Fibre Channel configuration
Backup and restore is supported over both Ethernet networks and Fibre Channel SAN. However,
the StoreOnce Management Console always requires an Ethernet connection. When using FC to
back up hosts, you should still connect to an Ethernet port.
Fibre Channel connection
The HP StoreOnce Backup system is supplied with the correct FC card pre-installed. It does not
include FC cables.
1. Connect to the appropriate LAN port.
2. Use a FC Multimode 50/125 (preferred) or 62.5/125 cable to connect the port(s) on the FC
card in the HP StoreOnce Backup system to the Fibre Channel Switch.
3. The switch must have a multi-mode transceiver that supports speeds of:
• HP StoreOnce 4400 Series: 8Gbs (preferred), 4Gbs or 2Gbs
• HP StoreOnce 4200 Series: 4Gbs (preferred) or 2Gbs
4. When you use the StoreOnce GUI or CLI to create the library device, be sure to select one of
the FC ports. The following example shows the Port drop-down in the StoreOnce GUI. For
information about the other fields, see the HP StoreOnce Backup system User Guide or online
Help.
