Step 1: Discovering Your Storeonce Backup System (Mandatory) - HP D2D Installation And Configuration Manual

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. The default Network Name is shown
on a label on the top (or side) of the HP StoreOnce Backup System.

Step 1: Discovering your StoreOnce Backup System (mandatory)

The Discovery process is important because it locates your HP StoreOnce Backup System on your
network and assigns important network settings, such as the IP address.
By default, DHCP is enabled on the HP StoreOnce Backup System.
If DHCP is supported on your network, all the required parameters will be configured
automatically.
If your network infrastructure does not support DHCP, it must be turned off on the StoreOnce
Backup System using the Discovery step of the Wizard. In this case key network settings must
be assigned manually.
NOTE: When installing the HP StoreOnce Backup System for the first time and DHCP is not
supported on your network, the Discovery step of the Wizard must be completed successfully before
the Installation process can succeed.
If DHCP is supported, it is recommended that once an IP address has been assigned, the System
Administrator should permanently associate that IP address with the StoreOnce Backup System.
This will avoid any problems with the IP address of the device changing over reboots.
The Installation Wizard connects to the StoreOnce Backup System using IP address rather than
name, so if the IP address is changed subsequently (by DHCP), the connection will be broken and
will have to be manually re-established using the Web Management Interface on the device and
the iSCSI initiator on the host machine.
If DHCP is not supported on your network, there are three cases where use of the Discovery feature
is the only way to locate and configure the HP StoreOnce Backup System on your network.
1. The HP StoreOnce Backup System is new and is, therefore, unconfigured.
2. The HP StoreOnce Backup System has been wrongly configured and cannot be seen by the
Web Management interface.
3. The HP StoreOnce Backup System has been moved to a new subnet, or network infrastructure
changes have occurred without first updating the HP StoreOnce Backup System network
settings. The device is no longer visible to the Web Management Interface.
In these cases, the Discovery feature can be run as a stand-alone step from the main menu of the
CD-ROM.
NOTE: You may need to disable any firewall software temporarily in order for Discovery to work.
NOTE: Where the HP StoreOnce Backup System has multiple network ports, LAN port 3 (HP
D2D4300 Series only) or LAN port 1 (all other HP StoreOnce Backup Systems) should be connected
to your network when carrying out discovery. Using discovery for re-configuration of an HP
StoreOnce Backup System will result in the unit dropping into Single Port mode.
There are four methods of configuring the HP StoreOnce Backup System on the network.
IPv4 Discovery
IPv6 Discovery
