Option 1: HP StoreOnce Backup system on Corporate SAN and Network SAN In this option, the StoreOnce device has a port in the Corporate SAN which has access to the Active Directory Domain Controller. This link is then used to authenticate CIFS share access. The port(s) on the Network SAN are used to transfer the actual data. This configuration is relatively simple to configure: • On StoreOnce devices with only 1GbE ports: Two subnets should be configured with one port in each. The ports are connected and configured for either the Corporate LAN or Network SAN. In this case one data port is "lost" for authentication traffic, so this solution will not provide optimal performance. • On StoreOnce devices with both 10GbE and 1GbE ports: the 10GbE ports can be configured in a bonded network mode and configured for access to the Network SAN. One or both of the 1GbE ports can then be connected to the Corporate LAN for authentication traffic. In this case optimal performance can be maintained - see below. The backup application media server also needs network connections into both the Corporate LAN and Network SAN.

Option 1: HP StoreOnce Backup system on Corporate SAN and Network SAN
In this option, the StoreOnce device has a port in the Corporate SAN which has access to the
Active Directory Domain Controller. This link is then used to authenticate CIFS share access.
The port(s) on the Network SAN are used to transfer the actual data.
This configuration is relatively simple to configure:
On StoreOnce devices with only 1GbE ports: Two subnets should be configured with one port
in each. The ports are connected and configured for either the Corporate LAN or Network
SAN. In this case one data port is “lost” for authentication traffic, so this solution will not
provide optimal performance.
On StoreOnce devices with both 10GbE and 1GbE ports: the 10GbE ports can be configured
in a bonded network mode and configured for access to the Network SAN. One or both of
the 1GbE ports can then be connected to the Corporate LAN for authentication traffic. In this
case optimal performance can be maintained – see below.
The backup application media server also needs network connections into both the Corporate LAN
and Network SAN.
