Step 3: Microsoft iSCSI initiator (optional) This step only applies to Virtual Tape Libraries, if you plan to use Fibre Channel Tape Libraries or only NAS targets for backup on your D2D Backup System, this step can be skipped. The Microsoft iSCSI initiator is required to connect to any Virtual Tape Libraries created on the HP StoreOnce Backup System. The iSCSI initiator ships with later versions of Microsoft Windows, but not with XP/2003 or earlier. NOTE: With some versions of Windows the iSCSI initiator service is not started by default. This component must be configured manually by the user to run on startup. Do this through the Control Panel. HP is not permitted to include the iSCSI initiator on the CD. So, if required, it must be retrieved from the Microsoft website. This is best done by carrying out a search for "iSCSI initiator" on the Microsoft website, selecting the required OS version and choosing "Run" rather than "Save" when presented with download options. ( There is a different version of the iSCSI initiator for the three different versions of Windows; x86, ia-64, and amd64 (or Intel EM64T). ) When running the iSCSI initiator installation process, accept all the default settings. Without the Microsoft iSCSI initiator a host machine will not be able to connect to the HP StoreOnce Backup System and perform backups to Virtual Tape Libraries. If the Installation Wizard is unable to connect to the HP StoreOnce Backup System via the iSCSI initiator, check the following. 1. Check that the HP StoreOnce Backup System and this host machine are still connected to the network. 2. Check that the iSCSI initiator installed correctly. An icon should have been placed on your desktop. Refer to The Microsoft iSCSI Initiator (page 36) for more information. Step 3: Microsoft iSCSI initiator (optional) 27
