6 Advanced installation
The Installation wizard is the recommended way to install the HP StoreOnce Backup System, but
it is possible to install it manually. You may also need to run phases independently when
troubleshooting. This section describes:
• Discovering the HP StoreOnce Backup System (mandatory)
• Manual driver installation (VTL only)
• iSCSI Initiator (VTL only)
Discovering the HP StoreOnce Backup System (mandatory)
Using DHCP (IPv4 only)
NOTE: DHCP discovery is only supported if you are installing the HP StoreOnce Backup System
as an IPv4 iSCSI network device. If you are installing the unit as an IPv6–only iSCSI network device,
DHCP discovery is not supported.
If you are connecting the HP StoreOnce Backup System to an IPv4 network that has a DHCP server,
DHCP addressing is enabled by default. The IP address and other network settings are assigned
automatically when you connect the HP StoreOnce Backup System to the network. You only need
to know the name of the HP StoreOnce Backup System to complete the installation and create a
base library configuration. The name is in the format HP-<serial number> and can be found on
the label on the front of the unit.
In the web browser type in: HP-<serial number>
NOTE: Depending on network settings, you may need to enter the full domain path.
Once the HP StoreOnce Backup System has been discovered on the network, you must configure
an iSCSI Initiator on the host, so that the library devices on the device are visible to the backup
application. See also The Microsoft iSCSI Initiator.
Using the Discovery Engine (IPv4 only)
If your network does not have a DHCP server, the Discovery Engine allows you to locate the HP
StoreOnce Backup System on your network and assign network settings, such as the IP address.
It is the recommended way to locate and configure the HP StoreOnce Backup System on your
network, if you are using static IP addressing for an IPv4 iSCSI network device. It also allows you
to select your required base configuration and specify the number of slots for an iSCSI library.
The Discovery Engine can be run as part of the Installation wizard or as a standalone utility from
the HP StoreOnce Backup System CD-ROM.
