HP StoreOnce Backup - Manual (Page 19)

Table 4 Device Details tab (continued)
Description Field
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 13)
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.
NOTE: iSCSI multi-initiator mode is not supported.
To create a new library (administrators only)
HP recommends:
•
Only configure the libraries that you need
•
Only configure the number of cartridges that you are likely to need
NOTE: Refer to the HP StoreOnce Backup system Concepts and Configuration Guidelines,
available on the HP Support web site, for guidelines on setting up a backup policy/job within
backup applications. This document is helpful in determining the required number of libraries and
cartridges.
You can add cartridge slots at a later date to expand the system and remove individual blank
cartridges from a library without deleting the whole library.
1.
To create a new library device for the host, click Create in the upper left corner of the screen.
2. Enter the appropriate details in the Device details tab (page 17) .
To enable Data at Rest Encryption for the new library, configure it at this time by checking the
Encryption Enabled box. This feature requires a license. If the license is not installed, an
information message is displayed next to the check box stating Not Licensed. See
“Security
Features” (page 12) and “Licensing” (page 12) for more information.
NOTE: The Replication Wizard does not allow creation of an encrypted target library. If a
replication target library needs encryption enabled, you must create the library on the target
appliance before replication mapping to it.
