    Web Management Interface. If you plan to use only NAS devices on the D2D, then only the Discovery step is required - driver installation and iSCSI setup can be skipped.

  • Page 23: Wizard Overview

    Wizard overview The Installation Wizard will automatically configure all the software components required for setup, connection and use of the HP StoreOnce Backup System. There are three main phases to the process: Discovery (mandatory) Install drivers (optional) iSCSI installation and configuration (optional) Discovery (mandatory) This step must be completed regardless of whether you plan to utilize Virtual Tape Library or NAS devices on the StoreOnce Backup System.

  • Page 24: Step 1: Discovering Your Storeonce Backup System (Mandatory)

    Use the Web Management Interface to manage the HP StoreOnce Backup System Devices can be modified or deleted, additional VTL and NAS devices can be created, and the StoreOnce Backup System itself can be managed and monitored using this interface. Simply type either the IP Address or the Network Name of the HP StoreOnce Backup System into the address bar of your web browser to access this interface.
  • Page 25 Console iLO–2 port IPv4 Discovery This can only be done via the Installation Wizard. The Wizard will poll to the network using the IPv4 protocol in an attempt to find all HP StoreOnce Backup Systems attached to the local subnet. This method will succeed in the vast majority of cases, but if it fails there will be two main reasons.

  • Page 26: Step 2: Installing Drivers (Optional)

    iLO2 port The iLO2 port on the rear of the HP StoreOnce Backup System provides an alternative means of connecting a keyboard and monitor to the system. The default Name, Administrator Login Name and Password for iLO2 access are provided on the StoreOnce Backup System and on a toe tag attached to it.

  • Page 27: Step 3: Microsoft Iscsi Initiator (Optional)

    This step only applies to Virtual Tape Libraries, if you plan to use Fibre Channel Tape Libraries or only NAS targets for backup on your D2D Backup System, this step can be skipped. The Microsoft iSCSI initiator is required to connect to any Virtual Tape Libraries created on the HP StoreOnce Backup System.

  • Page 28: Advanced Installation

    6 Advanced installation The Installation wizard is the recommended way to install the HP StoreOnce Backup System, but it is possible to install it manually. You may also need to run phases independently when troubleshooting. This section describes: Discovering the HP StoreOnce Backup System (mandatory) Manual driver installation (VTL only) iSCSI Initiator (VTL only) Discovering the HP StoreOnce Backup System (mandatory)
  • Page 29 NOTE: If the Discovery process does not find your appliance and you are accessing through a firewall, you may need to temporarily disable the firewall or open UDP ports 8105 and 8106 and retry. Beacon mode The HP StoreOnce Backup System supports a Beacon LED sequence, which helps a user identify which unit is being configured, if several are connected to the network.

  • Page 30: Using The System Console (Ipv4 And Ipv6)

    Using the system console (IPv4 and IPv6) If you do not use the Installation Wizard or your network configuration prevents the HP StoreOnce Backup System from being discovered, you can connect the system console directly to the unit in order to find out the IP address. NOTE: The system console is password protected.

  • Page 31: Using The Ilo2 Port

    Figure 23 System console screen (example shows HP D2D4106/41 12) Locate the IP address for the port(s) and make a note of it. In the web browser on the host machine, type in the IP address of the HP StoreOnce Backup System to connect to it.

    Web Management Interface. This enables the Initiator to log into the target device on the HP D2D and the target device to log into the Initiator. The authentication method supported on StoreOnce products is CHAP. It relies on a "secret" known only to the target and initiator.
  • Page 37 General tab and enter the appropriate string at the prompt. NOTE: IPSec Tunnel Mode is not currently supported on HP D2D products. Figure 29 CHAP secret The CHAP secret may be between 12 and 16 alphanumeric characters and should be exactly the same string as you enter on the Web Management interface in the Target CHAP Secret field on the Devices page on the Web Management Interface.
  • Page 38 Discovery tab Figure 30 Discovery tab (iSCSI) Click Add to enter target portals that will enable discovery of the device. Figure 31 Add target portal You must enter the IP address or fully qualified domain name of the HP StoreOnce Backup System (for example, myhpd2d.mydomain.com) to add it as a target portal for the host on the Discovery tab.
  • Page 39 NOTE: If you are using mutual CHAP authentication, you set up the details when you log on to the target. If you are using a dual port configuration, there will be two IP addresses in separate subnets for each device. The iSCSI initiator will return both IP addresses as possible login addresses. If the default choice does not work you can select a specific port.
  • Page 40 Figure 33 Advanced settings CHAP 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. You must also provide the Target User Name and Secret on the Devices page in the Web Management Interface.
