NOTE: HP StoreOnce systems that are 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.

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 Manager 9

Launching and logging into the HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager

1. Launch the HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager from Start by selecting Start All ProgramsHewlett PackardHP 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.
10 Getting 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.

Identifying regions of the interface

Throughout this guide, procedures refer to various regions of the HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager interface. See Figure 1 (page 11) to become familiar with these regions. The screen shows a typical HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager application with a few devices and groups shown.

Identifying regions of the interface 11

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.
12 Getting 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 device 13
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.
14 Configuring 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 device 15

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

To add new users or administrators, if you are using the local authentication mechanism:
1. From the Navigation tree under Administration, select User Management.
2. On the Active Users tab, click Add. The Add New User dialog box appears.
3. In the General section, type the appropriate information into each field of the Add New User 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. The Success dialog box appears.
7. Click OK to exit the dialog box, and return to the User Management screen. The newly-added user or administrator is included in the list of users.

in the bread crumbs, then select the radio button of the device to view.
After a Gen3 device is added to the HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager, it attempts to reach all the CatalystStores within that device using the default access key which is an empty string. If client access permissions are disabled or if the store is set as accessible to “All Clients” in the Gen3 device, the Accessible column for that CatalystStore displays Yes. Otherwise, you must enter the correct client access key. The HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager then uses that access key to communicate with CatalystStore. Without the correct access key, the HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager cannot retrieve any information related to CatalystStore job statuses.

5 Accessing and viewing reports

The HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager supports report and trending for the history data. The HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager shows a dashboard of overall appliance status, library status, NAS share status, replication jobs, replication duration and size, object store status, forecast, disk usage, and disk usage forecasting.
To view the reports, select Reports on the Navigation tree. The Dashboard is displayed by default. Reports can be exported to a .csv file or a .png image by clicking Export to csv. You can schedule
a report by clicking Schedule an Email (see “Configuring a report scheduler” (page 25)).
In all the reports, the For Last drop-down displays the data as follows:
For last 24 Hours/1 Day, the report displays hourly aggregated values.
For last 1 Week or 4 Weeks, the report displays daily aggregated values.
For last All, the report displays monthly aggregated values.
In addition, in all the reports under Replication tab (Jobs, Slot Mapping Activity, and Cartridge Activity) the “For Last” also displays the options of “8 Weeks” and “3 months” historic data.

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)
“Using user management functions” (page 95)
“Using group management functions” (page 97)
“Performing device management functions” (page 107)
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)
