Preparing For Basic Configuration; Structure Of The Guide; Overview Of Configuration Tasks - HP StoreOnce 3100 System Installation And Configuration Manual

1 Preparing for Basic Configuration

This guide assumes that the user has followed the instructions on the printed Start Here poster
to install the StoreOnce System in the Data Center and establish an initial 1 GbE network
connection for the StoreOnce Management Console.
IMPORTANT:

Structure of the guide

The guide is divided into two sections. The first section is task based and describes how to log
in to the StoreOnce GUI to complete basic configuration tasks. The second section provides
reference information for the hardware and physical connection to Ethernet or Fibre Channel.

Overview of configuration tasks
