The following figure shows a configuration with a single host. The Installation wizard has been
run on Host 1. The HP StoreOnce Backup System automatically generates a library for the host.
The user may specify the number of slots during installation.
Figure 1 Device configuration with one host
•
By default, only one device is visible to the host, the iSCSI library that has been configured
for it during installation. Data from each host goes to its corresponding iSCSI library.
•
Each backup device is visible only to the host for which it has been configured.
•
A host may have multiple devices configured for it on the HP StoreOnce Backup System, but
this means fewer hosts may be connected (not illustrated).
The following figure shows a configuration with three hosts. The Installation wizard automatically
generates a library for each host. The user may specify the number of slots during installation.
