technology (HP StoreOnce). The HP StoreOnce B6000 adds resilience and extends the capacity of the HP StoreOnce appliance family. The HP B6200 system is composed of 1 to 4 couplets (the size depends on the customer-specific configuration).

A single-couplet configuration has two service sets. This is the minimum configuration. If more couplets are installed there will be more service sets, two for each couplet. The following example shows a configuration with eight service sets. This means that it has four couplets. 12 B6200 StoreOnce - HP StoreOnce B6000 | HP B6000 StoreOnce Backup System user guide - Page 13
The auto-configuration process registers and starts a service set by launching a process on the server for each of the services.

B6000 Series Backup System user guide
Abstract
This is the user guide for the HP B6000 StoreOnce Backup System. It describes all tasks that can be carried out by an
administrator or operator from the B6000 Web Management Console (GUI). Some of these tasks may also be carried out from
the Command Line Interface (CLI) and the appropriate commands are included in this guide. This guide does not describe all
tasks that can only be carried out from the CLI.
The English version that is available in PDF format on the web at launch may have later updates. Localized versions (in PDF
format) will also be available shortly after launch. Always check
