HP StoreOnce Backup System Conversion from G2 (D2D) to G3 (StoreOnce) Software Release Notes (BB852-90947, July 2103)

NAS and VTL Replication
Replication functionality for NAS and VTL devices is present in 3.x.x software and is compatible with
both older single node appliance software and B6200 multi-node appliances. Replication offers a
way that you can migrate previously backed up data onto your appliance after conversion to 3.x.x
software completes.
License Compatibility
Licenses for Capacity upgrade and Replication that were purchased for use on your existing appliance
are also valid after the conversion to 3.5.x (or later) software. Your appliance will retain its existing
serial number so your node-locked licenses can continue to be used. In addition, after the conversion,
you can purchase licenses to use the Catalyst functionality.
Please note that all licenses are applied via the StoreOnce CLI, not via the GUI.
Installation on disk
Existing single node products running 2.x.x software boot and run from a flash memory device located
inside the appliance chassis. 3.5.x (or later) software, however, is installed on the appliance hard
disks. The installation process is outlined below. Note also that the capacity available for backup is
smaller after the installation of 3.5.x (or later) software due to installing the software on disk.
StoreOnce CLI
The Single Node appliances running 3.5.x (or later) software deliver a customer-accessible, enterprise
class CLI interface as well as the GUI. This StoreOnce CLI is used for several configuration tasks and
also for day to day administration of some features of the StoreOnce appliance.
Network Support
The 3.5.x (or later) software supports a similar set of configuration modes for both 1GbE and 10GbE
networks, significant differences being:
• Configuration of networking is currently via the StoreOnce CLI interface only
• IPv6 support is not currently available
• A single failover and port aggregation port bonding mode is provided rather than the two discrete
modes provided in previous software
GUI differences
The StoreOnce GUI with 3.4.x (or later) software adopts a cross-HP Storage design and structure, it
is identical in layout to the HP StoreOnce B6200 Backup system and similar to other storage products
from HP, enabling easy and familiar administration experience. There are some features that existed
in the GUI with 2.x.x software that are now only present in the CLI with 3.4.x (or later) software, the
main ones being:
• Disk storage configuration
• Network configuration
• SNMP trap configuration
• Date and Time, including NTP, configuration
• Software upgrade
• Localization (the 3.x.x GUI is currently only available in English)
