Supported Ethernet configurations

The HP StoreOnce Backup system supports a wide range of network configurations. The following
list provides an overview of configuration details. See
concepts (page 30)
to the latest release notes to find out if there are any configuration combinations that require specific
attention.
An Ethernet connection is required for backing up to iSCSI VTL devices, for replication and
StoreOnce Catalyst Copy activities, and for all StoreOnce management tasks. It is also required
if you wish to backup to NAS shares and StoreOnce Catalyst stores across ethernet.
The HP StoreOnce Backup system supports IPv4 and IPv6. IPv4 supports all target backup
devices and StoreOnce management tasks; IPv6 supports StoreOnce Catalyst target devices
only and StoreOnce management tasks using the StoreOnce GUI and CLI.
NOTE:
for NAS Shares.
The HP StoreOnce Backup system may be connected to a virtual LAN and supports VLAN
tagging.
DHCP and static IP addressing are supported.
NOTE:
Network Administrator should permanently associate that IP address with the StoreOnce
Backup system. This association prevents the IP address of the device changing after reboots.
