This ensures good backup performance. However, only the backup server can be backed up; other devices on the network must be configured as clients that back up to the designated backup server over the business network, which may impact performance. PC Switch Server Server LAN Storage Server Supplied cable HP StorageWorks D2D Backup System Figure 9 Connecting to a network server This configuration, illustrated in Figure 9 on page 26, requires a spare Gigabit network port or card on the storage server to support the direct connection to the HP D2D Backup System. Use the cable supplied with the HP D2D Backup System to connect to the Gigabit network card on the server. NOTE: If the server has a 10/100 Base-T network card, you will need a cross-over network cable (not supplied). A better solution, to ensure optimum performance, is to purchase and install a Gigabit network card. Software installation, discovery and configuration There are three stages to installation: • Install all the required drivers • Discover the HP D2D Backup System on the network, give it a name and, if DHCP is not supported, assign network settings • Create a base configuration to get started Dynamic (DHCP) addressing is enabled by default on the HP D2D Backup System. If your network supports DHCP, all the required network parameters will be assigned automatically. If your network uses static IP addressing, you will need to assign network settings manually (IP address, subnet mask and gateway). For Windows users, the recommended way to set up the HP D2D Backup System network is to run the Installation wizard from the HP StorageWorks CD-ROM, as described in "Installation wizard" on page 39. Linux users should download the latest patches for their operating system and refer to the "Linux Configuration Guide" on the HP StorageWorks CD-ROM for configuration instructions. Recommended web browser settings The web browser used to communicate with the D2D Backup System must have Active Scripting or JAVA scripting enabled. If it does not, some of the browser buttons may not be displayed. 26 Connecting and installing the HP D2D Backup System
