOTE: We will not configure this subnet with the default gateway. Create a new portset for the copied configuration. The StoreOnce CLI command is in the format: net create portset ACMECorpNetwork1 portset_4 ports eth1 vlansupport Add a subnet to the portset.

Page 66 NOTE: When expanding capacity, additional pools are created for each set of disks. As there is a separate Storage Cluster for each disk enclosure and associated RAID controller, the pools under Storage Cluster 1 are expanded first. This is the first disk enclosure that is attached to the RAID card in PCI slot 1 and the pools are identified from Pool (C1_P1) to Pool (C1_P6).
Page 67 After LUNs are created, parity initialization starts. This can take up to 10 hours to complete. Log on to the StoreOnce User Interface to check the status of this process. Check the Pools and Volumes information for each storage cluster. There are up to 6 pools for each storage cluster.
