Identifies the port on the HP StoreOnce Backup system to which the device is connected.
This will be the port used for the Library device as well as the default port for embedded
Media Changer Port
tape drives. The number of ports available in the drop-down menu depends upon the
interfaces that your model supports and your network configuration.
There is always one iSCSI port.
StoreOnce 4900 and 4700 models only: there are four Fibre Channel ports available.
When creating a library you may select individual drives or Fibre Channel ports 1&2 or
Fibre Channel ports 3&4.
Other Fibre Channel models have two Fibre Channel ports and the option of using Fibre
Channel port 1&2. Not all models support Fibre Channel.
See also Port assignment for StoreOnce Backup systems (page 22) for important information
about cabling Fibre Channel ports and drive assignment.
Enables configuration of the barcodes for the library to display six or eight characters. The
HP StoreOnce Backup system generates barcodes automatically for cartridges. When entering
Number of Barcode
Characters
a barcode manually, 8 characters are required. If the 6–character barcode is selected, the
StoreOnce Backup system will truncate to the top six characters, removing the top two
characters of an 8–character barcode, i.e. barcode 1ABCDEFG will truncate to BCDEFG.
The barcode is displayed with the truncated characters in brackets on the Cartridges tab,
(1A)BCDEFG.
Enables Data at Rest Encryption if you applied a Security license. Encryption cannot be
enabled or disabled once a library is created; it can only be enabled at library creation. If
Encryption Enabled
enabled, encryption is performed prior to writing data to disk for this library. The correct
license must be applied to enable encryption.
Enables Secure Erase if you have applied the Security license. “None” leaves it disabled
(default). To enable, select the number of preferred Overwrite Passes (1, 3, 5, or 7). This is
Secure Erase Mode
the number of times the data is written over after deletion. See “Secure Erase” (page 18)
for information about the Secure Erase feature.
The backup application used on the system. This optional field is provided to assist with
support troubleshooting and has no impact on performance or deduplication efficiency.
Backup Application
The type of data being protected by the backups. This optional field is provided to assist
with support troubleshooting and has no impact on performance or deduplication efficiency.
Data Type
This is the Initiator Node Name of the host that will back up to this device. You must enter
it manually when you are creating a new device. If you are using the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator,
iSCSI Initiator Name
(iSCSI devices only)
you can find the name by running the iSCSI Initiator on the host and copying the Initiator
Node Name from the General tab.
Check this box if you require the initiator to logon. You must also provide the Initiator CHAP
user name and secret.
Require initiator to logon
This should be the same CHAP user name that you configure for the target on the iSCSI
Initiator. (On the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator, this is the User Name as it is configured on the
Targets tab in the Log On to Target Advanced Settings.)
Initiator CHAP User
Name
This should be the same CHAP secret that you configure for the target on the iSCSI Initiator.
(On the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator, this is the Target Secret as it is configured on the Targets
tab in the Log On to Target Advanced Settings.)
Initiator CHAP Secret
Check this box if you require mutual CHAP authentication, which means that the target must
also log on to the initiator. You must also provide the target CHAP user name and secret.
Target required to logon
to initiator
On the iSCSI Initiator you must also make sure that mutual authentication is enabled. (On
the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator, make sure Perform mutual authentication is checked on the
Targets tab in the Log On to Target Advanced Settings.)
