HP StoreOnce Backup System Linux and UNIX Configuration Guide (BB852-90952)

Once configured, the Network Path is displayed.
The StoreOnce Backup System supports NFSv3 protocol. By the nature of NFS protocol, there is
an element of randomness in the data transmission between the client and target device, in this
case, the StoreOnce NAS device. To minimize the randomness, it is recommended to use force
the data transfer to be synchronous.
The NFS device should be mounted using the following options explicitly to mount the StoreOnce
Backup System using NFSv3 and force synchronous transfer:
localhost:~ $ mount -o forcedirectio,vers=3 X.X.X.X:/nas/<name of share>
<local mount>
Using the following syntax, verify the mount point which lists the local mount, the remote mount,
and the parameters that the target device has been mounted with:
localhost:~ $ mount -v
The output will be similar to the following:
16.24.160.141:/nas/Share_1 on /mnt/nfs type nfs
remote/read/write/setuid/devices/rstchown/forcedirectio/vers=3/xattr/dev=8900005

Controlling an iSCSI or Fibre Channel HP StoreOnce Backup System using
Solaris
The HP StoreOnce Backup System appears to the Solaris operating system as a changer device
and Ultrium tape drive. The changer device represents the robotics within the library and can be
controlled from the console using a command called mtx. mtx is not installed with Solaris by
default but it can be downloaded and installed from sourceforge.net
The following examples illustrate how to complete common tasks with the HP StoreOnce Backup
System.
• Verify you are controlling the correct library
• Review the media
• Load a cartridge into the tape drive
• Unload a cartridge from the tape drive
• Move a cartridge to the mail slot
• Move a cartridge from the mail slot
