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

To verify that the Linux machine now has access to the target device, use the following command:
localhost:~ $ cat /proc/scsi/scsi
The output of this command will be a list of all the configured SCSI devices on the system, including
the HP StoreOnce Backup System. An example output would be:
Attached devices:
Host: scsi4 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: HP Model: MSL G3 Series Rev: pc81
Type: Medium Changer ANSI SCSI revision: 03
Host: scsi5 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: HP Model: Ultrium 3-SCSI Rev: pc81
Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03
Configuring the HP StoreOnce Backup System for NAS (NFS)
IMPORTANT: SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 and Red Hat Advanced Server 5 do not have
support for ‘sync’ option for mounting NAS targets. A patch is available to be integrated into the
server which requires an expert Linux administrator. To apply the patch, please refer to the
StoreOnce Downloads page to acquire the patch file, the appropriate instructions in the release
notes, and any associated customer advisory.
The StoreOnce Backup System NAS interface should be configured to use NFS as the Access
Protocol when backing up data using Linux.
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 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 –t nfs –o nfsvers=3,sync x.x.x.x:/nas/<name of
share> <local mount>
