Page 5: Introduction
1 Introduction Overview HP StoreOnce Backup Systems are a family disk-based storage appliance for backing up host network servers or PCs to target devices on the appliance. These devices are configured as either Network-Attached Storage (NAS) or Virtual Tape Library (VTL) targets for backup applications. The total number of “devices”... -
Page 6: Discovery
2 Discovery Overview The HP StoreOnce Backup System must be assigned an IP address before an iSCSI connection or access to the Web Management Interface can be made. If your product has been installed by HP Engineers, this configuration will have been carried out. Go to Chapter 3. -
Page 7: To Identify The Required Device
NOTE: If no HP StoreOnce Backup Systems are discovered, ensure that UDP port 8106 is open in any firewalls that are running. To identify the required device If you have multiple HP StoreOnce Backup Systems on the network you can use the Beacon button to help identify the unit that you wish to configure. - Page 8 Enter the network details and click Configure to send the details to the HP StoreOnce Backup System. The list of available HP StoreOnce Backup System on the network will be displayed again, this time with the updated network settings shown. Make a note of the IP address of the HP StoreOnce Backup System because it will be required during iSCSI configuration.
