Network Compatibility
For the best performance, the HP StoreOnce Backup systems should be connected to the servers it
protects via a 1Gb or 10Gb (gigabit) Ethernet network, dependent on product. It is supported on all 1Gb or
10Gb Ethernet network interface cards (NICs) and switches, dependent on product. The devices will run on
either IPv4 or IPv6 networks.
The HP StoreOnce Backup systems are also supported on 100 base-T Ethernet networks, but performance
will be severely restricted. This product is not supported on networks using slower Ethernet technology.
When using Virtual tape devices the StoreOnce Backup systems can communicate data over your Ethernet
network using iSCSI technology:
For Windows systems, this requires installation of the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator 2.02 or above)
software driver on each server that will be backed up to the HP StoreOnce Backup system. This
initiator is downloaded and installed from Microsoft automatically by the installation wizard and is
also available via free download from the Microsoft website at:
http://www.microsoft.com
For supported Linux operating systems, a software iSCSI initiator is provided with the operating
system but may need to be installed separately if not included in the initial operating system
installation.
