Setup Instructions for the HP OpenStorage (OST) Plug-in for Symantec NetBackup using HP StoreOnce Backup Systems

Setting up AIR
To set up AIR:
1. Create stores on the source and target HP StoreOnce Backup System. (Refer to HP StoreOnce
Back System documentation at http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/psi/
manualsResults/?lang=en&cc=us&sp4ts.oid=5196525http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/
site/hpsc/public/psi/manualsResults/?lang=en&cc=us&sp4ts.oid=5196525 for more
information.)
2. Set up topology:
a. HP provides a CLI tool (tpman) to storage administrators for replication topology setup.
The tool is installed automatically after the HP OST v3.0 plug-in is installed. The tool is
located at:
• For Windows: %SystemRoot%\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\
OpenStorage\3.0\bin
• For Linux: /usr/openv/hp/ost/3.0/bin
• For HP-UX: /usr/openv/hp/ost/3.0/bin
• For AIX: /usr/openv/hp/ost/3.0/bin
b. Use the tpman tool to setup replication topology. HP OST v3.0 supports replication
topology setup between stores. Topology can scale in an m:n fashion.
Tpman usage:
• For Windows: tpman.exe -add -source <sts:lsu> -target <sts:lsu>
[-clientid <id>]
• tpman.exe -remove -source <sts:lsu> -target <sts:lsu>
[-clientid <id>]
• tpman.exe -showtopology -store <sts:lsu> [-clientid <id>]
c. For all other platforms (non-Windows platforms), use tpman as follows:
• tpman -add -source <sts:lsu> -target <sts:lsu> [-clientid
<id>]
• tpman -remove -source <sts:lsu> -target <sts:lsu> [-clientid
<id>]
• tpman -showtopology -store <sts:lsu> [-clientid <id>]
d. Run the add command as shown below. In the example below, Catalyst Store,
Air_Demo_62_1, of storage server 10.11.3.62 replicates to Catalyst Store,
Air_Demo_64_1, of storage server 10.11.3.64.
Figure 2 Running the add command example
NOTE: Source Catalyst Stores and target Catalyst Stores should have same client
identifiers.
3. Create storage units and disk pools out of these replication-enabled Catalyst Stores, for use
with AIR, and then restart NBU services.
