Network configuration examples not using the wizard

Example 1: Single port 1GbE connection

If single port mode using a 1GbE network is acceptable and the network is DHCP enabled, no
further network configuration is required as long as the 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.
However, if the 1 GbE network requires static addressing, it is necessary to create a new
configuration file and apply it before you can access the StoreOnce Management Console via the
network. In our example, we shall call the file onegigportconfig.
You will need to connect directly to the appliance, as Admin user, and configure the network
directly via the StoreOnce CLI.
When assigning static IP settings, the required information is:
An IP Address for the device e.g. 192.168.1.50
Subnet Mask e.g. 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway (address of the server or router which provides external network connection)
e.g. 192.168.1.1
Optional information is:
Domain Name (domain extension for the device) e.g. hp.com
DNS server addresses (address of the server which translates hostnames to IP addresses) e.g
192.168.1.1
To configure connection to a static 1GbE network
1.
Make sure one of the 1GbE LAN ports is physically connected before starting to re-configure.
It does not matter which one is connected; we shall use LAN Port 1 (eth0) in our example.
2.
Connect a console and keyboard directly to the ports on the back of the StoreOnce Backup
system.
3.
Using an SSH application (freely available on the internet) connect to the StoreOnce CLI from
the console as Admin user (Admin, admin).
4.
Create a new configuration using the command:
#net create config <config_name>.
#net create config onegigportconfig writeprotect no
nl
dns 192.168.10.1,192.168.10.2 subnet net1 default yes
nl
ipaddr 192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 port eth0
5.
Validate the new configuration.
#net validate config onegigportconfig
6.
Activate the new configuration.
#net activate config onegigportconfig
24
