No configuration is required on the Bound Volumes/Devices tab.

Fibre Channel configuration

Backup and restore is supported over both Ethernet networks and Fibre Channel SAN. However,
the Web Management Interface always requires an Ethernet connection. When using FC to back
up hosts, you should still run the Installation wizard to connect to and discover your HP StoreOnce
Backup System and must still connect to:
HP D2D4300 Series: LAN port 3
HP D2D4100 Series: LAN port 1

Fibre Channel connection

The HP StoreOnce Backup System is supplied with the correct FC card pre-installed. It does not
include FC cables.
1. Connect to the appropriate LAN port.
2. Use a FC Multimode 50/125 (preferred) or 62.5/125 cable to connect the port(s) on the FC
card in the HP StoreOnce Backup System to the Fibre Channel Switch.
3. The switch must have a multi-mode transceiver that supports speeds of:
HP D2D4300 Series: 8Gbs (preferred), 4Gbs or 2Gbs
HP D2D4100 Series: 4Gbs (preferred) or 2Gbs
4. Run the Installation wizard , as described in this guide.
5. Run the Web Management Interface and create at least one library device. Be sure to select
one of the FC ports in the Port drop-down. For information about the other fields, see the HP
StoreOnce Backup System User Guide or online Help.
6. Configure zones on the FC Fabric/Switch, if required. (See next section.)
7. The library device(s) should now be visible to the host. It may be necessary to perform a system
re-scan.

Zoning

Zoning is only required if a switched fabric topology is used.
