Navigating the HP StoreOnce Graphical User Interface (GUI)
The HP StoreOnce GUI and CLI together make up the Management Console. While there is overlap
in what operations you can perform, not all operations are available from both interfaces.
The HP StoreOnce 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
• Managing replication relationships and housekeeping
To run the StoreOnce GUI
Log on to the StoreOnce GUI using a browser on any machine connected to the management
network; see “User types and user roles” (page 7) for default login information. The HP StoreOnce
Backup system uses a secure network connection.

NOTE: Entering http: in the URL path will automatically forward to the https: secure network
connection.
The StoreOnce GUI displays the Login prompt.
NOTE: The web browser requires Active Scripting or JavaScript enabled. If both are disabled,
some browser buttons may not be displayed.
