HP StoreOnce 4900 Backup System Start Here Poster (BB903-90912, January 2014)

4 Networking information
NOTE: The HP StoreOnce Backup system does not support the
IPv6 protocol.
There are four 1GbE network ports and four 10GbE network ports.
Network bonding (1GbE with 1GbE, and 10GbE with 10GbE) is
supported to provide bandwidth and failover benefits.
The physical network ports provide three network configuration modes.
• Single Port Configuration: The HP StoreOnce 4900 Backup is
connected to one network; only one network port is used.
• Multiple subnet Configuration: The HP StoreOnce 4900 Backup
is connected to different networks. Two or more network ports are
used and must be on different sub-nets.
• High Availability (Bonded) Configuration: Multiple network ports
are used, but the ports are bonded to provide port failover. The
bonded ports must be of the same speed: 1 GbE with 1 GbE,
and 10GbE with 10 GbE. Three bonding modes are available:
Mode 1 (Active/Backup), Mode 4 (IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic Link
Aggregation) and Mode 6 (Active Load Balancing). Take care to
choose the network bonding mode appropriate for your network
environment and switch capability.
One Network Port must always be connected, even if you are using
the FC ports to back up and restore data to the HP StoreOnce
4900 Backup. This is because the StoreOnce Management Console
requires an Ethernet connection to set up and manage devices.
For further information and further connectivity options please refer to
the Installation and Configuration Guide and the HP StoreOnce CLI
Reference Guide on the CD.

Connecting to the network
1. Always use the supplied power cords to connect the HP StoreOnce
Backup system to the mains power supply. For detailed safety
information, see the Safety Guide on the CD-ROM.
2. Use any CAT-5E or CAT-6 network cable (also supplied with the
product) to connect the appropriate network Port(s) to a 1 Gigabit
or 10 Gigabit Ethernet network.
NOTE: If using the 10 GbE ports, be sure to install the SFP+ in
the port(s) first, as described on the flyer supplied with the SFP+.
3. The Quick Install option is to connect LAN Port 1 to a DHCP-
enabled 1GbE network, and you will be able to connect to and
manage the StoreOnce Backup system from any client attached
to the same network using the appliance’s network name. The
network name is on a label/sticker on the server. Once connected,

your network configuration.
Connecting to a Fibre Channel (FC) SAN
The HP StoreOnce Backup system is supplied with two FC cards pre-
installed. However, you must still connect the HP StoreOnce Backup
system to an Ethernet network in order to use the StoreOnce CLI
interface.
NOTE: If using the FC ports, be sure to install the SFP+ in the
port(s) first, as described on the flyer supplied with the SFP+.
Please note that devices created on the HP StoreOnce Backup system

on the Fibre Channel Fabric/Switch. Please refer to the Installation
and Configuration Guide on the CD for more details.
Connecting to the disk enclosure
The first disk enclosure is supplied with 11 data disks and 4 hot spare
disks pre-configured and must be installed.
If adding a second disk enclosure, the cabling layout is identical, but
it is from the second RAID card, as described in the printed guide
supplied with the expansion kit.
Connecting to the first disk enclosure
Cabling for the pre-configured disk exclosure
Connect supplied 2m SAS cables:
1. RAID port 2 to Drawer 2, I/O module B, port 2
2. RAID port 1 to Drawer 1, I/O module A, port 1
Connect supplied 0.5m SAS cables:
3. Drawer 1, I/O module A, port 2 to Drawer 2, I/O module A, port 1
4. Drawer 2, I/O module B, port 1 to Drawer 1, I/O module B, port 2
NOTE: The system will not boot if the SAS cabling is incorrect.
For more details see the HP StoreOnce 4900 Backup
Installation and Configuration Guide.
6 Power on

1 Power On button
HP StoreOnce 4900 Backup
(front view)
1 Power On button
1. Power on all installed disk enclosures first. You may need to hold
down the power on button (on the rear of each unit) for a few
seconds.
2. Power on the HP StoreOnce 4900 Backup (the power button is on
the front of the unit).
3. As long as DHCP is enabled on the network, the appliance should
now be accessible across the network. If it is not enabled, you
must use StoreOnce CLI commands to configure the appliance on
the network.
Power off
To power off your HP StoreOnce 4900 Backup always use the
StoreOnce CLI commands, as described in the HP StoreOnce CLI
Reference Guide on the HP StoreOnce Backup CD.
CAUTION: If you need to power down the Capacity Storage
Enclosures, make sure the HP StoreOnce 4900 Backup is
powered down first. This ensures that the system does not
erroneously mark the drives as failed when the HP StoreOnce
4900 Backup is powered up again.
To power off the Capacity Enclosures, press the Power On button (on
each unit) and wait for the system power LED to go from green to
amber.
NOTE: When installing/replacing a hot-plug device, it is not
necessary to power down the units.
7 Using the StoreOnce Backup
system
User accounts and passwords
Two types of user account are set up automatically when the system is
installed:
• Administrator:Allowsauthorizeduserstocreateandedit
management and StoreOnce functions. They can also create and
manage users. User name = Admin; password = admin.
• Operator: Provides limited access for monitoring and viewing.
User name = Operator; password = operator.
Changing the passwords for the default user accounts (Administrator,
Operator, HPresetpassword and iLO) after installation is strongly
recommended. For more information about other user accounts and
password best practices, see the HP StoreOnce Backup system User
Guide.
Accessing the StoreOnce 4900 Backup
There are two ways of accessing the StoreOnce Management
Console:
• Using the StoreOnce Command Line Interface, CLI
• Using the StoreOnce Web Management Interface, GUI
StoreOnce CLI Interface
Some tasks, such as network and storage configuration and licensing,
can be carried out only from the StoreOnce CLI.
StoreOnce CLI commands must be run from an SSH terminal
session and require an SSH client application (freely available from
the internet) running on the management console. Log on to the
StoreOnce CLI as follows:
ssh <username>@ <ip_address>
See the HP StoreOnce CLI Reference Guide for more information.
StoreOnce Web Management Interface, GUI
If DHCP is enabled on your network, or after network configuration
using the StoreOnce CLI, simply connect to the Web Management
Console or StoreOnce CLI from any machine connected to the network
using the default host name printed on the top of the appliance.
https: <ip_address> or <Fully_Qualified_Domain_Name>
Enter your user name and password
NOTE: If you will be configuring Virtual Tape Library devices as
backup targets, install all the required Tape drivers on backup
servers and ensure the backup server is running software that
supports HP Tape libraries. Tape drivers can be found on the
StoreOnce Backup CD. Drivers are not needed for NAS Share
and Catalyst Store backup targets.
