you simply need the IP address of the appliance. • For replication targets on an HP VSA Backup system, there is only one service set similar to a single node appliance. There are two virtual NICs supported, meaning you can have a maximum of two IP addresses for the VSA.

NOTE: If the mapping has been broken there will be an entry that says Non-replicating share (instead of Replication Target). 7. At the Edit Share Mapping step, either adopt the mapping that - HP D2D4009fc | HP StoreOnce VSA user guide (TC458-96002, July 2013) - Page 76
to run reverse replication. 9. As soon as reverse replication has completed, the data may be recovered to the host using the original backup application. 10. New backups can now run to the Source Appliance and replication will run normally without further configuration. 76 Replication functions - HP D2D4009fc | HP StoreOnce VSA user guide (TC458-96002, July 2013) - Page 77

application, which makes this an attractive alternative to using the replication function on the HP StoreOnce Backup system. This function requires a backup application that supports HP StoreOnce Catalyst. The HP OST 2.0 plugins should also be installed on any Media Servers that will be transferring - HP D2D4009fc | HP StoreOnce VSA user guide (TC458-96002, July 2013) - Page 81
, a low bandwidth network link is adequate. If the media server sends all the data and deduplication is carried out on the HP StoreOnce Backup system, a high bandwidth network link is required. The combined CPU power of multiple media servers and the reduced network traffic means that it is often - HP D2D4009fc | HP StoreOnce VSA user guide (TC458-96002, July 2013) - Page 82

and it will optimize the queuing and running of jobs based on the resources available. If the Data job count starts getting high, the HP StoreOnce Backup system is being loaded quite heavily. You may see jobs failing to start or running slowly (although the aggregate performance across the many jobs - HP D2D4009fc | HP StoreOnce VSA user guide (TC458-96002, July 2013) - Page 84
need to open (TCP) ports 9387 (Command protocol) and 9388 (Data protocol) to allow the Catalyst traffic to pass to and from the HP StoreOnce Backup systems.

HP StoreOnce
VSA Backup system user guide
Abstract
This is the user guide for the HP StoreOnce VSA Backup system. It describes all tasks that can be carried out by an administrator
or operator from the Web Management Console (GUI). Some of these tasks may also be carried out from the StoreOnce
Command Line Interface (CLI) and the some of those commands are included in this guide. This guide does not describe all
tasks that can only be carried out from the StoreOnce CLI and/or the HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager (SEM) GUI.
