HP Store Once Backup System 4900 Installation and Configuration Guide

Discovering the HP StoreOnce Backup system on the network
If you have used the Quick Install option of connecting LAN Port 1 to a DHCP-enabled 1GbE
network, you can connect to and manage the StoreOnce Backup system from any client attached
to the same network using the appliance's Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). The FQDN is
on a label/sticker on the server. Once connected, run the StoreOnce CLI network commands to
optimize your network configuration.
If your network is not DHCP enabled or you have attached to a different network port, connect a
monitor with keyboard directly to the appliance to configure network settings using the StoreOnce
CLI commands. Once configured, use the CLI or GUI, as appropriate, to manage the appliance.
NOTE: For ease of initial configuration HP recommends using the net set wizard StoreOnce
CLI command. This wizard presents a series of questions, using the answers you provide to configure
the appliance on the network. See Network configuration, how to use StoreOnce CLI
commands (page 45) for more information and network configuration examples.
Accessing the StoreOnce Management Console
There are two ways of accessing the StoreOnce Management Console:
• Using the StoreOnce Command Line Interface, CLI
• Using the StoreOnce Web Management Interface, GUI
The StoreOnce CLI
The StoreOnce Command Line Interface (CLI) enables administration and monitoring of the system.
Some tasks, such as library configuration and user management, can be performed from either
the StoreOnce GUI or the StoreOnce CLI; other tasks, such as network configuration, SNMP
configuration and date and time configuration, can only be performed through the StoreOnce CLI.
See the HP StoreOnce Backup system CLI Reference Guide for more information about the StoreOnce
CLI commands and their syntax.
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).
The StoreOnce GUI
The HP StoreOnce Management Console (GUI) is the main interface for:
• Monitoring the status and health of the HP StoreOnce Backup system and all configured backup
devices.
• Creating and modifying VTL and NAS StoreOnce backup targets and Catalyst stores (VTL
backup targets may also be created and managed using the StoreOnce CLI).
• Managing replication relationships and housekeeping.
To log on to the Management Console using the StoreOnce GUI, use any machine connected to
the same network as the appliance. The HP StoreOnce Backup system uses a secure network
connection.
