7 Network configuration, how to use StoreOnce CLI
commands
If you are new to the StoreOnce networking environment, read the previous chapter first before
attempting to configure the network..

Before running net set wizard
NOTE: There is an alternative configuration wizard
system set config
that carries out a
number of additional configuration tasks, such as setting time, as well as running
net set
wizard
. Refer to the Network configuration using system set config (page 36) or the StoreOnce
Backup system CLI Reference Guide for more information.
Before running
net set wizard
you must make a number of decisions about your network
configuration.
1. Do you wish to configure DNS servers? Up to three may be configured. Make sure you have
the address details before you start.
2. Are you connecting a single port or are you connecting multiple ports to your network?
3. Which Ethernet port(s) are you connecting? If connecting multiple ports, which network bonding
mode should be used,the default is Active/Passive bonding?
NOTE: You cannot bond a 1GbE with a 10GbE port.
4. Do you intend to connect to VLAN subnets, using VLAN tagging? If so, make sure that all
details are available to configure the VLAN subnets and tag IDs.
IMPORTANT: If you are configuring multiple VLAN subnets, HP recommends configuring
only a couple initially in the wizard, After initial configuration, you can create a copy of the
configuration and edit the copy to attach the remaining VLAN subnets to portsets using
StoreOnce CLI commands, as illustrated in
Modifying a network configuration (page 56) . This
is because you will not be able to save the configuration as you build it and if you make a
keying error during the wizard, you may have to start again from the beginning.
TIP: Even if you intend to use solely VLANs to connect to your system, HP recommends
configuring one physical subnet to test the initial installation. The easiest way to do this is to
use the default Quick Install connection to LAN port 1 over DHCP. When assigning DHCP
settings, most of the network values can be taken from DHCP. However, you must provide
VLAN tag IDs, if VLAN subnets are required.
5. Does your network use DHCP or static IP addresses?
If DHCP is used, it is recommended that once an IP address has been assigned, the system
Administrator should permanently associate that IP address with the StoreOnce Backup system.
This will avoid any problems with the IP address of the device changing over reboots.
If you select static IP addressing, make sure you know:
•
IP address of the HP StoreOnce Backup system
•
Subnet mask
