4 Advanced installation
The Installation wizard is the recommended way to install the HP D2D Backup System, but it is possible
to install it manually. You may also need to run phases independently when troubleshooting. This
chapter describes:
• “Manual driver installation” on page 53
• “Using DHCP to discover the HP D2D (IPv4 only)” on page 54
• “Using the Discovery Engine to discover the HP D2D (IPv4 only)” on page 54
• “Using the system console to discover the HP D2D” on page 56
• “The Microsoft iSCSI Initiator” on page 59
• “Linux and UNIX iSCSI initiators” on page 64
Manual driver installation
Two drivers are required; an HP LTO Tape driver and a medium changer driver.
NOTE:
Certain backup applications require you to use their own drivers for both the tape device and medium
changer. For many applications these will be installed automatically during the software installation
process. If the backup software is already installed, you may need to manually update the drivers
after installing the HP D2D Backup System.
HP LTO Tape driver
The HP LTO Tape driver must be installed to allow your system to recognize the Ultrium tape devices
created by the HP D2D Backup System.
Tape drivers can be installed from the drivers directory on the HP StorageWorks D2D Backup System
CD-ROM, where they are supplied as an installer application and as driver files for manual installation.
Also check the HP website for driver updates at http://www.hp.com/support.
The tape drive is configurable as an LTO-2, LTO-3 or LTO-4 device. This is the default behavior of the
tape drive and there is no need and no way to change it on the HP D2D Backup System. It is important
not to confuse emulation type with cartridge size. Emulation type is totally independent from cartridge
size. The HP D2D Backup System allows you to pick whatever cartridge size you like (up to 1.6 TB).
Medium changer driver
No additional medium changer driver is required because Microsoft Windows provides a suitable
generic driver and all backup applications provide their own changer drivers.
