Driver installation on client server (optional, VTL only)

To create Virtual Tape Devices on the StoreOnce System, two drivers are required on the client
server:
HP LTO Tape driver: allows your system to recognize the Ultrium tape devices created by
the StoreOnce System.
Tape drivers can be installed from the HPE website for driver updates at http://
www.hpe.com/support/hpesc. Search on the Product name and select Download Drivers
and Software.
Medium changer driver: No additional medium changer driver is required because Microsoft
Windows provides a suitable generic driver and all backup applications provide their own
changer drivers.
NOTE: Certain backup applications require their own drivers for both the tape device and
medium changer. For many applications these are installed automatically during the software
installation process. If the backup software is already installed, you may need to update manually
the drivers after installing the StoreOnce System.
After installation, the StoreOnce System does not appear as a device under My Computer and
it is not mapped to a drive letter. The host machine requires a backup application to back up and
restore data. However, if drivers are installed, the backup system can be viewed as a tape drive
(1) and medium changer (2) from the Device Manager.
NOTE: For a Fibre Channel StoreOnce system, a new "unknown" device will be discovered
in Device Manager. This device is required only to ensure that a Fibre Channel target exists as
LUN 0 in the SAN. No functionality is provided by this device and no driver is required. Note that
this device will be replaced by the Catalyst Over Fibre Channel initiator device if CoFC is
configured.

iSCSI Initiator (VTL only)

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 configured on the StoreOnce System and will
not be able to perform backups.
For Linux and UNIX operating systems an iSCSI initiator is embedded in the operating system.
Please refer to the StoreOnce System Linux and UNIX Configuration Guide for further information.
Make sure that you have downloaded the latest operating system patches before you configure
your system.
For Windows systems the Microsoft iSCSI initiator is required to connect to any Virtual Tape
Libraries created on the StoreOnce System. The iSCSI initiator ships with later versions of
Microsoft Windows, but not with Windows 2003 or earlier. So, if required, it must be retrieved
from the Microsoft website.
NOTE: With some versions of Windows the iSCSI initiator service is not started by default.
This component must be configured manually by the user to run on startup. Refer to Windows
documentation for more details.
