Verifying the HPE StoreOnce hardware configuration
The HPE StoreOnce System is supplied preconfigured according to the options specified at the time of
order. Any additional storage and/or Optional Hardware PCIe cards are already installed. They should
also be licensed and available for use.
Before you start the basic configuration tasks described in this guide verify the hardware installation as
follows:
Procedure
1. Verify what network connections are required for your backup environment. This determines which
network ports will be cabled in addition to the initial 1 GbE connection to LAN Port 1 described in the
Start Here poster. See also Network reference information on page 79.
2. Verify that any Optional Hardware required for connection to the backup environment is installed and
licensed. See Hardware overview reference section on page 68 for drawings that identify port and
slot locations for connecting to Ethernet networks and Fibre Channel SANs. See also Optional PCIe
cards on page 76.
3. Verify what storage is available and that all storage is ready for use. The drawings in Hardware
overview reference section on page 68 illustrate storage options for each model and any cabling
requirements. See also Expanding storage capacity, if supported on page 50. For HPE
StoreOnce 5500 Systems refer to SAS cabling for HPE StoreOnce 5500 Systems on page 12.

SAS cabling for HPE StoreOnce 5500 Systems
Cabling considerations for HPE StoreOnce 5500 Systems
The HPE StoreOnce 5500 System has two RAID controller cards and, in a multi-enclosure configuration,
all disk enclosures must be connected to the correct RAID controller card at installation before further
system configuration takes place. This chapter is included specifically for the HPE StoreOnce 5500
System to ensure that users can verify SAS cabling against the drawings showing recommended cabling
configurations.
All other StoreOnce Systems described in this guide have a single RAID controller card and cabling is
straightforward. Cabling diagrams for these systems are included in
section on page 68.
The user is also referred to the following sources of information:
• The HPE StoreOnce 5500 System Installation Planning and Preparation Guideprovides detailed
information about choosing a suitable location for the HPE StoreOnce 5500 System, as well as size,
weight and power specifications for various expansion options.
• Storage expansion steps with the HPE StoreOnce 5500 System are described in detail in the HPE
StoreOnce 5500 System Capacity Upgrade Guide supplied as a printed document with the product.

Basic HPE StoreOnce 5500 System installation
In this scenario, the disk enclosure bundled with the server is installed above the server and is connected
to the RAID controller card in Slot 2. There is a 1U support shelf above the server to protect it from the
weight of the disk enclosures. This is the installation that is described in the printed HPE StoreOnce 5500
System Start Here poster, and is illustrated below.
NOTE:
Within the StoreOnce software this enclosure is identified as Storage Cluster 1 and volume and pool
names have C2 as part of their naming convention to indicate that they are connected to the RAID
controller card in slot 2, for example: Pool C2_P1 to Pool C2_P6.

SAS cable lengths for HPE StoreOnce Systems
The StoreOnce implementation uses Managed Cables, making it easier to identify faults. The StoreOnce
software verifies that the correct length SAS cables are being used. Mini-SAS HD connectors are used
throughout.
SAS cables ‘click’ and lock into position when correctly inserted. Three cable lengths are available. The
maximum supported cable length is 2.0 m.

• Four enclosures below the server.
IMPORTANT:
The HPE StoreOnce 5500 System uses HPE Managed cables. If you choose not to follow one of
the recommended configurations, your system may experience errors with the StoreOnce SAS
check function that checks SAS cable integrity.
Refer to the HPE StoreOnce 5500 System Capacity Upgrade Guide for detailed step-by-step cabling
instructions. Guidelines are as follows.
More information

Factory-integrated SAS cabling configuration on page 18
Connecting enclosures
Procedure
1. Connect the first enclosure to the RAID controller card in slot 2 of the server.
2. Connect the second enclosure to the RAID controller card in slot 3 of the server.
14 Expansion installation scenarios
3. Daisy chain the third enclosure to the first enclosure.
4. Daisy chain the fourth enclosure to the second enclosure.
WARNING:
Never disconnect all SAS cabling at the same time while the system is powered on. It is essential to
maintain an active SAS connection throughout the expansion process.
Daisy chaining enclosures
Procedure
1. Connect the interlink cables between the two drawers in the new enclosure.
2. Connect the IOM A modules in the two enclosures.
3. Make the connection from the P2 of the RAID controller to the newly added enclosure.
IMPORTANT:
Do not disturb the SAS cabling between P1 of the RAID controller card and the existing
enclosure.
4. Connect the IOM B modules in the two enclosures.
Two enclosures above and two enclosures below the server
The following diagram illustrates the cabling for all four enclosures where two enclosures are above and
two enclosures are below the server. This configuration provides equal weight distribution in the rack. To
provide protection from the weight of the disk enclosures, the 1U support shelf is installed immediately
above the server. Refer to the HPE StoreOnce 5500 System Capacity Upgrade Guide for detailed stepby-step cabling instructions.

Up to four enclosures below the server
The second recommended configuration has the server at the top and all enclosures below it. It requires
one 1U support shelf, which should be installed below the last enclosure. This configuration provides
easier access to the server when cabling multiple enclosures. There is a 1U support shelf underneath the
lowest disk enclosure.
NOTE:
If you choose not to follow one of the recommended configurations, your system may experience errors
with the StoreOnce SAS check function that checks SAS cable integrity.

Factory-integrated SAS cabling configuration
There is a third option, the factory-integrated option, where the customer orders a system that is prebuilt
by HPE into a rack. This installation has specific shipping requirements to keep the mass of the rack as
low as possible while in transit. The server is at the lowest level and the four enclosures are installed
above the server. The 1U shelf is located above the server to protect it from the weight of the disk
enclosures. HPE does not anticipate the customer altering the layout of the factory–integrated option.
If neither of the recommended options are feasible, the factory-integrated option is also a viable option for
self-installing customers. Contact HPE Support for cabling details, if necessary.

iLO network name and iLO password
StoreOnce Systems are built on ProLiant server hardware and use the embedded Integrated Lights-Out 4
(iLO 4) management technology. iLO enables secure remote monitoring and console access via a web
browser.
iLO is not required for daily management of the StoreOnce appliance but is useful in a lights-out data
center situation. iLO is also useful for diagnosing hardware failures that prevent access to the appliance
through the primary StoreOnce GUI or remote StoreOnce CLI interface.
All StoreOnce Systems described in this guide are supplied with a label that includes the iLO network
name and iLO password. Ideally, the installer has made a note of this information, as recommended in
Step 3 of the printed Start Here guide. If not, it will be necessary to locate the label on the top of the
appliance in the data center.
It is good practice to either change the password after installation, or define an additional user with
privileges that can be used when accessing iLO from a web browser.
Configuring iLO4, all systems
Procedure
1. Boot up the StoreOnce System and watch the local console; the iLO4 IP addresses are shown (IPv4
and IPv6).
NOTE:
If the iLO port is plugged into a network that provides DHCP, the acquired addresses will be shown
here and you can connect to the network address in a web browser in order to configure iLO.
2. If there are no DHCP–assigned IP addresses, you can manually configure iLO using the local console.
Press F9 in the ProLiant POST screen to access System Utilities. Select System Configuration.

Basic network configuration
If you have not already done so, run the basic network script net set address as described in the
Start Here poster for your product, to configure a static address for LAN port 1 (eth0). Make a note of the
IP address details, which you will need to log into the StoreOnce System from a web browser.

Logging in to the HPE StoreOnce System and checking status
To log on to the StoreOnce Management GUI, use any machine connected to the same network as the
appliance. The StoreOnce System uses a secure network connection.
Procedure
1. Enter: https://<IP_address>.
2. You may also use the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN).
NOTE:
If you use http: in the URL, you are automatically forwarded to the https: secure network connection.
3. The StoreOnce Management Console displays the Login prompt. Provide the default User Name and
Password (Admin, admin). You can also set the local language to display the text within the
StoreOnce GUI from the Login screen.
4. The HPE StoreOnce Configuration Wizard is automatically displayed. You can either work through the
recommended configuration tasks or click Discard.
5. Look at the following pages to verify status information:
a. StoreOnce to check the overall status and the status of all services. They should all display with a
green √ and Running.
