HP StoreOnce 6500 Backup Installation Planning and Preparation Guide

Fibre Channel

Fibre Channel connection is required, if you are using VTL for backup. It is also required if the

StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel option has been enabled on your system.

You have the correct number of physical FC connections; 8 per couplet.1.

Fibre Channel is configured correctly for Virtual Tape Libraries (VTL) and the configuration supports

failover. See Fibre Channel connection (page 26).
