Using DHCP to discover the HP D2D Backup System

If you are connecting the HP D2D Backup System to a network that has a DHCP server, DHCP addressing

is enabled by default. The IP address and other network settings are assigned automatically when you

connect the HP D2D Backup System to the network. You only need to know the name of the HP D2D

Backup System to complete the installation and create an 8–slot autoloader configuration. The name is in

the format D2DBS- and can be found on the label on the front of the unit.
In the web browser type in: D2DBS-

NOTE:

Depending on network settings, you may need to enter the full domain path.

Once the HP D2D Backup System has been discovered on the network, you must configure the Microsoft

iSCSI Initiator on the host, so that the autoloader devices on the HP D2D are visible to the backup

application. See “

Using the Discovery Engine to discover the HP D2D Backup

System

If your network does not have a DHCP server, the Discovery Engine allows you to locate the HP

D2D Backup System on your network and assign network settings, such as the IP address. It is the

recommended way to locate and configure the HP D2D Backup System on your network, if you are

using static IP addressing. It also allows you to select your required base configuration and specify

the number of slots for an autoloader.
The Discovery Engine can be run as part of the Installation wizard or as a standalone utility from the HP

StorageWorks Tape CD-ROM.
