The HP StoreOnce Backup System

The HP StoreOnce VSA extends the StoreOnce portfolio with the agility and flexibility of StoreOnce
as a virtual appliance, removing the need to install dedicated hardware.
StoreOnce VSA delivers a flexible backup target for service providers and organizations with an
ITaaS (IT as a service) infrastructure; rapidly stand-up the StoreOnce VSA configured for up to
10TB of additional capacity, and retire it again when the capacity is no longer needed to regain
the resources for other uses. In multi-tenant environments, one StoreOnce VSA per tenant also
provides security of backup data between tenants.
Once installed and powered on, StoreOnce VSA is used by backup and recovery applications as
a backup target, in the same way as physical StoreOnce appliances and delivers the following
benefits:
Exceptional value: Install into an existing vSphere (v5.x) environment without the need for
specific hardware. The StoreOnce VSA is available to purchase by license, which includes
HP StoreOnce Catalyst support, for seamless data movement across the enterprise, and
Replication support, to enable it to be used as a replication target.
Easy to manage—locally: StoreOnce VSA can be managed using a local graphical interface
(GUI) or the StoreOnce Enterprise Manager application. The local GUI is the same, well
proven interface used to manage the HP StoreOnce Backup appliances and provides a
consistent experience for enterprise-wide deployments.
Easy to manage—across the enterprise: For users with multiple StoreOnce appliances and
multiple StoreOnce VSAs, StoreOnce Enterprise Manager (SEM) enables centralized
management. Through the centralized StoreOnce Enterprise Manager up to 400 combined
total StoreOnce physical appliances/virtual appliances can be managed across multiple sites.
As well as advanced monitoring, reporting, forecasting and trend analysis, HP StoreOnce
Enterprise Manager can be used to deploy and configure StoreOnce VSA appliances.
Rapid installation: Installation and configuration is simple and typically completed in less than
15 minutes—StoreOnce VSA can be deployed using either SEM or via a vSphere client.

Types of user account

There are two types of user account: admin and user. Two users, one for each account type, are
created automatically when the system is installed:
Administrator: This account allows authorized users to create and edit management and
StoreOnce functions via the GUI and CLI. The initial user name and login is Admin and admin,
