Installation Checklist - HP D2D Installation And Configuration Manual

1 Installation checklist

Before installing the unit you need the following information
What is the network configuration: DHCP or static, IPv4 or IPv6?
A 1Gb Ethernet network is required to connect to the Web Management Interface. If supported
on your appliance, will you be using other interfaces for data traffic, 10Gb Ethernet or FC?
What devices are you planning on using for backup (VTL and/or NAS) and will you be using
a Fibre Channel interface for VTL.
Are you planning to replicate and what is the replication strategy?
License information for replication and additional storage (unless this has been pre-configured)
Installation and Configuration checklist
Unpack the appliance and, for D2D4100 and D2D4300 Series, any expansion shelves that you are installing at
the same time.
Connect the appliance to the 1Gb network and power supply, and switch on the unit and any expansion shelves.
Discover the appliance IP address or configure static addressing.
If backing up to iSCSI VTL devices, install tape and library drivers and install iSCSI on the host.
Set up the Management network ports and configure any other interfaces you wish to use. If using 10Gb Ethernet
(HP D2D4300 Series only), configure and enable the 10Gb network ports. If using Fibre Channel, configure the
FC connection.
Enter licensing information on the Web Management Interface: for replication and additional storage, as required.
Use the Web Management Interface to check that the box has up-to-date software.
Use the Web Management Interface to configure appliance settings, such as date/time, email recipients, web
security SSL certificate, GUI password.
On the Web Management Interface create and configure the required VTL devices and NAS shares that will be
used for backup.
Configure your backup application to use these devices.
Configure replication on the Web Management Interface.
If required, configure housekeeping and replication blackout windows on the Web Management Interface.
At the end of configuration, use the Web Management Interface to save a copy of the configuration file.
You can access the iLO2 interface for further remote management capabilities. Ensure that the iLO2 port on the
rear of your StoreOnce Backup System is connected to the network and use the network address and
username/password on the supplied brown tag to access iLO2.
