1 Introduction The HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager is a standalone software application that provides basic monitoring and management capabilities in a replication environment. It provides an easy way for customers to manage up to 400 HP StoreOnce devices. The HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager provides the following functionality for administrators and users: • Create, manage, and remove logical groupings of devices (administrators only).
The HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager is compatible with the following hardware: • HP StoreOnce 250x, 26xx, 27xx, 400x, 41xx, 42xx, 43xx, 44xx, 45xx, 47xx, and 49xx devices • HP StoreOnce B6200 and 6500 devices • HP StoreOnce VSA NOTE: This guide refers to devices as Gen2 and Gen3 devices. Gen2 devices consist of HP StoreOnce 250xx, 41xx, and 43xx devices. Gen3 (single node) devices consist of HP StoreOnce 26xx, 27xx, 42xx, 44xx, 45xx, 47xx, and 49xx devices.
2 Getting started Installing the HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager To install the HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager: 1. Obtain the HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager code by following the process found on the customer letter (Read Me First) in the replication License To Use. 2. Log into Software Depot at http://www.software.hp.com/kiosk to download the software. 3. Click StoreOnce Free Software to access the HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager page to download the software. 4. Navigate to and click on the TC458-10506.
13. Establish the correct port number settings. The HP StoreOnce Enterprise Manager uses ports 3095 and 3096 to receive client requests. If another application is already using port 3095 or 3096, change one of the application configurations to use another port number. To change the port numbers in SEM: a. Access the server.xml file in the [INSTALLDIR]/tomcat/conf folder. b. Find Connector connectionTimeout="20000" port="3095" protocol="HTTP/1.
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://:3096/sems, into that window, where is the IP address or the host name of the system on which the software is installed.
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.
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)).
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.
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.
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.
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.
