6 HP StoreOnce Catalyst functions The following StoreOnce Catalyst functions are available: • Viewing and managing StoreOnce Catalyst settings, StoreOnce Catalyst (page 81) • Viewing and managing Catalyst stores, Catalyst Stores (page 88) For general information about StoreOnce Catalyst see What is HP StoreOnce Catalyst (page 80). NOTE: With the current version of the software there are no equivalent CLI commands available for the tasks described in this section. IMPORTANT: If Catalyst operations need to take place through a firewall, the network administrator will need to open (TCP) ports 9387 (Command protocol) and 9388 (Data protocol) to allow the Catalyst traffic to pass to and from the HP StoreOnce Backup systems. Licensing requirements OST/Catalyst devices require a license to be used at both source and target - but do NOT require an additional replication license as well. OST 2.0 plug-in For supported Symantec backup products, a plug-in application is required on each backup application media server that will use the Catalyst functionality. This can be downloaded from the Software Storage section of your StoreOnce product's Download drivers and software page on http://www.hp.com/support/downloads. What is HP StoreOnce Catalyst HP StoreOnce Catalyst is a StoreOnce function that allows: • Backup applications to back up data to a target store on the HP StoreOnce Backup system. Deduplication may occur on the media server or on the HP StoreOnce Backup system. • Backup applications to copy jobs between HP StoreOnce Backup systems. All configuration is carried out from the backup application, which makes this an attractive alternative to using the replication function on the HP StoreOnce Backup system. This function requires a backup application that supports HP StoreOnce Catalyst. The HP OST 2.0 plugins should also be installed on any Media Servers that will be transferring data to the StoreOnce Backup system. Refer to http://www.hp.com/go/ebs for up-to-date details on supported applications. IMPORTANT: Much of the information that is displayed on the HP StoreOnce Catalyst pages is taken directly from the backup application. It is strongly recommended to give jobs and media server groupings names on the backup application that will also be meaningful when they are displayed in the StoreOnce Catalyst pages. Benefits of HP StoreOnce Catalyst • The backup application is in full control of its data for the full lifecycle of the backup data • The backup application has full visibility of all items and jobs on the HP StoreOnce Backup system • Deduplication can occur on either the media server or HP StoreOnce Backup system, which ensures efficient use of the available bandwidth • There is no limiting geometry, such as cartridges for VTL libraries 80 HP StoreOnce Catalyst functions

What is HP StoreOnce Catalyst
HP StoreOnce Catalyst is a StoreOnce function that allows:
•
Backup applications to back up data to a target store on the HP StoreOnce Backup system.
Deduplication may occur on the media server or on the HP StoreOnce Backup system.
•
Backup applications to copy jobs between HP StoreOnce Backup systems. All configuration
is carried out from the backup application, which makes this an attractive alternative to using
the replication function on the HP StoreOnce Backup system.
This function requires a backup application that supports HP StoreOnce Catalyst. The HP OST 2.0
plugins should also be installed on any Media Servers that will be transferring data to the StoreOnce
Backup system. Refer to

IMPORTANT:
Much of the information that is displayed on the HP StoreOnce Catalyst pages is
taken directly from the backup application. It is strongly recommended to give jobs and media
server groupings names on the backup application that will also be meaningful when they are
displayed in the StoreOnce Catalyst pages.
Benefits of HP StoreOnce Catalyst
•
The backup application is in full control of its data for the full lifecycle of the backup data
•
The backup application has full visibility of all items and jobs on the HP StoreOnce Backup
system
