2. Press the Power On button on the front of the HP StoreOnce Backup System three times in
quick succession to reset it.
After approximately 5 seconds, the HP StoreOnce Backup System will begin its reboot
sequence.
NOTE: The HP StoreOnce Backup System will be reset to factory networking settings and
the Administrator password will be reset to Admin. No user data will be lost. Network
configuration defaults to Single Port configuration, so you may need to edit the settings on
this page.
3. After the reboot, the device will be in DHCP mode and also available for discovery using the
Installation wizard provided on the StoreOnce CD.
Beacon mode
Beacon mode flashes the LEDs on the HP StoreOnce Backup System. It is useful if you have several
HP StoreOnce Backup Systems on your network and want to confirm which unit is being configured.
• Click Turn Beacon On to activate beacon mode.
• If you do not switch off Beacon Mode from the Network page, it will continue for 5 minutes.
Fibre Channel (Configuration)
This page allows you to view and edit Fibre Channel SAN settings, if necessary. It shows FC
settings for each port on the FC card.
To edit the FC configuration
Click Edit to make the fields editable for each port. Make the required changes and click Update.
• Speed: The default is Auto, which is the recommended option. For users who wish to fix the
speed, other available values are:
◦ HP D2D4300 Series: 8Gbs (preferred), 4Gbs or2Gbs (not recommended)
◦ HP D2D4100 Series: 4Gbs (preferred), 2Gbs or1Gbs (not recommended)
• Topology: The default is Auto, which is the recommended option. Loop, where the HP StoreOnce
Backup System simulates a large number of FC devices, and N_Port, when a single target
device creates many virtual devices on a fabric attach port, are also supported. N_Port requires
the switch port to support NPIV (N_Port ID Virtualisation).
iSCSI (Configuration)
By default, a new library is automatically created whenever a new server first connects to the HP
StoreOnce Backup System using the iSCSI initiator. Use this page, if you want to disable this
feature.
