BB856A: HP StoreOnce 4420 Backup system
BB857A: HP StoreOnce 4430 Backup system
NOTE:
The HP StoreOnce 4210 iSCSI/FC product is fitted with 1TB disks (the same as the HP
StoreOnce 4220 Backup system), however, the configured available disk capacity of the system
is approximately 50% of this available disk capacity. The system cannot use the whole capacity
of the fitted disks because the product is not fitted with the required memory or processor to make
use of the additional capacity.
Converting from G2 models
HP is offering existing StoreOnce D2D Single Node G2 customers the ability to convert their
appliances to the next generation of StoreOnce software for free. HP StoreOnce G3 software offers
several significant features, the most important being the introduction of HP StoreOnce Catalyst
devices that allow low and high bandwidth backups and backup application controlled, off-site
copy between StoreOnce appliances for those customers using HP DataProtector or Symantec
OST.
WARNING!
process is data destructive.It is recommended that ONLY customers who need to take advantage
of the new features convert their products. Contact HP Support for further details. The conversion
process is not described in this guide.

Supported Ethernet configurations
The HP StoreOnce Backup system supports a wide range of network configurations. The following
list summarizes configuration details. See
configuring the network.
An Ethernet connection is required for backing up to NAS shares, Catalyst stores or iSCSI VTL
devices, and replication activities, and for all StoreOnce management tasks via the GUI or
CLI.
The HP StoreOnce Backup system supports IPv4 only.
DHCP and static IP addressing are supported.
All StoreOnce Backup systems have two 1GbE ethernet ports. HP StoreOnce 4420/4430
Backup systems have two additional 10GbE ports. Mode 6 bonding is supported on pairs of
1GbE and 10GbE ports.
Networking parameters are contained within a network configuration file. For ease of
installation, a default configuration file is supplied with the StoreOnce Backup system. As long
as LAN port 1 of the appliance is connected to a DHCP–enabled 1GbE network switch, the
HP StoreOnce Backup system will be immediately active on the network after installation.
The user then has the option of continuing to use the default configuration file or creating and
activating an additional configuration file that is tailored to their exact networking requirements.
NOTE:
Users who do not have a DHCP-enabled 1GbE network must create and activate a network
configuration file before their system can become active on the network. 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
HP StoreOnce G3 software is significantly different to G2 and, as such, the conversion
100 Base-T Ethernet will limit performance.
