the device firmware to the most recent version.
Upgrading the HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager
NOTE:Before you upgrade, HP recommends that you close all browser sessions that access the
HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager. The HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager version 1.3 supports
upgrading from HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager versions 1.0 , 1.0.1, and 1.2, and from HP
StoreOnce Replication Manager version 2.2.
1.Follow the procedure described in the section entitled, “Installing the HP StoreOnce Enterprise
Manager” (page 8).
The installer automatically upgrades the software, creates a database backup of the previous
software version, and saves the backup to [INSTALLDIR]\config\dbDump\DB_Backup_V_[version number].dump.
2.Copy the backup file to a safe location.
IMPORTANT:After an upgrade, it is mandatory that you delete the browser cache to ensure the
proper functioning of the application on the upgraded version.
Upgrading the HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager9
Launching and logging into the HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager
1.Launch the HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager from Start by selecting Start →AllPrograms→Hewlett Packard→HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager or by opening a browser
window and entering the web address, https://<server_ip>:3096/sems, into that
window, where <server_ip> is the IP address or the host name of the system on which the
software is installed.
For security purposes, the HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager only runs on https which runs
on port number 3096. All requests to http are redirected to https automatically.
The HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager login screen appears.
NOTE:The operating system allows only one browser window at a time to run the application.
To open the application in a browser window, click Start. After clicking Start, Attempts to
launch a second instance of the application will fail.
Instead, for each additional instance needed, open a new browser window, then enter the
web address, https://<server_ip>:3095/sems, into that window, where
<server_ip> is the IP address or the host name of the system on which the software is
installed. The http request on port 3095 is redirected to port https 3096. Launch an https
instance by using https://x.x.x.x:3096/sems.
2.Select the correct domain name from the drop-down list.
The HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager supports both authentication methods (local and LDAP)
simultaneously.
NOTE:The default user hprmsadmin is always a local user even if LDAP is selected as the
authentication mechanism.
3.After authentication is complete, the Overall Status Summary page is displayed.
At the first login, only the Un-Grouped group appears in the HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager
Overall Status Summary page. Perform the tasks in “Configuring the HP StoreOnce Enterprise
Manager” (page 13) to populate this window.
At the first login, the Overall Status Summary page contains groups to which you have access.
If you have not been assigned to any groups by the administrator, no groups appear in the
Overall Status Summary page. Contact the administrator to be assigned to the appropriate
group or groups.
IMPORTANT:After the first login as user name hprmsadmin and password hprmsadmin,
change the password.
10Getting started
NOTE:If the HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager detects that you are already logged in, an error
message appears.
This message is displayed for two reasons:
•After the HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager browser is refreshed, the system may disconnect
you and require you to log in again.
•If you close the browser, the user session remains active for some time.
In either of these cases, if you try to log in before the previous session times out, you must force
the login.
Click OK to return to the login screen, enter the information again, select the Force Login box, then
click Sign In.

Understanding administrator-level and user-level permissions
Users with administrator-level permissions (administrators) can view all items and perform all actions
in the HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager.
Users with user-level permissions (users) can only view those items for which they have permissions.
For example, compare the information available in the administrator view (shown in Figure 1 (page
11)) to the information available in the user view (shown in Figure 2 (page 12)).
Figure 2 Regions of the interface, user view
This user guide explains all actions that can be performed by an administrator and by users and
indicates administrator-specific actions.
12Getting started
3 Configuring the HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager
To start using the HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager, the administrator must configure it by
performing the following procedures in this order:
1.“Adding a device” (page 13)
2.“Adding new users, administrators, and groups” (page 16)
3.“Creating a new group” (page 16)
Other optional configuration steps include:
•“Importing an AD group” (page 20)
•“Setting up SMTP for emailed reports” (page 23)
•“Configuring a report scheduler” (page 25)
NOTE:Only an administrator can perform these procedures. Users with user-level permissions
cannot add a device, add new users, or create groups.
Adding a device
HP StoreOnce systems monitored by the HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager are referred to as
devices. Before adding a device to the HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager, update the device
firmware to the most recent version.
Four types of devices exist:
•Gen2, single node, refers to HP StoreOnce 250x, 41xx, and 43xx series devices.
•Gen3, single node, refers to HP StoreOnce 26xx, 27xx, 42xx, 44xx, 45xx, 47xx, and 49xx
devices.
•Gen3, multi-node, refers to HP StoreOnce B6200 and 6500 devices.
•HP StoreOnce VSA series
The procedure to add devices differs slightly between Gen2 and Gen3 devices.
To add devices:
1.From the Administration section of the Navigation tree, select Device Management.
2.Click Add.
The Add Device dialog box appears.
3.Select the appropriate radio button to determine how the HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager
will locate the device, and then type the correct information into the corresponding field.
Adding a device13
NOTE:After adding a device for an HP StoreOnce device with firmware 3.6.0 or later, you
must enter the user ID and password as authentication.
NOTE:Device additions can be completed by using a file or a Fully Qualified Domain Name
(FQDN) of the StoreOnce IP address also. By using a file, you can add several StoreOnce
devices all at once. To add by files, select Get IP address From File, and click the ... button to
select the file containing IP addresses. To use the FQDN, select Fully Qualified Domain Name.
If you select the option to add a device with its FQDN, ensure the /etc/hosts file in the
host system (HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager) displays the entry for FQDN of the device to
be added.
If you select the option to get IP addresses from a file, you must create a .txt file with the
IPs of all the devices to be added. The authentication for the devices to be added should be
provided only once.
4.Select the appropriate polling interval from the Polling Interval field.
The polling interval indicates how often the device is surveyed by the HP StoreOnce Enterprise
Manager to determine and record or report its status.
5.Select or clear the box to indicate whether the system is to find the associated target and
source devices.
If this box is selected, the HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager searches for any target and
source devices connected to the device being added, and also adds them to the system.
6.Select or clear the box to indicate whether the system is to search in the background.
If Search in Background is selected, other operations can be performed while devices are
being added.
If Search in Background is not selected, the Progress Bar window appears until the devices
are added successfully (or if the operation fails). Other operations cannot be performed while
the devices are being added.
14Configuring the HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager
7.Click OK to continue.
If the operation fails, an error dialog box appears. Click OK to close the dialog box, then
repeat this procedure.
If the device discovery operation fails after multiple attempts, check the network connectivity
between the SEM host and the device to be added. Also, confirm whether the IP address of
the device to be added is valid and that the device is up and running properly.
8.After the operation succeeds and a success dialog box appears, click OK to close the dialog
box.
The newly-added devices are included in the list of devices.
NOTE:If you plan to upgrade a Gen2 system to a Gen3 single node system, you must remove
the device from the HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager before the upgrade, and add it back to the
HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager after the upgrade.
Working with orphan service sets
If there is replication between a Gen2 and Gen3 device, or between two Gen3 devices, and you
only add the Gen2 device by finding associated devices, then it is not possible to automatically
find the IP address of the Gen3 device. All the service set/device entries are entered into the
database. Click Device Management->Pending; this displays all the service sets/devices for which
the system cannot automatically find the IP address. Enter the IP address of the 26xx, 27xx, 42xx,
44xx, 45xx, 47xx, 49xx, B6200, or 6500 device corresponding to all the listed service set entries,
and then click OK.
Adding a device15
Adding new users, administrators, and groups
In the HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager, you can add new users from Active Directory (AD). To
provide access to AD users, you must add the LDAP server information, and then import the AD
group from AD. After a group is imported from AD to the HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager, all
users of that group can log in to the HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager. Their information is saved
in the HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager database.
NOTE:The default authentication mechanism for the HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager is local.
After the initial configuration, you can change the authentication mechanism from local to LDAP.
Login procedures and procedures for adding users differs based on the authentication mechanism
selected. The following procedures are appropriate for the local authentication mechanism; see
“Configuring LDAP authentication” (page 94) for LDAP information.
Adding users locally

dialog box, using the information presented to the right of the fields to ensure the values are
acceptable.
For example, do not include dashes, spaces, or periods in the User Contact Number field.
NOTE:The user ID is not case sensitive.
4.In the Role Selection section, select the appropriate radio button to designate whether the
person being added is an Administrator or a User.
5.If all information is complete, click Submit.

6 Performing administration procedures
On the Navigation tree, administration tasks are available only to administrators. From here, the
administrator can perform a number of important procedures in the following categories:
•“Managing the authentication mechanism ” (page 94)
NOTE:The Administration tasks are not available to and cannot be seen by anyone with user-level
permissions.
Managing the authentication mechanism
Enterprise Manager supports two types of authentication mechanisms:
•Local authentication—Enterprise Manager stores the authentication information.
•LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) authentication—The HP StoreOnce Enterprise
Manager uses the information stored in the LDAP to authenticate users.
Enterprise Manager supports both Authentication types simultaneously; there is no need to switch
between them.
Configuring LDAP authentication
To configure the LDAP authentication, use the following procedures:
•“Adding a new LDAP server” (page 94)
•“Reconfiguring an existing LDAP server” (page 94)
•“Removing an LDAP server” (page 95)
Adding a new LDAP server
IMPORTANT:If you want to configure an LDAP server with the DIGEST-MD5 encryption
mechanism, you must enter a fully-qualified name in the Server field. DIGEST-MD5 does not work
with the Server IP.
To add a new LDAP server:
1.From the Navigation tree, select Administration.
2.On the AD Authentication tab, click Add.
The Add a new LDAP server dialog box appears.
3.Type the appropriate information into each field. After all the information is complete, click
Add.
a.If you cannot connect to the LDAP server, an error message appears. Click OK to close
the dialog box.
b.If the information is correct, a success message appears. Click OK to close the dialog
box.
Reconfiguring an existing LDAP server
The modify option does not allow you to change an existing server to a new server. You can use
either an IP address or a fully-qualified server name, depending on the encryption mechanism.

Using group management functions
In Enterprise Manager, a group is a logical collection of libraries, NAS shares, CatalystStores,
and Teamed CatalystStores that the administrator wants to manage and monitor as a collective
set. The administrator can also assign a user or a set of users to a group that provides monitoring
access for the group.
After a new device is added to Enterprise Manager, it is added to the Un-Grouped group. Any
library, NAS share, CatalystStore, and Teamed CatalystStore can only be part of one group at
any time. Because the group works as a collection, an HP StoreOnce device can belong to more
than one group at any time. For example, two libraries from an HP StoreOnce device called,
Archway13, can belong to ‘HR Group’ and two NAS shares from Archway13 can belong to
‘Admin Group,’ so Archway13 belongs to both ‘HR Group’ and ‘Admin Group.’ However,
Archway13 in ‘HR Group’ can monitor only those two libraries. Archway13 in ‘Admin Group’
can monitor only two NAS shares.
Administrators can select Group Management under Administration in the Navigation tree to
perform the following procedures:
•“Creating a new group” (page 16), presented in “Configuring the HP StoreOnce Enterprise
Manager” (page 13)
•“Modifying a group” (page 97)
•“Moving a library, NAS share, CatalystStore, or Teamed CatalystStore from one group to
another” (page 102)
•“Removing a group” (page 107)
