NOTE: With some versions of Windows the iSCSI initiator service is not started by default. This component must be configured manually by the user to run on startup. Do this through the Control Panel. Figure 27 iSCSI Initiator download page for Windows 1,ia 64 2, x 64 3, x86 Use with ia-64 processors, such as Itanium and HP Integrity. Use with x86-64 processors, such as AMD64 and Intel 64 Use with 32-bit processors or 64-bit processors running 32-bit Windows, such as Windows XP and Server 2003. If you download the wrong version, it will not install. The simplest way of ensuring you download the correct version is to run the Installation wizard from the HP StoreOnce Backup System CD-ROM because it automatically checks which is the appropriate version for your host. NOTE: Microsoft operating systems released since Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista include the Microsoft iSCSI initiator. It can be run from the Control Panel in Classic Mode. Manual iSCSI initiator installation 1. On a machine that supports an external internet connection, go to the Microsoft website and search on iSCSI initiator. 2. Select the result that takes you to the Download page and choose the download that is appropriate for your host. 3. Download the iSCSI initiator and install it on the host, accepting all the default settings. The iSCSI Initiator and Authentication Authentication is not required for the HP StoreOnce Backup System, but it is supported for those companies that have an IT policy that requires them to use authentication. If this is the case, you will need to configure the necessary fields on the iSCSI Initiator and also ensure that the corresponding information is supplied in the Web Management Interface. This enables the Initiator to log into the target device on the HP D2D and the target device to log into the Initiator. The authentication method supported on StoreOnce products is CHAP. It relies on a "secret" known only to the target and initiator. The size of the CHAP secret is between 12 and 16 characters, and must be entered in exactly the same format in both the Web Management Interface and the iSCSI initiator. An 'Authentication Failure' message will occur if the same 'secret' and 'user name' information are not entered into the iSCSI Initiator screen and the Web Management Interface. Further details on authentication and CHAP can be found within standard iSCSI protocol documentation. The recommended process if you wish to enable authentication is: iSCSI Initiator (optional, VTL only) 35

Authentication is not required for the HP StoreOnce Backup System, but it is supported for those

will need to configure the necessary fields on the iSCSI Initiator and also ensure that the
corresponding information is supplied in the Web Management Interface. This enables the Initiator

only to the target and initiator. The size of the CHAP secret is between 12 and 16 characters, and
must be entered in exactly the same format in both the Web Management Interface and the iSCSI
