Hardware-related considerations
The StoreOnce System is supplied pre-configured according to the options specified at the time
of order. This means that 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:
• 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 More about network configuration (page 63).
• Verify that any Optional Hardware required for connection to the backup environment is
installed and licensed. See Hardware overview (page 53) for drawings that identify port and
slot locations for connecting to Ethernet networks and Fibre Channel SANs. See also Optional
PCIe cards (page 60).
• Verify what storage is available and that all storage is ready for use. The drawings in
Hardware overview (page 53) illustrate storage options for each model and any cabling
requirements. See also Expanding storage (page 38). For StoreOnce 5500 Systems refer
also to SAS cabling for StoreOnce 5500 Systems (page 10).
Up to five 48 TB Capacity Upgrade Kits may be connected
to base unit, each requires a separate license

2 SAS cabling for StoreOnce 5500 Systems
This chapter describes how to connect multiple disk enclosures to the StoreOnce 5500 System,
which has two RAID controller cards. It is included at the front of this guide for users who have
ordered a multi-enclosure configuration at installation because they need to understand how to
cable the disk enclosures to the correct RAID controller card.
IMPORTANT: It is important to plan for expansion when installing the basic system. The
StoreOnce 5500 System Installation Planning and Preparation Guide provides detailed information
about choosing a suitable location for the StoreOnce 5500 System, as well as size, weight and
power specifications for various expansion options. This document can be downloaded from:
www.hpe.com/info/storeonce/docs
All other StoreOnce Systems described in this guide have a single RAID controller card and
cabling diagrams for these systems are included in Hardware overview (page 53).
NOTE: Storage expansion steps with the StoreOnce 5500 System are also described in detail
in the StoreOnce 5500 System Capacity Upgrade Guide supplied as a printed document with
the product.
Basic installation
In this scenario, the disk enclosure bundled with the head 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
head server to protect it from the weight of the disk enclosures. This is the installation that is
described in the printed StoreOnce 5500 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, for example: Pool C2_P1
to Pool C2_P6.

Expansion guidelines
Two installation scenarios are recommended:
• Two enclosures either side of the head server
• Four enclosures below the head server.
IMPORTANT: 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 StoreOnce 5500 System Capacity Upgrade Guide for detailed step-by-step cabling
instructions. Guidelines are as follows.
Enclosure connection sequence
• Connect the first enclosure to the RAID controller card in slot 2 of the head server.
• Connect the second enclosure to the RAID controller card in slot 3 of the head server.
• Daisy chain the third enclosure to the first enclosure.
Drawer 1, I/O module A, port 2Drawer 2, I/O module A, port 1

Drawer 1, I/O module A, port 1RAID card in PCI slot 2, port 1
Drawer 2, I/O module B, port 2RAID card in PCI slot 2, port 2
• 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 sequence
1. Connect the interlink cables between the two drawers in the new enclosure.
2. Connect the IOM A modules in the two enclosures.
Expansion guidelines 11
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.
SAS cable lengths
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 should ‘click’ and lock into position when correctly inserted. Three cable lengths are
available. The maximum supported cable length is 2.0 m.
Table 7 Supported SAS cables
Location for usePart NumberDescription

Between disk enclosures or between the
server and the disk enclosure
Between the server and the disk enclosure if
the 1.0 m cable is not long enough. Do not
use to connect one disk enclosure to another.
NOTE: To facilitate future expansion, HPE recommends using 2.0 m SAS cables to connect
from the server to Drawer 2 of the disk enclosure. For this reason, the base system of one server
and one disk enclosure is supplied with two 0.5 m cables and two 2.0 m cables.

If the StoreOnce system has not yet been powered on, as described in the appropriate Start
Here poster, or if you need to configure iLO 4 from a direct connection, perform the following
steps.
Powering up the StoreOnce 5500 System
1. Perform a final check to ensure all cables are connected correctly and securely:
Head server unit
• Two power cables to the head server
• Keyboard and monitor cables
• Network cable to LAN port 1
• Network cable to iLO port
• Optional hardware — see the StoreOnce Optional Hardware Installation and
Configuration Guide
Disk enclosure(s)
• Four power cables to the disk enclosure
• Two 2m SAS cables from the disk enclosure to the first RAID controller card (slot 2)
• Two 0.5m SAS cables between the drawers on the disk enclosure
NOTE: See Hardware overview (page 53) for cabling examples.
2. Power on all installed disk enclosures first. You may need to hold down the power on button
(1) on the rear of each unit for up to 30 seconds. Look at the LEDs on the I/O modules and
wait until the Green Status LED (3) remains on, and the Locate LED (2) and the Fault LED
(4) are both off.
3. Power on the HPE StoreOnce 5500 System (the power button is on the front of the unit).
The Power button LED flashes green during the power-on sequence, and the Power button,
System Health and NIC status LEDs all show steady green when the StoreOnce System is
powering up.

iLO functionality
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.
iLO network name and iLO password
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.
To configure iLO4, all systems
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

4 Logging in to the StoreOnce System and checking status
The examples in this guide illustrate how to use the StoreOnce GUI to carry out configuration
tasks. However, all tasks may also be performed from the StoreOnce CLI, as described in the
StoreOnce System CLI Reference Guide.
Supported web browsers
The StoreOnce Management GUI is supported on the following web browsers:
• Internet Explorer 9, 10 and 11 (note that Internet Explorer 8 is not supported and some
StoreOnce features will not work)
• Mozilla FireFox v22 and above and Firefox ESR24 and above
IMPORTANT: The web browser used to communicate with the StoreOnce System requires
Active Scripting or JavaScript enabled. Without these scripts enabled, some browser buttons will
not display.
Login to the StoreOnce System and check 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.
1. Enter: https://<IP_address> .
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.
2. 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.
3. Look at the following pages to verify status information:
• StoreOnce to check the overall status and the status of all services. They should all
display with a green √ and Running.
• Device Configuration — License Management to see what licenses have been
applied. This page will also identify any Capacity Upgrade Kits and Optional Hardware
that has been installed and licensed. See Configuring licenses (page 23)
.
StoreOnce CLI
The tasks described in this guide can also be carried out using the StoreOnce CLI.
Supported web browsers 21
1. StoreOnce CLI commands require an SSH client application (freely available from the internet)
and must be run from a SSH terminal session on a machine that is on the same network as
the StoreOnce appliance:
ssh <username>@<ip_address>
NOTE: StoreOnce CLI commands can also be run from a local console (Keyboard and
Monitor) attached to the appliance, for example, if the network is not yet configured.
2. At the prompts provide a User Name and Password (Admin, admin).
3. See the StoreOnce System CLI Reference Guide for more information.
