minimum of 50 GB free space). Deployment on both VMware
and Hyper-V requires you to create and add the data virtual
disks (1 TB) manually and power on the StoreOnce VSA.
It is possible to increase initial storage from 1 TB (up to 4 TB
or 10 TB in 1 TB increments).
See the relevant deployment chapter for more information
about increasing storage after deployment.
Decide how much backup capacity will be
required. Create and add additional 1 TB disks
to enable this capacity, up to a total of 4 or 10,
depending upon the license applied.
3.
If you intend to increase storage, you may also need to
increase and reserve memory for the Storeonce VSA, as
described in To increase virtual memory for optimal
performance (page 47).
At deployment a 60-day Instant-On license is applied, which
enables all StoreOnce VSA features. This license should be

replaced with a purchased license to enable use of these
features beyond 60 days.
The Instant-On license enables you to add storage up to the
full capacity of 10 TB. If you intend to install a 4 TB product
license at the end of the trial period, please make sure that
the storage on the VSA does not increase beyond 4 TB during
the Instant-On period.
NOTE: Backup targets become read-only if a purchased
license is not applied within 60 days. They revert to read-write
targets as soon as the purchased license is applied.
Use the serial number of the StoreOnce VSA to obtain a
purchased license to use from the HP Webware site as
described in Licensing (page 15), and apply the license as
described in the relevant deployment chapter.
Once installed HP StoreOnce VSA will be visible in vSphere
client on the ESXi server or in Hyper-V. It will also be accessible
via the StoreOnce GUI and Command Line Interface (CLI) .
Read the supporting documentation for using the
StoreOnce VSA.
