More about network configuration

The actual tasks depend upon network environment. They may include:
• Add subnets to the original Port Set on the 1 GbE network.
• Create additional 1 GbE and 10 GbE Port Sets that may be bonded and VLAN enabled.
• Configure IPv4 and IPv6 subnets on Port Sets.
• Add Data in Flight encryption to subnets that are used for replication or StoreOnce Catalyst Copy
between StoreOnce appliances.
Network configuration tasks may be carried out from the StoreOnce GUI or the StoreOnce CLI. A major
benefit of using the StoreOnce GUI, particularly if configuring multiple VLANs, is that you can save the
configuration as you work on it. This guide includes a worked example of using the StoreOnce GUI to
create a network configuration, see Complete network configuration on page 55. For information about
editing and deleting configurations see the StoreOnce System User Guide.
NOTE:
Administrators who have experience of installing and configuring StoreOnce Systems may prefer to use
the StoreOnce CLI commands, particularly net set wizard to configure the network for the first time.
This is described in the HPE StoreOnce CLI Reference Guide.

Understanding hardware configuration options

1 GbE network connections

All HPE StoreOnce Systems have four 1 GbE network ports. LAN port 1 (eth0) will be connected if you
have followed the instructions in the Start Here installation. The remaining three 1 GbE ports (eth1, eth2
and eth3) are available for further network configuration.
See Hardware overview reference section on page 68 for diagrams showing 1 GbE and 10 GbE port
locations on the rear of the StoreOnce System.
IMPORTANT:
The network configuration may use any available Ethernet port, but one Ethernet port must always
be connected, even if you are using only FC ports to back up and restore data to the StoreOnce
System. This is because the Ethernet connection is required to access the StoreOnce Management
Console remotely and for Catalyst Copy and replication between StoreOnce Systems.
10 GbE network connections
Most HPE StoreOnce Systems also support connection to 10 GbE SFP and 10 GbE-T networks.
Connection requires installation of additional PCIe cards, known as StoreOnce Optional Hardware.
NOTE:
The HPE StoreOnce 3100 System does not support connection to 10 GbE networks.
