StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel

NOTE: The Fibre Channel Settings tab is only relevant to certain StoreOnce System models and will only
be available if your system supports Fibre Channel.
If StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel is supported on the StoreOnce appliance, the Fibre Channel
Settings tab is available. StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel functions in the same way as standard
StoreOnce Catalyst (over Ethernet). The backup application will not perceive a difference. However, some
configuration is required to set up the backup and restore connections between the ports on the
StoreOnce System and the ports on the client servers. This is done using the Fibre Channel Settings tab.
When using StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel:
• Backups are supported on StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel interface and over Ethernet
networks.
• Appliance-to-appliance connectivity through optimized StoreOnce Catalyst copy jobs is supported over
both Ethernet and Fibre Channel.
• Administrator client privileges are required to run StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel because it
accesses OS-specific device files associated with StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel devices.
See Client configurations for more information.

between the server and appliance. See Zoning considerations for more information.
