    StoreOnce technology. HP StoreOnce G3 models The following products belong to the HP StoreOnce G3 Backup system family; they are also referred to as single-node StoreOnce models, in comparison to the HP StoreOnce B6000 Backup system which is a multi-node StoreOnce product. (This node distinction is important when configuring replication and Catalyst copy jobs and understanding target and source IP addresses.)

    This network configuration file may use any available Ethernet port, but one must always be connected, even if you are only using the FC ports to back up and restore data to the HP StoreOnce Before you start...
  • Page 7: Supported Fibre Channel Connections

    Fibre Channel is not supported on the HP StoreOnce 2620 or the HP StoreOnce 4210 iSCSI Backup system. When connecting to a Fibre Channel network (for backing up to FC VTL devices), the HP StoreOnce Backup system is supplied with the correct FC card pre-installed. Cables are not supplied.

  • Page 11: Connecting The Hardware

    Connecting the hardware Use the supplied power cord(s) to connect the HP StoreOnce Backup system to the rack power supply. This HP-approved cord is appropriate for your specific geographic region. HP StoreOnce 4420/30 and 4220/10 Backup systems have a redundant power supply.

  • Page 15: Accessing The Storeonce Management Console

    Some tasks, such as network configuration, snmp configuration and date and time configuration, can only be carried out from the StoreOnce CLI. See the HP StoreOnce CLI Reference Guide for more information about the StoreOnce CLI commands and their syntax.

    If you wish to make additions or modifications to an existing network configuration without having to reconfigure all settings then use the net modify or net add CLI commands instead, as described in the HP StoreOnce Backup system CLI Reference guide. The wizard consists of the following steps:...
  • Page 19: Before Running The Wizard

    Are you connecting a single port or are you connecting two ports to your network? Which Ethernet port(s) are you connecting? Bonded pairs will be eth0 and eth1 for HP StoreOnce 2620/4210/4220 Backup systems. For the other HP StoreOnce Backup systems, eth0/eth1 are the 1GbE ports;...

  • Page 23: Identifying Network Ports Available

    All systems have two 1GbE ports that are identified as eth0 (LAN port 1) and eth1 (LAN port 2). HP StoreOnce 4400 Series Backup systems have four 1GbE ports, of which eth0 and eth1 are used and eth2 and eth3 are unused. They also have an additional two 10GbE ports that are identified as eth4 and eth5.
  • Page 24: Network Configuration Examples Not Using The Wizard

    Backup system is connected via LAN Port 1. For example, this might be the case with HP StoreOnce 42xx and 44xx Backup systems if the customer is backing up mainly to FC virtual tape libraries.

    Command Successful NOTE: If setting up a single 10GbE port on an HP StoreOnce 44xx Backup system to be the initial configuration, the process is exactly the same, but you would connect to the required 10GbE port and specify eth4 or eth5 as the port parameter in the CLI command.
  • Page 26: Adding A Second Network Without Bonding (Example Shows 1Gbe Network)

    It is possible to create a network configuration that defines as many subnets as there are ports available on the HP StoreOnce Backup system HP StoreOnce 26xx and 42xx Backup systems have two 1GbE ports and may be connected to two separate networks. This may be useful if company policy requires a StoreOnce function to be restricted to a specific network.

    The tape drive is configurable as an LTO-2, LTO-3, LTO-4 or LTO-5 device. This is the default behavior of the tape drive and there is no need and no way to change it on the HP StoreOnce Backup system. It is important not to confuse emulation type with cartridge size. Emulation type is totally independent from cartridge size.

    If the host does not have an iSCSI initiator, it will not be able to connect to the library configured on the HP StoreOnce Backup system and will not be able to perform backups.

  • Page 33 Click Discover Portal... You must enter the IP address or fully qualified domain name of the HP StoreOnce Backup system (for example, mystoreonce.mydomain.com) to add it as a target portal for the host on the Discovery tab. Do not change the Port; it should be 3260.
  • Page 34 When you run the iSCSI Initiator manually, new devices have a status of Inactive on the Targets tab. You must log on to the appropriate targets for your host. Remember that each library has at least two devices and you must log onto each one separately. If the emulation type you have selected allows more drives, there will be a target device for each drive.

  • Page 38 If you want to use mutual authentication, which means that the target must also log on to the Initiator, make sure that the Perform mutual authentication box is checked. The secret for mutual authentication is set on the Configuration tab. You must also provide the Target User Name and Secret when you configure the device in the StoreOnce Management Console.
  • Page 39: Fibre Channel Configuration

    StoreOnce Management Console always requires an Ethernet connection. When using FC to back up hosts, you should still connect to an Ethernet port. Fibre Channel connection The HP StoreOnce Backup system is supplied with the correct FC card pre-installed. It does not include FC cables. Connect to the appropriate LAN port.
  • Page 40: Zoning

    Reducing the potential for conflict with untested third-party products Zoning may not always be required for configurations that are already small or simple. Typically the bigger the SAN is, the more zoning is needed. HP recommends the following for determining how and when to use zoning.

    For each FC port there will be a Diagnostic Fibre Channel Device presented to the Fabric. There will be one per active FC physical port; this means there are wo ports for an HP D2D41 12, 4312 or 4324 appliance.
