StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel

NOTE: 

The Fibre Channel Settings tab is only relevant to certain StoreOnce System models and will only

be available if your system supports Fibre Channel.

If StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel is supported on the StoreOnce appliance, the Fibre Channel
Settings tab is available. StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel functions in the same way as standard
StoreOnce Catalyst (over Ethernet). The backup application will not perceive a difference. However, some
configuration is required to set up the backup and restore connections between the ports on the
StoreOnce System and the ports on the client servers. This is done using the Fibre Channel Settings tab.

When using StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel:

• Backups are supported on StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel interface and over Ethernet

networks.

• Appliance-to-appliance connectivity through optimized StoreOnce Catalyst copy jobs is supported over

both Ethernet and Fibre Channel.

• Administrator client privileges are required to run StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel because it

accesses OS-specific device files associated with StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel devices.
See 

Client configurations

 for more information.

Configuring StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel

NOTE: 

If using Fibre Channel, consult the 

HPE Data Availability, Protection and Retention Compatibility

Matrix

 to ensure that client HBAs, switches, Fibre Channel driver, and firmware versions are supported.

Before configuring StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel, ensure that media/database servers can
communicate with the StoreOnce appliance over a Fibre Channel network. The storage administrator
must ensure that any network segregation, such as zoning, is set up to handle required connectivity
between the server and appliance. See 

Zoning considerations

 for more information.

NOTE: 

When using StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel:

Running StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel requires Administrator privileges to access OS-specific
device files associated with StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel devices.

StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel functions the same way as standard StoreOnce Catalyst (over
Ethernet); the backup application will not perceive a difference. However, some configuration is required
to set up the backup and restore connections between the ports on the StoreOnce System and the ports
on the client servers. Use the Fibre Channel Settings tab (available within the StoreOnce GUI only if
StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel is supported).

Fields on the Fibre Channel Settings tab

The tab contains three sections: Identifier information, Ports, and Devices. There is an 

Edit

 button in each

section.
