Reconnecting to the to iSCSI VTL devices after host failure, Computer Name, Initiator Node Name

Page 112 highlights

Reconnecting to the to iSCSI VTL devices after host failure Each configured library or tape drive on the HP StoreOnce Backup System is uniquely mapped to a host. It cannot be seen by any other host on the network. If the host system fails, you must replace it and reconfigure the mapping of the host to the configured backup device on the HP StoreOnce Backup System. 1. Install the operating system on the host. If possible, give the host the same Computer Name as the host that failed. 2. Install the backup application on the host. 3. Run the iSCSI Initiator on the restored host. (See also the HP StoreOnce Backup System Installation and Configuration Guide.) 4. Make a note of the Initiator Node Name (this can be found on the General tab on the Microsoft iSCSI initiator). 5. Modify the target library to see the new machine name of the restored host. Select the Devices page on the Web Management Interface, and put the target library into Edit mode. Copy the host's Initiator Node Name (found on the General tab in step 4 ) into iSCSI Initiator Name. NOTE: If you have used the Secret option on the iSCSI Initiator to enter an authentication string, you must enter the same information on the Web Management Interface. See iSCSI (Status) (page 55). 6. On the Discovery tab, enter the IP address of the HP StoreOnce Backup System to add it as a target portal for the host. Do not change the Port; it should be 3260. 112 Restore processes without replication

Reconnecting to the to iSCSI VTL devices after host failure
Each configured library or tape drive on the HP StoreOnce Backup System is uniquely mapped to
a host. It cannot be seen by any other host on the network. If the host system fails, you must replace
it and reconfigure the mapping of the host to the configured backup device on the HP StoreOnce
Backup System.
1.
Install the operating system on the host. If possible, give the host the same
Computer Name
as the host that failed.
2.
Install the backup application on the host.
3.
Run the iSCSI Initiator on the restored host. (See also the
HP StoreOnce Backup System
Installation and Configuration Guide
.)
4.
Make a note of the
Initiator Node Name
(this can be found on the General tab on the Microsoft
iSCSI initiator).
5.
Modify the target library to see the new machine name of the restored host. Select the Devices
page on the Web Management Interface, and put the target library into Edit mode. Copy the
host’s Initiator Node Name (found on the General tab in step 4 ) into
iSCSI Initiator Name
.
NOTE:
If you have used the
Secret
option on the iSCSI Initiator to enter an authentication
string, you must enter the same information on the Web Management Interface. See
iSCSI
(Status) (page 55)
.
6.
On the Discovery tab, enter the IP address of the HP StoreOnce Backup System to add it as
a target portal for the host. Do not change the Port; it should be 3260.
