HP StoreOnce 6500 Backup Installation Planning and Preparation Guide

Have you calculated the total IP addresses required for your configuration? .............................
This value can be calculated after you have completed the tables in the next sub-section.

• Management subnet: requires one virtual interface per cluster and one physical IP address per
node
Total required?................
Range?................
• Physical data subnets: require one virtual interface per node and one physical IP address per
node
Total required?................
Range(s)?................
• VLAN data subnets: require one virtual interface per node

Do you intend to add Data In Flight encryption to any of your subnets?.......................
The Security Pack license is required. If you wish to configure encryption for a subnet, you will
need to know the client IP address and password. Do not record those details here, but ask the
8.
HP Support engineer to demonstrate how to use StoreOnce CLI commands to configure IP security
(IPSEC) after initial network configuration. Note that you will require a Security Pack license
installed on all couplets.
IP address details for all subnets
NOTE: StoreOnce software version 3.11.0 changes the networking model from one of five
pre-defined templates to a single, more flexible configuration file, thus removing the requirement
for contiguous IP addresses that applied to previous StoreOnce software revisions.

Once you have defined the portset for the physical Management subnet, remaining portsets may
be defined for physical or VLAN Data subnets. The number of IP addresses provided must be
sufficient for the number of nodes. Physical data subnets require two IP addresses per node: one
for the physical bonded ports and one for the virtual interface. Virtual data subnets require one IP
address per node for the virtual interface.
