•HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager User Guide

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

Launching and logging into the HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager

1.Launch the HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager from Start by selecting Start →All Programs→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.

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.

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.
