• HP MSL8096 Library (HP D2D4300/D2D4100)

• HP ESL-E Library (HP D2D4300/D2D4100)

• HP EML-E Library (HP D2D4300/D2D4100)

• HP D2DBS Generic Library

If it is supported by your backup application, HP D2DBS Generic Library is the preferred emulation

type because it does not emulate any physical library types in existence and is clearly identifiable

as a StoreOnce device. It is the most flexible emulation type available; however, backup

application support varies by software vendor.

Fibre Channel (FC) Fibre Channel (FC) supports network connectivity over fibre optic cabling or copper wiring. FC

has a different set of standards and network connection protocol to Ethernet and different

configuration requirements. FC HP StoreOnce Backup Systems may be connected to both a Fibre

Channel SAN and an Ethernet (as an iSCSI device) network. The FC connection is used only to

transfer backup data from the host to the HP StoreOnce Backup System. Access to the Web

Management Interface is always across an Ethernet connection.

Hosts A server that is being used to back up to the StoreOnce system via iSCSI or Fibre Channel, this

may also be a backup application media server which can back up other servers on the network

that do not have a direct iSCSI or Fibre Channel connection to the StoreOnce Backup System.

Housekeeping If data is deleted from the StoreOnce system (e.g a virtual cartridge is overwritten or erased),

any unique chunks will be marked for removal, any non-unique chunks are de-referenced and

their reference count decremented. The process of removing chunks of data is not an inline

operation because this would significantly impact performance. This process, termed

“housekeeping”, runs on the appliance as a background operation, it runs on a per cartridge

and NAS file basis and will run as soon as the cartridge is unloaded and returned to its storage

slot or a NAS file has completed writing and has been closed by the appliance. See also the HP

StoreOnce Backup System Concepts Guide.

iSCSI On an Ethernet network the HP StoreOnce Backup System is configured as an iSCSI device. This

means that the HP StoreOnce Backup System plugs directly into the network, but it presents devices

as directly-attached SCSI autoloaders to host machines. In order to function, it requires an iSCSI

initiator. For more information about iSCSI, see the HP StoreOnce Backup System Installation

and Configuration Guide. Linux and UNIX users should also refer to the Linux and UNIX

Configuration Guide on the HP StoreOnce Backup System CD-ROM for more information.

Library library is a Virtual Tape Device that appears to the backup application on the host as a physical

tape library. A tape library is a backup device that has multiple drives and multiple storage slots.

Each storage slot contains a cartridge. This provides considerable storage capacity and full

support for tape rotation strategies. The difference between an autoloader and a library is that

a library can support multiple tape drives whereas an autoloader only has one tape drive. (It

may be necessary to upgrade your backup application to support libraries.)

NAS Shares Devices on HP StoreOnce Backup Systems may be configured as Virtual Tape devices or as NAS

(Network Attached Storage) targets for backup applications. NAS target devices on an HP

StoreOnce Backup System provide network file share access that is optimized for backup to disk

and are referred to as NAS Shares in the Web Management Interface.

All HP StoreOnce devices that are configured for NAS automatically make use of HP deduplication,

ensuring efficient and cost-effective use of disk space.
