More about the configuration file
Structure of the configuration file
The configuration file is a container holding one or more subnets
The number of subnets defined within the file is governed by the number of network ports
available on the StoreOnce Backup system and the way in which the user wishes to back up
and replicate data, and manage the appliance. HP StoreOnce 4420/4410 and 2620 Backup
systems have two ports and can be attached to two 1GbE subnets; HP StoreOnce 4440/4430
also have two 10GbE ports and could be connected to four different subnets (2 x 1GbE and
2 x 10GbE).
Each subnet may have one or more network ports; if multiple ports are defined, they can be
bonded
The parameters specified for the network ports are unique to that subnet; you may use DHCP
in one subnet and static addressing in another
If multiple subnets are defined, one (and only one) subnet must always be designated as the
default gateway for routing traffic to IP addresses that are not within the configured subnets
NOTE:
Syntax examples of creating configuration files are included later in this chapter.
If creating additional network configuration files
Additional configuration files may be created according to networking requirements. The following
guidelines apply:
There are two fixed configuration filenames reserved for the system that cannot be used:
Factory_Default_Configuration and current
There may be up to 16 configuration files on any StoreOnce Backup system, but only one can
be active
Filenames are alpha numeric
There are three stages to applying a new network configuration: create the configuration file,
validate the file and activate the file. All are carried using StoreOnce CLI commands, as shown
in the worked examples below.
Once a file is activated, it becomes the current file. There can be only one current file.
Once you have finished creating a configuration and whenever you modify a configuration,
be sure to use the StoreOnce CLI to create a configuration save and restore file.
Refer to the HP StoreOnce CLI Reference Guide for the full range of network and save and
restore commands. This guide only describes those commands that should be used for initial
configuration.
Default network configuration
The name of the default configuration is Factory_Default_Configuration and you can display its
details as follows:
#net show config Factory_Default_Configuration
Network Name: Factory_Default_Configuration
Network Description: default
Write Protected: no
