Deployment choices
The very first deployment choice is how to use the external networking and Fibre Channel
connections that the B6200 Enterprise StoreOnce Backup System presents.
All GbE network connections are for NAS devices, replication and device management, and
are bonded pairs to provide resiliency. There are 2 x 10 GbE ports and 4 x 1GbE ports on
each node. See
Network configuration in multi-node StoreOnce Backup systems (page 36)
for more details.
The Fibre Channel connections (2 x 8 Gbs) are for VTL devices and MUST be connected to
a Fibre Channel switch; direct FC Connect is not supported. The switch MUST support NPIV
for the FC failover process to work. See
Configuring FC to support failover with the HP
StoreOnce B6200 Backup system (page 47)
for more details.
The following diagram illustrates network and Fibre Channel external connections to a two-rack
system.
