Viewing hardware options To view the hardware options that are currently installed, go to Device Configuration and select Optional Hardware. Locate the Fibre Channel Controller Licenses and the Network Controller Licenses sections. In the following example four FC cards have been installed, licensed and validated. NOTE: If adding optional hardware after installation, refer to the StoreOnce Optional Hardware Installation and Configuration Guide.
Connection requires installation of additional PCIe cards, known as StoreOnce Optional Hardware. NOTE: The StoreOnce 3100 System does not support connection to 10 GbE networks. The StoreOnce 3500 Series, StoreOnce 5100 System and StoreOnce 5500 System support connection to 10 GbE networks.
IMPORTANT: If you purchase the card(s) after installation, be sure to read the StoreOnce Optional Hardware Installation and Configuration Guide for instructions on installing and licensing them. Key definitions StoreOnce Systems support both IPv4 and IPv6 address protocols. IPv4 is available for backup to all target devices, for replication and StoreOnce Catalyst Copy between StoreOnce Systems, and for the StoreOnce Management Console.
and Replication between StoreOnce Systems. This is where the IP protocol and IP address details are defined for the subnet and the VLAN tag, if appropriate. ◦ If the Port Set is not VLAN enabled, it may be configured with one Data Subnet that uses the IPv4 protocol and one Data Subnet that uses the IPv6 protocol.
VLAN guidelines There is a fixed number of available physical NIC ports on the StoreOnce System, defined by the number of 1 GbE ports plus 10 GbE ports, therefore there is a limit on the number of physical Subnets to which the StoreOnce System can be directly connected. If your network requires more Subnets than this—for example, twenty—the network administrator can define 20 VLANs, each with its own Subnet and, typically, use a 10 GbE bonded link to the StoreOnce System as a trunk.
StoreOnce Systems support data backup to StoreOnce Catalyst and VTL devices via Fibre Channel. NOTE: The Fibre Channel hardware option is not supported on the StoreOnce 3100 System. Fibre Channel hardware requirements If you intend to connect the StoreOnce System to a SAN, you must purchase and install one or more FC cards in the PCIe slots.
NOTE: Overlapping zones are supported. NOTE: The HP Brocade SAN Switches support NPIV natively but the Cisco SAN Switches require that it be turned on for each port used. Configuring Fibre Channel This section provides an overview only; see the StoreOnce System User Guide for detailed instructions with screenshot examples.
NOTE: Once the client has Fibre Channel zoned with the StoreOnce appliance, there are a number of considerations for each operating system. See the HPE StoreOnce 3100, 3520, 3540 and 5100 User Guide for more details. For use with VTL libraries There are three StoreOnce GUI screens that relate to FC with VTL.
