HP StoreOnce Backup - Manual (Page 49)

6. Click Create.
A warning is displayed that any backup jobs in progress will fail. Click Yes to continue.
7. The share is now available as a network drive to be mounted from a UNIX or Linux server so
that it may be a target for the backup application. See the HP StoreOnce Linux/Unix
Configuration Guide for more information on mounting shares.
NOTE: The share is not optimized for general purpose file storage. The HP StoreOnce Backup
system is an NAS deduplicating appliance that is optimized for backup.
Once you have created the share, if the correct license has been applied, the Secure Erase
Mode drop down box appears. Enable Secure Erase by selecting a number of Overwrite
Passes. See
“Editing share details” (page 44) .
Best practices for mounting an NFS share
Use the —o forcedirectio or the —o sync option when configuring an NFS share to prevent
issues with “out of order delivery”. See the HP StoreOnce Linux/Unix Configuration Guide.
NOTE: The sync patches require an rpm update of the operating system before the —o sync or
-o forcedirectio mount options can be specified.
