1 Installation checklist
Before installing the unit you need the following information
• What is the network configuration: DHCP or static, IPv4 or IPv6?
• A 1Gb Ethernet network is required to connect to the Web Management Interface. If supported
on your appliance, will you be using other interfaces for data traffic, 10Gb Ethernet or FC?
• What devices are you planning on using for backup (VTL and/or NAS) and will you be using
a Fibre Channel interface for VTL.
• Are you planning to replicate and what is the replication strategy?
• License information for replication and additional storage (unless this has been pre-configured)
Installation and Configuration checklist
Unpack the appliance and, for D2D4100 and D2D4300 Series, any expansion shelves that you are installing at
the same time.
Connect the appliance to the 1Gb network and power supply, and switch on the unit and any expansion shelves.
Discover the appliance IP address or configure static addressing.
If backing up to iSCSI VTL devices, install tape and library drivers and install iSCSI on the host.
Set up the Management network ports and configure any other interfaces you wish to use. If using 10Gb Ethernet
(HP D2D4300 Series only), configure and enable the 10Gb network ports. If using Fibre Channel, configure the
FC connection.
Enter licensing information on the Web Management Interface: for replication and additional storage, as required.
Use the Web Management Interface to check that the box has up-to-date software.
Use the Web Management Interface to configure appliance settings, such as date/time, email recipients, web
security SSL certificate, GUI password.
On the Web Management Interface create and configure the required VTL devices and NAS shares that will be
used for backup.
Configure your backup application to use these devices.
Configure replication on the Web Management Interface.
If required, configure housekeeping and replication blackout windows on the Web Management Interface.
At the end of configuration, use the Web Management Interface to save a copy of the configuration file.
You can access the iLO2 interface for further remote management capabilities. Ensure that the iLO2 port on the
rear of your StoreOnce Backup System is connected to the network and use the network address and
username/password on the supplied brown tag to access iLO2.

In this chapter:
• Introduction
• What is the HP StoreOnce Backup System?
• Software and hardware requirements
• Supported Ethernet configurations
• Supported Fibre Channel connections
• Web browser settings
Introduction
This guide describes how to install and carry out the initial configuration of your HP StoreOnce
Backup System. The following documents are also available at http://www.hp.com/support/
manuals:
• HP StoreOnce Backup System Concepts Guide: If you are new to the HP StoreOnce Backup
System, it is a good idea to read this guide before you configure your system. It describes the
StoreOnce technology.
• HP StoreOnce Backup System User Guide: This guide contains detailed information on using
the Web Management Interface. It also contains troubleshooting information, including details
on replacing failed or failing hard disks.
• D2D Best Practices for VTL, NAS and Replication implementations: This white paper advises
how to plan the workload being placed on the HP StoreOnce Backup System in order to
optimize performance and minimize the impact of deduplication, replication and housekeeping
operations competing for resources. It is regularly updated.
What is the 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 either
Network-Attached Storage (NAS) or Virtual Tape Library (VTL) targets for backup applications.
The total number of backup targets provided by an HP StoreOnce Backup System is split between
VTL and NAS devices.
These devices may be all VTL, all NAS or any combination of NAS and VTL devices. All HP
StoreOnce devices that are configured for NAS or VTL automatically make use of HP deduplication,
ensuring efficient and cost-effective use of disk space.
See the HP StoreOnce Backup System Concepts Guide for a more detailed discussion about VTL
and NAS.
Software and hardware requirements
Refer to http://www.hp.com/go/connect or http://www.hp.com/go/ebs for the latest connectivity
and compatibility information.
• All HP StoreOnce Backup Systems must be connected to a 1Gb Ethernet network for installation
and discovery.
• HP D2D2500 Series and D2D4100 Series models should be connected to a 1Gb network
for all backup and replication activities. 100 Base-T Ethernet will limit performance; 10 Base-T
Ethernet will severely limit performance.
6 Before you start
• The HP D2D4300 Series Backup System also has two 10Gb Ethernet ports and, after installation
and discovery, is normally connected to a 10Gb network for backup and replication activities.
(The 1Gb network connection is still required for the Web Management Interface.) On no
account should an HP D2D4300 Series be connected to a 100 or 10 Base-T Ethernet
connection.
• When connecting to a Fibre Channel network, the HP StoreOnce Backup System is supplied
with the correct FC card pre-installed. Cables are not supplied.
• For backup and restore to Virtual Tape Library targets you need software that supports tape
libraries and autoloaders. This software resides on the host, not the HP StoreOnce Backup
System. The device may be used with the major backup applications from HP, Symantec,
EMC, Computer Associates and others.
Supported Ethernet configurations
The HP StoreOnce Backup System supports both IPv4 and IPv6.
The HP StoreOnce Backup System should be connected to a spare port on an existing 1Gb network
switch. This may be your main network, which is also used to connect a number of different types
of devices, such as PCs, servers, workstations and printers, or a dedicated backup network that is
used solely for clients that need to be backed up.
The HP StoreOnce Backup System should be on the same logical and physical network as the host
machine connecting to it. The 1Gb LAN port must always be connected, even if you are using the
FC ports to back up and restore data to the HP StoreOnce Backup System, because the Web
Management Interface requires a 1Gb Ethernet connection to set up devices.
HP D2D4300 Series only
The HP StoreOnce D2D4300 Series Backup System has two 1Gb ports and two 10Gb ports. You
must connect to the 1Gb port (labelled LAN port 3) to run the Installation Wizard and discover
the HP StoreOnce Backup System on your network. This is also the recommended port for running
the Web Management Interface.
The 10Gb ports are available for backup and replication traffic. They must be configured separately,
after installation on the Network (Configuration) page of the Web Management Interface.
Supported Fibre Channel connections
NOTE: Fibre Channel is not supported on models in the HP D2D2500 Series or the HP D2D4106i
Backup System.
The HP StoreOnce Backup System supports both switched fabric and direct attach (private loop)
topologies. A direct attach (point-point) topology is not supported.
A switched fabric topology utilizes one or more fabric switches to provide a flexible configuration
between several Fibre Channel hosts and Fibre Channel targets such as HP StoreOnce Backup
Systems.
Switched fabric configurations are implemented with Fibre Channel switches. Switches may be
cascaded or meshed together to form larger fabrics.
A direct attach topology is implemented by connecting the HP StoreOnce Backup System directly
to a Host Bus Adapter (HBA). In this configuration the Fibre Channel private loop protocol must
be used.
The preferred topology for the HP StoreOnce Backup System is switched fabric using NPIV (N_Port
ID Virtualisation).
Supported Ethernet configurations 7
NOTE: Please refer to http://www.hp.com/go/connect or http://www.hp.com/go/ebs for the
latest information.

System
In this chapter:
• Installing the rail kit
• Mounting the HP StoreOnce Backup System
• Connecting the hardware
• Connecting to the Capacity Upgrade Kit (optional)
• Powering on the HP StoreOnce Backup System
IMPORTANT: See also the Safety Booklet on the HP StoreOnce Backup System CD-ROM.
Installing the rail kit
The supplied rail kits allow you to install the HP StoreOnce Backup System into square and round
hole racks for 1U and 2U servers. If mounting the HP StoreOnce Backup System into threaded hole
or telco racks, please refer to http://www.racksolutions.com to purchase the required mounting
hardware.
This installation is to be performed by qualified individuals who have knowledge of the procedures,
precautions, and hazards associated with equipment containing hazardous electrical circuits.
WARNING! These rails, when installed, form only a shelf for the server to rest on. The server is
not attached to the rail by any other means. Use extreme caution when pulling the server out from
the rack; it can slip and fall, causing damage to the server or injury. HP is not responsible for any
damage or injury caused by the mishandling of the server.
WARNING! Ensure that the rack is level and stable before working on the rack. Be sure the
leveling jacks (feet) extend to the floor and that the full weight of the rack rests firmly on the floor.
WARNING! Ensure that the rack has anti-tip measures in place. Such measures may include
floor-bolting, anti-tip feet, ballast, or a combination of these as specified by the rack manufacturer
and applicable codes.
WARNING! Ensure that sufficient personnel are on hand to support the product(s) during the
installation process. Use of the appropriate lifting device is recommended as an installation aid.
WARNING! Always load the rack from the bottom up. Load the heaviest items in the rack first.
This makes the rack bottom-heavy and helps prevent it from becoming unstable.
WARNING! Do not overload the branch circuit that provides power to the rack. The total rack
load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating.
Mounting the HP StoreOnce Backup System
WARNING! Ensure that sufficient personnel are on hand to support the product(s) during the
installation process. Use of the appropriate lifting device is recommended as an installation aid.
1. Install the rails in the rack, as required. Follow the instructions provided separately with the
rail kits.
Installing the rail kit 13
2. Slide the HP StoreOnce Backup System into position in the rack and secure it to the rack rails.

14 Connecting and installing the HP StoreOnce Backup System
Connecting the hardware
1. Use the supplied power cord(s) to connect the HP StoreOnce Backup System to the main power
supply. This HP-approved cord is appropriate for your specific geographic region.
HP D2D4300 and 4100 Series Backup Systems have a redundant power supply. Make sure
that both power cords are connected.
For detailed safety information, see the Safety Guide on the HP StoreOnce Backup System
CD-ROM.
2. Use any CAT-5E network cable (also supplied with the product) to connect to a 1Gb network
switch. 100 Base-T Ethernet will limit performance; 10 Base-T Ethernet will severely limit
performance. See also Supported Ethernet configurations.
NOTE: The Web Management Interface is used to configure devices and it requires a 1Gb
Ethernet connection, even if you are using the FC ports (or 10Gb ports on the HP D2D4300 Series)
to back up and restore data to the HP StoreOnce Backup System.
• The HP D2D4300 Series Backup System has two 1Gb ports and two 10Gb ports. You must
connect to the 1Gb port (labeled LAN port 3) to run the Installation Wizard and discover the
HP StoreOnce Backup System on your network. This is also the recommended port for running
the Web Management Interface. The 10Gb ports are available for backup and replication
traffic and are configured after installation using the Web Management Interface. Take care
if configuring with DHCP because Linux only supports one gateway address.
• All other HP StoreOnce Backup System models must be connected to LAN Port 1 (the lower
LAN port on the rear of the unit) to run the Installation Wizard and discover the HP StoreOnce
Backup System on your network. The second 1Gb port may subsequently be used for backup
and replication.
NOTE: The HP StoreOnce Backup System also supports direct connection of a monitor and
keyboard and iLO2. Please refer to Using the system console (IPv4 and IPv6) and Using the iLO2
port for more information about this.
