NAS and VTL backup targets
3.x.x StoreOnce software continues to support NAS (CIFS and NFS) and VTL (Virtual Tape Library)
functionality that was previously available in products running 2.x.x software. There are small
differences in the VTL emulation types available in 3.x.x software, so your backup application will
need to be re-configured after the conversion. In addition previously configured WWNN and
WWPN values will be different after the conversion, so Fibre Channel switch re-configuration will
be required.
NAS and VTL Replication
Replication functionality for NAS and VTL devices is present in 3.x.x software and is compatible
with both older single node appliance software and B6200 multi-node appliances. Replication
offers a way that you can migrate previously backed up data onto your appliance after conversion
to 3.x.x software completes.
License Compatibility
Licenses for Capacity upgrade and Replication that were purchased for use on your existing
appliance are also valid after the conversion to 3.4.x (or later) software. Your appliance will retain
its existing serial number so your node-locked licenses can continue to be used. In addition, after
the conversion, you can purchase licenses to use the Catalyst functionality.
Installation on disk
Existing single node products running 2.x.x software boot and run from a flash memory device
located inside the appliance chassis. 3.4.x (or later) software, however, is installed on the appliance
hard disks. The installation process is outlined below. Note also that the capacity available for
backup is smaller after the installation of 3.4.x (or later) software due to installing the software on
disk.
RAID Configuration
Because the system software is now installed on the hard disks in the appliance there is some
capacity reduction for non-expanded StoreOnce appliances. (See Comparison of usable
capacity (page 9).) However, because the 3.x.x software does not configure a spare disk in the
RAID configuration, the available capacity of expanded appliances is the same or higher than
appliances running 2.x.x software.
StoreOnce CLI
The Single Node appliances running 3.4.x (or later) software deliver a customer-accessible,
enterprise class CLI interface as well as the GUI. This StoreOnce CLI is used for several configuration
tasks and also for day to day administration of some features of the StoreOnce appliance.
