1 About your HP StoreOnce Backup system The HP StoreOnce Backup system is a disk-based storage appliance for backing up host network servers or PCs to target devices on the appliance. These devices are configured as NAS Share, Virtual Tape Library or StoreOnce Catalyst Store targets for backup applications. To find out which backup applications are compatible with HP StoreOnce functions go to www.hp.com/go/ebs. TIP: To find out more about configuring and using NAS target devices, FC and iSCSI virtual tape libraries and Catalyst Stores, see the HP StoreOnce Backup system User Guide on the CD-ROM.
HP StoreOnce Backup system Capacity Kit The Capacity Kit is a 12-disk expansion model. One expansion shelf must be installed at the same time as the head unit. Up to seven further expansion shelves may be installed at the same time or added later. A license is always required for the Capacity upgrade and is included with the kit. • The HP StoreOnce Backup system is scalable from 12 to 96 disks. Up to eight 12-disk shelves may be connected to the head unit (which contains operating system disks only).
The following drawing illustrates how up to four expansion models may be added. For more information about adding multiple expansion models and alternative cabling options, see the HP StoreOnce 4500/4700 Backup Capacity Kit Guide supplied with the Capacity Kit.
4 Connect the hardware
1. Always use the supplied power cords to connect the HP StoreOnce Backup system to the mains power supply. For detailed safety information, see the Safety Guide on the CD-ROM.
Cabling for four Capacity Kits
2. Use any CAT-5E or CAT-6 network cable (also supplied with the product) to connect the 1GbE network Port 1 to a 1 Gigabit Ethernet network. There are four physical 1GbE network ports on the rear of the unit, Port 1, Port 2, Port 3 and Port 4; this allows the HP StoreOnce Backup system to be connected to up to four 1GbE networks for management and backup and replication traffic. There are also two 10GbE ports that are available for backup and replication traffic. Network bonding (1GbE with 1GbE, and 10GbE with 10GbE) is supported to provide bandwidth and failover benefits when on a single 1GbE or 10GbE network. Refer to the HP StoreOnce Backup system Installation and Configuration Guide to find out more about possible network configurations and supported bonding modes. Network Port1 1GbE (the right hand port) must always be connected, even if you are using the FC ports or the 10GbE ports to back up and restore data to the HP StoreOnce Backup system, because the StoreOnce Management Console requires an Ethernet connection to set up and manage devices.
The following kit is available with twelve 2TB disks:

Further information about networks NOTE: The HP StoreOnce Backup system does not support the IPv6 protocol. 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.
Power off
Understanding the LEDs
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.

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 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. For the latest information about computer, OS and software compatibility, see www.hp.com/go/ebs.
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.
The following documents are available: • HP StoreOnce Backup User Guide (PDF): This guide describes how to use the Web Management Console. It is also available as online help.
NOTE: When installing/replacing a hot-plug device, it is not necessary to power down the units.

• Operator: Provides limited access for monitoring and viewing. User name = Operator; password = operator.
The HP StoreOnce Backup system is supplied with two FC cards pre-installed.
Names and passwords are case sensitive.
However, you must still connect the HP StoreOnce Backup system to an Ethernet network in order to use the StoreOnce CLI interface.
Accessing the StoreOnce Backup system
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.
information
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.
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.

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 @
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.
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.
