1 About your HP StoreOnce
Backup system
The HP StoreOnce Backup system is a disk-based storage appliance
for backing up host network servers or PCs to target devices on the
appliance. These devices are configured as NAS Share, Virtual Tape
Library or StoreOnce Catalyst Store targets for backup applications,
such as HP Data Protector.
To find out which backup applications are compatible with HP
StoreOnce functions go to www.hp.com/go/ebs.
TIP: To find out more about configuring and using NAS target
devices, FC and iSCSI virtual tape libraries, and Catalyst
Stores, use the link to the HP StoreOnce Backup User Guide on
the CD-ROM supplied with the system.
HP StoreOnce Backup system Capacity Kit
The Capacity Kit is an optional 12-disk expansion enclosure. Up to
three expansion enclosures may be installed at the same time as the
HP StoreOnce Backup system or added later. A license is required for
each Capacity upgrade and is included with the kit.
The following 12-disk expansion kits are available:
• HP StoreOnce 4500/4700 24TB Capacity Kit (BB881A)
• HP StoreOnce 4500 48TB Capacity Kit (BB909A)
2 Retrieve your license entitlement
certificates (if purchased)
Licensing is used to enable optional product functionality, such as
extra disk capacity, Replication, Catalyst or Security features. If you
have purchased any of these features, you should activate the license
as soon as possible.
Replication, Catalyst and Security License Entitlement Certificates
are supplied electronically. For extra disk capacity the appropriate
License Entitlement Certificates are supplied as paper documents
in clearly marked card envelopes. These are valuable items so, to
prevent them becoming lost, please ensure they are identified and put
safely to one side during unpacking.
Entitlement certificates for iLO4 Advance Packs are also supplied with
the HP StoreOnce Backup system.
It is strongly recommended that all licenses are redeemed as soon as
possible. Go to the Webware site - webware.hp.com. For detailed
information about activating licenses refer to the HP StoreOnce
Installation and Configuration Guide on the StoreOnce CD-ROM.
NOTE: There is also an Instant on license (time limited to
90 days): This allows you to try out StoreOnce Replication
and Catalyst licensable functionality before paying for a full
license. It does not apply to extra disk capacity or Security
features. See the HP StoreOnce Backup User Guide for more
information about this license and how to enable it.
NOTE: Licenses are locked to a specific appliance using
the serial number that can be found on the StoreOnce
management GUI, or printed on a label on the appliance.
3 Rack installation
The supplied rail kits allow you to install the HP StoreOnce Backup
system and Capacity Kits into square and round hole racks. If
mounting the server into threaded hole or telco racks, please see
www.racksolutions.com to purchase mounting hardware.
Always refer to the Safety Guide and the Installation and Configuration
Guide on the HP StoreOnce Backup CD-ROM for detailed safety
information.
CAUTION: Use extreme caution when installing and pulling units
from the rack; they can slip and fall, causing damage to the
HP StoreOnce Backup system or injury. HP is not responsible for
any damage or injury caused by the mishandling of the
HP StoreOnce Backup system.
WARNING: Always use at least two people to lift and locate
an enclosure into the rack.
1. Install the rails in the rack, as required. Follow the instructions
provided separately with the rail kits.
2. Slide the HP StoreOnce Backup system into position in the rack
and secure it to the rack rails using thumbscrews on the front
bezel.
NOTE: The label on the top of the HP StoreOnce Backup system
contains useful identity information, such as the MAC address
and default network name. Make a note of this information
before you install the appliance in the rack. There is also a
label with login information for the iLO4 management port.
3. If you have purchased the Capacity Kits install the expansion
enclosures directly below or above the HP StoreOnce Backup
system. Use the thumbscrews on the front of the chassis to secure
the expansion enclosure to the rack. (Remove the small side panels
secured with blue tape to access the thumbscrew.)
4 Networking information
NOTE: The HP StoreOnce Backup system does not support the
IPv6 protocol.
There are four 1GbE network ports and two 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 4500 Backup is
connected to one network; only one network port is used.
• Multiple subnet Configuration: The HP StoreOnce 4500 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 1GbE, and
10GbE with 10GbE.
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
4500 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 links on the CD-ROM.

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 network port(s) to a Gigabit Ethernet
network.
3. The Quick Install option is to connect LAN Port 1 to a DHCP-
enabled 1GbE network, which allows you 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,
run the StoreOnce CLI network commands to optimize your
network configuration.
Connecting to a Fibre Channel (FC) SAN
The HP StoreOnce Backup system is supplied with a FC card pre-
installed.
However, you must still connect the HP StoreOnce Backup system
to an Ethernet network in order to use the StoreOnce Management
Console.
Please note that devices created on the HP StoreOnce Backup system
can be accessed by all hosts on the SAN unless you configure zones
on the Fibre Channel Fabric/Switch.
