The physical network ports provide three network configuration modes. • Single Port Configuration: The HP StoreOnce Backup system is connected to one network; only one network port is used (Port 1). • Multiple subnet Configuration: The HP StoreOnce Backup system is connected to different networks. Two or more network ports are used. • High Availability (Bonded) Configuration: Multiple network ports are used, but the ports are bonded to provide port failover. This mode can also provide load balancing across network ports. The default network configuration is single port with DHCP enabled. This can be amended after installation using StoreOnce CLI net config commands. If multiple subnet configuration is required, the networks must be on different sub-nets. The High Availability mode is the recommended option, because it provides port failover, but bonded network ports must be connected to the same switch and the switch must support port bonding. If you select the high availability bonded network mode, the bonded ports must be of the same speed. You can bond a 1GbE network port with the other 1GbE network port, and you can bond a 10GbE network port with the other 10GbE network port, but you cannot bond a 1GbE network port with a 10GbE network port. Three bonding modes are available: Mode 1, Mode 4 and Mode 6. Take care to choose the network bonding mode appropriate for your network environment and switch capability. For further information please refer to the Installation and Configuration Guide and the HP StoreOnce CLI Reference Guide on the CD. Connecting to a Fibre Channel SAN The HP StoreOnce Backup system is supplied with two FC cards pre-installed. However, you must still connect the HP StoreOnce Backup system to an Ethernet network in order to use the StoreOnce CLI interface. Please note that devices created on the HP StoreOnce Backup system can be accessed by all hosts on the SAN unless you configure zones on the Fibre Channel Fabric/Switch. C M Y CM MY 5 Power on CY CMY 1. Power on all installed Capacity Kits first. You may need to hold down the power on K button (on the rear of each unit) for a few seconds. Capacity Kit (rear view) Power off To power off your HP StoreOnce Backup system always use the StoreOnce CLI commands, as described in the HP StoreOnce CLI Reference Guide on the HP StoreOnce Backup CD. CAUTION: If you need to power down the Capacity Kits, make sure the HP StoreOnce Backup system is powered down first. This ensures that the system does not erroneously mark the drives as failed when the HP StoreOnce Backup system is powered up again. To power off the Capacity Kits, press the Power On button (on each unit) and wait for the system power LED to go from green to amber. NOTE: When installing/replacing a hot-plug device, it is not necessary to power down the units. 6 Using the StoreOnce Backup system User accounts and passwords Two types of user account are set up automatically when the system is installed: • Administrator: Allows authorized users to create and edit management and StoreOnce functions. They can also create and manage users. User name = Admin; password = admin. • Operator: Provides limited access for monitoring and viewing. User name = Operator; password = operator. Names and passwords are case sensitive. Accessing the StoreOnce Backup system The StoreOnce Web Management Console is the main interface for: • Monitoring the status and health of the HP StoreOnce Backup system and all configured backup devices • Creating and modifying VTL and NAS StoreOnce backup targets and Catalyst stores • Managing replication relationships and housekeeping Understanding the LEDs HP StoreOnce Backup system Item Description Status 1 System health LED Green = Normal operation Flashing amber = Degraded condition Flashing red = Critical condition 2 NIC status LED Off = no network connection or network not configured Steady green = network connected Flashing green = network activity 3 Power button LED Off = no power connected Steady green = power connected, device ready for use Flashing green = performing power on sequence Steady amber = device switched off or in hibernation with power connected 4 UID button/LED Steady blue identifies the HP StoreOnce Backup system in the rack Capacity Kit (optional) 7 Troubleshooting and other sources of information For troubleshooting information, refer to the guides on the HP StoreOnce Backup system CD. These guides also contain reference information about iSCSI andRAID. If you cannot resolve problems, contact HP Support at www.hp.com/support.

In the Storage section, click Storage Solutions and then select your product. 1 Power On button 2. Power on the HP StoreOnce Backup system (the power button is on the front of the unit). HP StoreOnce Backup system (front view) 1 Power On button 3. As long as DHCP is enabled on the network, the appliance should now be accessible across the network. If it is not enabled, you must use StoreOnce CLI commands to configure the appliance on the network. StoreOnce CLI Management Console The StoreOnce Command Line Interface (CLI) provides an alternative way of administering and monitoring the system. Some tasks, such as network and storage configuration, can be carried out only from the StoreOnce CLI. StoreOnce CLI commands must be run from an SSH terminal session and require an SSH client application (freely available from the internet) running on the management console. See the HP StoreOnce CLI Reference Guide for more information. Accessing the StoreOnce Web Management Console If DHCP is enabled on your network, simply connect to the Web Management Console or StoreOnce CLI from any machine connected to the network using the default host name printed on the top of the appliance. Enter your user name and password. Web: https: or StoreOnce CLI: ssh @ If DHCP is not enabled on your network, connect a console to the monitor and keyboard ports on the rear of the appliance and log in to the StoreOnce CLI to configure the appliance on the network. See the HP StoreOnce Installation and Configuration Guide for more information. NOTE: If you will be configuring Virtual Tape Library devices as backup targets, install all the required Tape drivers on backup servers and ensure the backup server is running software that supports HP Tape libraries. Tape drivers can be found on the StoreOnce Backup CD. Drivers are not needed for NAS Share and Catalyst Store backup targets.
