Key definitions

StoreOnce Systems support both IPv4 and IPv6 address protocols.
IPv4 is available for backup to all target devices, for replication and StoreOnce Catalyst
Copy between StoreOnce Systems, and for the StoreOnce Management Console.
IPv6 is supported for backup to StoreOnce Catalyst stores, replication and Catalyst Copy
between StoreOnce Systems, and for the StoreOnce Management Console; IPv6 cannot
be used for backup to VTL or NAS shares.
All systems also support DHCP (v4 and v6).
Data in flight encryption is intended to be used to secure links between data centers for
StoreOnce Replication or Low Bandwidth Catalyst Copy operations. Using Data In Flight
Encryption for direct backup operations to the StoreOnce appliance over a local network is
not supported due to the performance impact of the encryption. IPSEC is not supported for
use on IPv6 subnets
The key points to understand when creating or modifying the configuration are described below.
Network configuration
The network is defined in a single network configuration with three main components: DNS
server settings, Port Set settings and Subnet settings. There may be up to 16 configurations
on any StoreOnce System, but only one can be active. Once a configuration is activated, it
becomes the current configuration.
DNS servers
Up to three DNS servers (one primary, and two backup servers if the primary is unavailable)
may be configured for the StoreOnce System. These may have IPv4 and/or IPv6 addresses
and apply across all Port Sets and Subnets defined within the configuration.
Port sets
A port set defines the physical 1 GbE and 10 GbE Ethernet ports that you intend to connect
to your network. A port set also defines the network port bonding mode, whether VLAN
tagging is enabled and the Frame Size. Mode 1, 4 and 6 network port bonding is supported
on sets of 1 GbE and 10 GbE network ports (but not across 1 GbE and 10 GbE network
ports).
At least one Port Set must be configured to support connection to the StoreOnce Management
CLI and GUI. Further Port Sets may be defined, according to the number and type of physical
ports still available and how they are bonded.
Each Port Set will have at least one Subnet.
Subnets
Subnets define the network paths used by clients to access the StoreOnce System for
Backup and Management, and the network paths that are used for StoreOnce Catalyst Copy
