HP StoreOnce VSA Backup System User Guide (TC458-96025)

6 HP StoreOnce Catalyst functions

The following StoreOnce Catalyst functions are available:

• Viewing and managing StoreOnce Catalyst settings, StoreOnce Catalyst (page 81)

• Viewing and managing Catalyst stores, Catalyst Stores (page 87)

For general information about StoreOnce Catalyst, see What is HP StoreOnce Catalyst (page 80).

NOTE: With the current version of the software there are no equivalent CLI commands available

for the tasks described in this section.

IMPORTANT: If Catalyst operations pass through a firewall, the network administrator must open

(TCP) ports 9387 (Command protocol) and 9388 (Data protocol) to allow the Catalyst traffic to

pass to and from the HP StoreOnce Backup systems.

Licensing requirements

OST/Catalyst devices require a license to be used at both source and target but do NOT require

an additional replication license. To use the security features Data at Rest Encryption or Secure

Erase, you must apply a Security license.

OST plug-in

For supported Symantec Netbackup and Backup Exec backup products, a free plug-in application

is required on each backup application media server that will use the Catalyst functionality. This

can be downloaded from https://www.software.hp.com/kiosk. The plug-in required is different

for Netbackup and Backup Exec.

What is HP StoreOnce Catalyst?

HP StoreOnce Catalyst is a StoreOnce function that allows:

• Backup applications to back up data to a target store on the HP StoreOnce Backup system.

Deduplication may occur on the media server or on the HP StoreOnce Backup system.

• Backup applications to copy jobs between HP StoreOnce Backup systems. All configuration

is carried out from the backup application, which makes this an attractive alternative to using

the replication function on the HP StoreOnce Backup system.

This function requires a backup application that supports HP StoreOnce Catalyst. The HP OST

plugins should also be installed on any Media Servers that will be transferring data to the StoreOnce

Backup system. Refer to http://www.hp.com/go/ebs for up-to-date details on supported

applications.

IMPORTANT: Much of the information displayed on the HP StoreOnce Catalyst pages is taken

directly from the backup application. It is strongly recommended to give jobs and media server

groupings names on the backup application that will be meaningful when displayed on the

StoreOnce Catalyst pages.
