Page 13: Product Overview
Product Overview What is Network Attached Storage? Network-attached storage (NAS) is one of the latest innovations in the computer information storage world. It provides a simpler, more reliable, and more cost-effective way to add shared storage to your network. NAS requires very little setup and is easy to maintain. This is achieved by using a streamlined technology called a thin server, which also allows the NAS devices to be completely independent of the general-purpose file server.

Page 71: Adding Hard Disk Drives
Adding Hard Disk Drives You can upgrade the server’s capacity by adding hard disk drive modules, for a total of six per HD Server. You can also replace existing drives with higher-capacity drives. This chapter describes how to install and incorporate an additional drive into your file system, either as a spare or as part of the RAID volume.
Page 72: Install The Drive Module
Install the Drive Module Most of the documentation that accompanies your newly purchased module is related to other products in which it may be installed. For the HD Server, use the following installation instructions instead. To use a replacement that is on hand, also use these instructions. Disk drives are more susceptible to shock, vibration, and CAUTION! electrostatic discharge when they are not installed in the server.
Page 73 2. Shut down the server and leave the power on, using one of the following methods. (If the server is not powered on, skip this step.) • Use the control panel’s view mode, as follows: Press twice. Use the button to scroll to the parameter.

Page 80: Installing An Internal Tape Drive
Installing an Internal Tape Drive You can install a tape drive listed in the “Internal tape drives” table on page 8-1. To avoid damage: CAUTION! Verify that the server’s power cords are disconnected before you do step 10 below. Protect the tape drive from static electricity. Before handling the tape drive, touch any unpainted metal surface (such as the grounded rear sheet-metal surface on the HD Server) to discharge static electricity.
Page 81 4. Attach the tape drive into the L-series mounting tray: Use the four Phillips screws provided in the screw kit. Use the topmost mounting holes in the tray. The tray extends from the back of the tape drive. See the illustration. Tape drive Tray Secure screws in upper...
Page 82 11. Remove the front bezel from the server: Grasp the indentations at the sides near the top of the bezel. Pull the top forward, swinging it down to clear the retaining clips at the bottom of the enclosure. Lift the bezel away from the enclosure and set aside. Removing the front bezel.
Page 83 13. Remove the filler panel covering the tape drive slot at the front of the server (illustrated below), using a Torx #15 driver to remove the two screws. Reserve the screws for attaching the tape drive. Remove screws here. Keep the filler panel. To properly operate the server in the CAUTION! future without a tape drive in the slot, the slot must again be covered with the filler panel.
Page 84 15. Use the Torx #15 screws that you removed with the filler panel in step 13 above, to secure the tape drive module to the enclosure. 16. Inside the enclosure at the rear of the tape drive, attach the SCSI cable connector labeled “Tape”...
Page 85 17. Inside the enclosure, find the unattached connector on the power cable (not the connector at the end of the cable that is used for the server module above the tape drive). Attach it to the power connector to the right of the SCSI connector. If installing an HP DAT24i tape drive, the power extension cable found in the tape drive packaging may help you fit the power cable.
Page 86: Attaching An External Tape Drive
Attaching an External Tape Drive You can install an tape drive listed in the “External tape drives” table on page 8-1. 1. Unpack the tape drive product. Verify that you have the following components. Other materials are not applicable to the HD Server.
Page 87 8. Attach one end of the SCSI cable accompanying your tape drive to the rear of the tape drive unit. 9. Attach the other end of the SCSI cable to the SCSI connector on the rear of the server. If it does not have the correct connector, refer to the “Ordering Information”...

Page 90: Capacity
Capacity Each DAT or DLT tape drive has a nominal capacity that assumes an estimate of a 2-to-1 compression ratio. For example, the HP DAT40i has a native capacity of 20 GB. If the compression of the files you back up on it is actually 2:1, then 40 GB will fit.
Page 91: Maintaining Tape Drives
• Cleaning of tape heads. See “Maintaining Tape Drives” on page 9-3. • Labeling and rotation of the tapes. Use a tape handling routine that is easy to follow. Use a tape labeling routine that assures you can find the correct tape for a particular day and for the files needed.
Page 92: Specifying And Scheduling A Backup
Discard it after you have used it 50 times, or as instructed on the packaging. Specifying and Scheduling a Backup Use a web browser at a network workstation to start HD Server Admin. See page 4-1 to page 4-4. Click the Backup/Restore tab. To access the appropriate backup page, select a button from the row across the top as follows.
Page 93 Note: You cannot change tapes during a backup of this server, so you One Tape Only must specify a set of files that will fit on one tape. Your file system may be too large to fit on a single tape. See “Capacity” on page 9-2 for further information.
Page 94: Backup Now
Compatibility Mode If you will need to restore this server’s tapes to servers other than an HP SureStore HD Server 4000, and the utilities can restore the “ustar” or “pax” format, then select Compatibility Mode. Tapes made either in compatibility mode or in the default with the mode disabled, can be restored in an HP SureStore HD Server 4000.
Page 95: Schedule Backups
Schedule You can schedule up to eight different backups, each comprising a portion of the file system or the entire file system. Use the Backups Backup/Restore Æ Schedule page. Each entry in the backup schedule consists of the file set to back up, the backup options, and the day and time to perform the backup.
Page 96 Saving Network Configuration Before you make that backup, however, you should store the current server and network configuration information into the c/system/config/ directory, so that it too will be included in the backup. The server and network configuration information is stored in Flash memory on the server module.
Page 97: Restoring Files
Restoring Files Use a browser at a network workstation to start up HD Server Admin. (See page 4-1 to page 4-4.) Click the Backup/Restore tab. Click the Restore button to access the Restore page. To access the appropriate backup page, select a button from the row across the top as follows.

Page 101: Updating The Firmware
Updating the Firmware When firmware upgrades are available, the image stored in Flash memory on the server can be easily updated over the network. In addition to the image currently being used, an alternate image of the firmware is also available on the server, in case an update fails in process.
Page 102: Downloading An Update
Downloading an Update When an updated version of the HP SureStore HD Server 4000 firmware is available on the HP web site, copy the image file to a directory on the HD Server. Updating the Server You must update the image on the server’s Flash memory from the file you downloaded to the directory on the server.
Page 103: Switching To The Backup Image
Switching to the Backup Image The server’s Flash memory stores two images of firmware. And once it has been updated with a new firmware image (as described in “Updating the Server” above), the versions may be different. In case of failure during an update, you can back up to an older version. It is also possible to toggle between the two images thereafter.
Page 104 After updating and then reverting to the alternative image, you may see on the Firmware Update page the following example: Current Firmware Version: A.00.00 Alternate Firmware Version: A.01.01 After updating to A.02.01, for example, and restarting, you would see on the Software Update page the following: Current Firmware Version: A.02.01 Alternate Firmware Version: A.00.00 Your new update would therefore replace the previous (backup)
