HP D2D120 HP StorageWorks D2D 100 Backup System Setup Poster (EH880-90945, Oct - Page 2

3 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 and, if DHCP is not supported, assign network settings. • Create a base configuration to get started. Dynamic (DHCP) network addressing is enabled by default on the HP D2D. If your network supports DHCP, all the required network parameters will be set automatically. If your network uses static IP addressing, you will need to manually assign network settings - IP address, subnet mask and gateway. Make sure that you have these ready before you start installation. Windows users: The recommended way to set up your HP D2D Backup System network is to run the Installation wizard from the HP StorageWorks CD-ROM supplied with your product. The Installation wizard can be run on all hosts that are to be backed up to the HP D2D Backup System. 1. Power on your HP D2D Backup System. (The power button is on the front of the unit.) 2. Insert the CD-ROM into the host machine and the Installation wizard will auto run. In most instances the installation completes all three stages detailed above successfully. For more detailed information about what happens during each stage and about iSCSI, please refer to the "User Guide" on the HP StorageWorks CD-ROM. 3. Run the Installation wizard on the other hosts that are to be backed up - up to a maximum of six. Linux users: Download the latest patches for your operating system. For configuration instructions, please refer to the "Linux Configuration Guide" on the HP StorageWorks CD-ROM. 4 Web Management Interface To run the Web Management Interface: • From a Windows host server or PC: Use the desktop shortcut created by the Installation wizard. • From any machine connected to the network: Enter the IP address or name of the HP D2D Backup System into the web browser. The default Sign On is Administrator with a password of Admin. Both names are case sensitive. (The password can be changed after installation.) 6 Backup software For backup and restore to the HP D2D Backup System, you need software that supports HP tape autoloaders. This will enable you to configure tape rotation schemes to meet your backup requirements. For example scenarios see the "User Guide" on the HP StorageWorks CD-ROM. Always refer to www.hp.com/go/connect, to ensure that you are running supported software and install any recommended updates. • A separate CD-ROM, containing HP Data Protector Express software, is supplied with your HP D2D Backup System. If you wish to use this backup software, install it now. • HP D2D Backup System may also be used with the major backup applications from HP, Symantec, EMC and Computer Associates. NOTE: The "Windows Backup" utility that comes as part of the Windows Operating System is not supported for use with HP D2D Backup System. 7 Transferring data to tape There are two ways of moving data from the HP D2D Backup System to physical tape for offsite storage: • Attach an HP Ultrium tape drive directly to the HP D2D Backup System • Attach a supported tape drive to a host machine on the storage network Tape drive attached to HP D2D Two methods are provided for archiving data directly to an attached tape drive; these are Copy and Export. • Copy retains the data cartridge on the HP D2D Backup System and creates an exact copy onto a physical cartridge in the attached tape drive. • Export removes the data cartridge from the autoloader on the HP D2D Backup System once data has been successfully copied to the physical cartridge in the attached tape drive. Each method has advantages and disadvantages, as described in the "HP D2D Backup System User Guide" on the CD-ROM. However, as a general recommendation, Copy is the easier of the two options to use because it does not remove data from the HP D2D Backup System and can be managed completely from the Web Management Interface. Export (and Import) require additional steps in the backup application. Only use the Export option, if you need to free up some disk space on the HP D2D Backup System. Tape drive attached to host Tape drives can also be connected to other host machines on the storage network. It is then possible to use the backup application to offload data to tape. For this to work the backup application must support the copying of data between devices. NOTE: For further information about both methods, please refer to the "HP D2D Backup System User Guide" on the CD-ROM. 8 Understanding the LEDs The device created during installation will appear to the backup software on your host server or PC as a locally-attached backup device. This backup device can be seen only by the host and not by any other devices on the network. Use the Web Management Interface to: • Monitor the status and health of the HP D2D Backup System and all configured backup devices. • Change the number of cartridge slots or create additional autoloaders, or stand-alone tape drives, for a host. • Manage movement of data to and from a physical Tape Drive attached to the HP D2D (if one has been installed). NOTE: To power off your HP D2D Backup System always use the Web Management Interface, as described in the "User Guide" on the HP StorageWorks CD-ROM. 5 Troubleshooting Detailed help is available while running the Installation wizard. If you encounter problems during any of the the installation phases, it will advise you what steps to take. For more troubleshooting information, refer to the "User Guide" on the HP StorageWorks CD-ROM. This guide also contains reference information about iSCSI and RAID. If you cannot resolve problems, contact HP Support at www.hp.com/support. For the latest information about computer, OS and software compatibility, see www.hp.com/go/connect. During power on the LEDs will perform a self test sequence, all LEDs with the exception of the status LED will then be extinguished until the boot sequence is completed. 1. Disk Activity LED Flashing Green = Disk activity in progress. 2. Disk Status LED Solid Green = All disks are working correctly. Flashing Orange = A disk has failed. 3. Disk Capacity LED Solid Green = Normal operation and disk space is available. Solid Orange = Disk threshold capacity exceeded, device is nearly full. 4. Status LED Solid Green = System is booted and operating normally. Flashing Green = System is powering up or shutting down. Flashing Orange = System has failed. 5. Network LED Off = No network connection or network not configured Solid Green = A Gigabit Ethernet connection is made. Solid Orange = A 10/100Base-T connection is made. 6. Power LED Solid Green = Power on. Beacon Mode This is selected from the Web Management Interface. It flashes all LEDs. Firmware Upgrade During a firmware upgrade all LEDs apart from the Power LED flash with an alternate green and orange.
