Wizard overview The Installation Wizard will automatically configure all the software components required for setup, connection and use of the HP StoreOnce Backup System. There are three main phases to the process: • Discovery (mandatory) • Install drivers (optional) • iSCSI installation and configuration (optional) Discovery (mandatory) This step must be completed regardless of whether you plan to utilize Virtual Tape Library or NAS devices on the StoreOnce Backup System. It will allow you to locate your HP StoreOnce Backup System on the network and configure network settings. DHCP is enabled by default on the HP StoreOnce Backup System. You can use DHCP to automatically assign network settings to the device, or you can manually configure IP address and other parameters. If your network does not support DHCP and you plan to manually set network parameters, you should have this information ready before proceeding. When assigning settings manually, the required information is: • Hostname for the device e.g. D2DSystem1 • An IP Address for the device e.g. 192.168.1.50 • Subnet Mask e.g. 255.255.255.0 • Default Gateway (address of the server or router which provides external network connection) e.g. 192.168.1.1 Optional information is: • Domain Name (domain extension for the device) e.g. hp.com • DNS server addresses (address of the server which translates hostnames to IP addresses) e.g 192.168.1.1 Install drivers (optional) This step can be skipped if you plan to only use NAS targets for Backup on the StoreOnce Backup System. These drivers will allow your system to recognize the Tape Drives within Virtual Tape Library devices created on the HP StoreOnce Backup System. These drivers are the same as those provided for HP StorageWorks Ultrium tape drives. The installer will replace any previously installed drivers and may overwrite any drivers supplied by backup software that is already installed. In this case other drivers must be reinstalled manually once the Installation Wizard has completed. iSCSI installation and configuration (optional) If required, this step allows you to download the Microsoft iSCSI initiator from the Microsoft website. (Download is only required for versions of Windows up to and including XP/2003, beyond this the iSCSI initiator ships with the OS). If an iSCSI connection is made, a default device will be created on the StoreOnce Backup System. This functionality (Auto device creation on connection) can be turned off using the Web Management Interface. Once it has been assigned network settings, the HP StoreOnce Backup System is ready to use. All the required software components will be installed on this host machine - not the HP StoreOnce Backup System. Wizard overview 23

Wizard overview
The Installation Wizard will automatically configure all the software components required for setup,
connection and use of the HP StoreOnce Backup System.
There are three main phases to the process:
•
Discovery (mandatory)
•
Install drivers (optional)
•
iSCSI installation and configuration (optional)
Discovery (mandatory)
This step must be completed regardless of whether you plan to utilize Virtual Tape Library or NAS
devices on the StoreOnce Backup System. It will allow you to locate your HP StoreOnce Backup
System on the network and configure network settings.
DHCP is enabled by default on the HP StoreOnce Backup System. You can use DHCP to
automatically assign network settings to the device, or you can manually configure IP address and
other parameters. If your network does not support DHCP and you plan to manually set network
parameters, you should have this information ready before proceeding.
When assigning settings manually, the required information is:
•
Hostname for the device e.g. D2DSystem1
•
An IP Address for the device e.g. 192.168.1.50
•
Subnet Mask e.g. 255.255.255.0
•
Default Gateway (address of the server or router which provides external network connection)
e.g. 192.168.1.1
Optional information is:
•
Domain Name (domain extension for the device) e.g. hp.com
•
DNS server addresses (address of the server which translates hostnames to IP addresses) e.g
192.168.1.1
Install drivers (optional)
This step can be skipped if you plan to only use NAS targets for Backup on the StoreOnce Backup
System.
These drivers will allow your system to recognize the Tape Drives within Virtual Tape Library devices
created on the HP StoreOnce Backup System. These drivers are the same as those provided for
HP StorageWorks Ultrium tape drives. The installer will replace any previously installed drivers
and may overwrite any drivers supplied by backup software that is already installed. In this case
other drivers must be reinstalled manually once the Installation Wizard has completed.
iSCSI installation and configuration (optional)
If required, this step allows you to download the Microsoft iSCSI initiator from the Microsoft website.
(Download is only required for versions of Windows up to and including XP/2003, beyond this
the iSCSI initiator ships with the OS).
If an iSCSI connection is made, a default device will be created on the StoreOnce Backup System.
This functionality (Auto device creation on connection) can be turned off using the Web Management
Interface.
Once it has been assigned network settings, the HP StoreOnce Backup System is ready to use.
All the required software components will be installed on this host machine - not the HP StoreOnce
Backup System.
