For Use With Vtl Libraries - HPE StoreOnce 3100 Installation And Configuration Manual

NOTE:
These Fibre Channel settings apply to the whole appliance and can also be edited in the StoreOnce
VTL section of the GUI, if you are backing up to StoreOnce VTL library target devices over Fibre
Channel. Port Speed or Topology settings, defined on either page, apply to all target devices being
backed up over Fibre Channel.
• In the Devices section locate the Number of Logins and Devices per Initiator Portfor each port.
These values determine the number of concurrent backup and restore connections allowed on each
FC port on the StoreOnce System.
◦ The Number of Logins defines the number of client-side ports that are zoned to be able to
connect to that port on the StoreOnce System. This cannot be edited.
◦ The Devices per Initiator Portvalue determines the number of backup and restore connections
that are allowed — for each client login — to that port on the StoreOnce System. This value should
be increased if multiple concurrent backup streams are required. Note that the maximum allowed is
64.
NOTE:
Once the client has Fibre Channel zoned with the StoreOnce appliance, there are a number of
considerations for each operating system. See the HPE StoreOnce User Guide for more details.

For use with VTL libraries

Configuration settings are summarized below. See the StoreOnce System User Guide for detailed
instructions with screenshot examples.
There are three StoreOnce GUI screens that relate to FC with VTL.
• If required, the administrator may configure the port speed or topology from the VTL-Fibre Channel
Settings tab. The default settings are recommended.
These Fibre Channel settings apply to the whole appliance and can also be edited in the StoreOnce
Catalyst section of the GUI, if you are backing up to StoreOnce Catalyst target devices over Fibre
Channel. Port Speed or Topology settings, defined on either page, apply to all target devices being
backed up over Fibre Channel. Therefore, any changes here will also apply to StoreOnce Catalyst
target devices over Fibre Channel and vice versa.
NOTE:
Changing the port speed will make the StoreOnce System appear as down. Refresh the VTL
Configuration page to update the status. This will also update the Fibre Channel Settings tab.
• When the user creates a library, using the VTL-Libraries-Create function, they specify which FC ports
it will use.
• The world wide names for the ports can then be found on the VTL-Libraries-Interface Information
tab.
