    VTL (Virtual Tape Libraries) VTL Licensing requirements • No licensing is required for VTL emulations unless using the Security features Data at Rest Encryption, Data in Flight Encryption, and Secure Erase. • VTL (or NAS) replication requires a license on the target site, but only if replication is used. VTL replication requires a replication license per couplet, for each couplet in the appliance.

  • Page 21: Editing The Fibre Channel Settings

    Setting Description Speed The default is Auto, which is the recommended option. The speed will be auto-negotiated between the switch and StoreOnce appliance to choose the highest supported speed. For users who wish to fix the speed, other values are available, as follows: 16Gbs, 8Gbs, 4Gbs, or 2Gbs (not recommended). Topology The default is N_Port, when a single target device creates many virtual devices on a fabric attached port.

  • Page 22: Disabling Library Auto Creation

    Drives within a virtual library can only appear on one Fibre Channel port. If you select multiple ports for the library robotics controller, the drives are automatically distributed evenly across the ports to ensure best performance and failover. After creating the library, it is possible to change the drive assignments using the edit function on the Interface Information tab for the selected library.

  • Page 23: Library And Device Details Parameters

    Library and device details parameters Library parameters (top half of page) Table 8: Library parameters Parameter Description Name Identifies the selected device (library). Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends using a name that identifies the host or backup job with which it is associated.

Emulation The StoreOnce appliance supports HPE and IBM Library and drive emulations. Library Emulation The emulation type of the library. The StoreOnce System supports a number of emulation types.
  • Page 26 Field Description Default Drive Emulation The drive emulation type, LTO–2, 3, 4, 5 or 6, determines the default capacity of the newly created cartridges within the library device. Tape cartridge capacities can be changed individually at any time but cannot be reduced to smaller than the current used size.
  • Page 27 Field Description Barcode Template Enabled Enables configuration of the barcodes. A barcode is an 8– or 6–character, alpha-numeric, unique identifier for a cartridge within the StoreOnce System. The backup application will normally track cartridges using barcodes but may also alias the cartridge with another name in its database.

  • Page 28: Creating A Library

    Creating a library HPE recommends the following to avoid complication when configuring the backup application, and also to avoid creating additional Fibre Channel SAN traffic: • Only configure the libraries that you need.

  • Page 29: Deleting A Library

    4. Enter the appropriate information; see Library and device details parameters on page 23. To enable Data at Rest or Data in Flight Encryption for the new library, configure it at this time by checking the Encryption Enabled box. This feature requires a license. If the license is not installed, an information message is displayed next to the check box stating Not Licensed.

  • Page 30: Adding And Removing Drives

    CAUTION: Take care when changing the Port configuration because the system does not automatically reassign any drives that may now be configured incorrectly. For example, if you change from a multiple Fibre Channel port configuration to a single Fibre Channel port, manually correct those drives that are connected to the wrong port when the status shows ready and restarted.
  • Page 31 D2DBS Generic If supported by your backup application, this is the preferred emulation type because it does not emulate any physical library types in existence and is, therefore, clearly identifiable as a StoreOnce device. It is the most flexible emulation type available; however, backup application support varies by software vendor.

  • Page 32: Viewing The Interface Information

    Navigate to StoreOnce > VTL > Libraries > Interface Information tab. This tab shows interface information for the media changer and drives on the selected library. The information for the Interface Information tab is generated automatically. HPE discourages manual configuration.

  • Page 89: Zoning Considerations

    Zoning considerations Important: Non-optimal Fibre Channel SAN zoning can lead to a lack of Fibre Channel connectivity. HPE recommends the following configurations: • Every backup/media server should zone at least two Fibre Channel ports with at least two StoreOnce node Fibre Channel ports across different Fibre Channel cards, ideally across different SANs. Multiple connections allow for higher availability.

  • Page 90: Client Configurations

    • When using StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel to StoreOnce 6500 and 6600 appliances, ensure that a backup/media server is zoned with both StoreOnce nodes in the couplet. On a failover event, the World Wide Name of the sister node will be used to communicate with both StoreOnce service sets.

  • Page 91: Viewing The Store Details
