NOTE: These Fibre Channel settings apply to the whole appliance and can also be edited
in the StoreOnce VTL section of the GUI, if you are backing up to StoreOnce VTL library
target devices over Fibre Channel. Port Speed or Topology settings, defined on either page,
apply to all target devices being backed up over Fibre Channel.
• In the Devices section locate the Number of Logins and Devices per Initiator Port for
each port. These values determine the number of concurrent backup and restore connections
allowed on each FC port on the StoreOnce System.
◦ The Number of Logins defines the number of client-side ports that are zoned to be
able to connect to that port on the StoreOnce System. This cannot be edited.
◦ The Devices per Initiator Port value determines the number of backup and restore
connections that are allowed — for each client login — to that port on the StoreOnce
System. This value should be increased if multiple concurrent backup streams are
required. Note that the maximum allowed is 64.
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.
• If required, the administrator may configure the port speed or topology from the VTL-Fibre
Channel Settings tab. The default settings are recommended.
NOTE: These Fibre Channel settings apply to the whole appliance and can also be edited
in the StoreOnce Catalyst section of the GUI, if you are backing up to StoreOnce Catalyst
target devices over Fibre Channel. Port Speed or Topology settings, defined on either page,
apply to all target devices being backed up over Fibre Channel. Therefore, any changes
here will also apply to StoreOnce Catalyst target devices over Fibre Channel and vice versa.
• When the user creates a library, using the VTL-Libraries-Create function, they specify which
FC ports it will use.
• The world wide names for the ports can then be found on the VTL-Libraries-Interface
Information tab.
